Probably, but it is a fight like this, among other things, that made Mao great.

I've got to respect at least going for it every time. I think that it's pretty weak to only do things you are comfortable with and not try to improve. I'd put concentrating on landing jumps at the cost of expression in the same category - Just have the expression and eventually you'll get the jumps, or at least fail trying.

& go Bychenko!
Im so sad nothjing's working out for him rn:(

Oh now TAT talks about him! coincidence!
She was in USA & saw Alex skating badly & his boots went wrong & these 2 weeks he may not have gotten used to them
The whole summer he skated & practiced rather good
Oh now Yagudin talk
He could get comfortable & skate in new boots in 1 day (well its Yagudin after all hehe!:biggrin:)

Poor Alexei. That must me so frustrating. I really like this free program for him (and I normally groan at Les Mis), but you can tell it's a struggle for him to get through. :(

I hope he doesn't end up like Kevin Reynolds...

That's a great remark and an admirable sentiment ... but to me it's throwing the baby out with the bath water. Musical expression, connection, artistry are what distinguish figure skating from other sports.

Question: has anyone ever skated to Les Miz as Javert? That could be an interesting variation with a very clear yet untypical story.
