I am more than disappointed this year with P/C's programs. Sorry... My admiration seems to drop year after year since their fabulous Mozart. Moonlight Sonata for me is a huge missed opportunity.... It never picks up in the second half... so I am waiting to see how it will evolve this year.
thanks for sharing your feelings alain but to each his own I guess...
Just not Canadian enough? :sarcasm:
I think Papadakis and Cizeron have the edge in the free dance, so it will all come down to whether Virtue and Moir can build up a lead in the short dance.
I can't wait for the Grand Prix season and U.S. nationals to see which American team is able to separate itself from the other two. Hubbel and Donohue have been getting a lot of notice over the last year, but I wouldn't count out Chock and Bates as the biggest competition for the Shibs.
i am sorry but i named many non-canadian teams in my post that i appreciate.... it's not because i made a joke about a canadian swap which is 100% unlikely to happen, that i am blinded by national bias...
saying that i liked P/C better in Mozart than in Beethoven is something shared by many, including P/C hardcore fans... no need to make a national discussion about this.
Re-read many of your post ... you do.
Their SD is definitely brilliant. Gabby and Guillaume have a lot of fun to perform it. One just needs to watch the Finlandia Trophy videos and look to their faces. Gabriella is tremendous in this rumba/samba dance. She perfectly brings this typical energy and joy we expect from women dancing latin music. And what can I say about Guillaume's talent as dancer? We know he practices dance outside the rink, different kinds of dances BTW. To me, he's the best male dancer of all this season. It's so obvious in the short...
