When I was very young and getting into figure skating (through ladies) I saw the video of Totmianina; it truly scared me, to the point that still nowadays I don't watch pairs live and only rewatch videos. It may seems stupid, I know. That's why it took me a lot more time to appreciate pairs but there are many that I watch with pleasure (S/H of course, but also M/C, S/K and P/J are among my favourites). Also, in my quest of FS proselytism, I found out that pairs is the most remarkable and effective discipline to show to a non FS fan, because of the extreme and daring moves (my totally anti FS boyfriend was truly impressed with last year French team LP and this year S/H SP, for example).
