I really liked their performances this week. I adore both their current programs and I like the changes Marina has brought to their skating. Their Bolero is simply divine. Such hame about the toeloop but what can you do. I hope they are not too disappointed about 'losing' the Russian national title.
This thread has been a bit... depressing read lately. I just want to say, the way I see it, Evgenia & Vladimir have already achieved plenty, much more than most skaters ever achieve. Sure it feels there is still some untapped potential in them, but if it will never come out so be it. Personally I feel the move to Marina was a good one. I see their skating changing and for the better, program-wise and performance-wise. Sure there has been problems, and perhaps it has and will hurt them politically, but this isn't ice dance and even in ice dance there has been more unpredictability since the implementation of this new, cleanliness-valuing scoring system. Evgenia & Vladimir themselves appear to be in a positive mindset which is nice to see.
I'm looking forward seeing them skate at Europeans and Worlds and I'm sure I will enjoy their elegant and refined skating best of all. Like the super fan that I am
