BTW #1: A second "serious" version of the HPC class photo accompanies the long text portion of the blog.

BTW #2: Virtue/Moir and Chan are not "not giving any signals that they intend to retire," according to this Skate Canada blog.

I think V/M will make their decision depending on how well W/P do, unfortunately. Since it was also stated that Zoueva did not give V/M the attention and support last season resulting in V/M having to depend on their federation for feedback and last minute tuneups, I have a feeling we will not be seeing them compete again. I do not want their Sochi season to be the last we remember of them.

I wonder if Krylova/Camerlengo will recruit one of Tessa and or Scott to join their coaching team, now that Scali moved to Zoueva's team.
