this year's I/K results were catastrophic. They goal was not to finish below S/S. But not only I/K finish behind them in 7th, but they main competition got to 3rd place. So no surprise with this news.
:agree:I sorta understand both sides. I agree there is cause for concern, regardless of the weight of expectations. But I also wonder if this is throwing the baby out with the bathwater a little bit.
My understanding is that it was the French federation that insisted P&B move.I feel sorry for him now, because cant understand, if Federation didnt let him work with P-B, why they thake off I-K from him too? But he really spend a lot off time in TV shows.
Vaitsihovskay in her blog talk about Zhulins problems with I-K, beciase they didnt want to work hard and think they are the stars. And they left Zhulin few times in the past, but he took them back. And she think, Morozov didnt want to take them too. But from another sourses look, like they are happy to work with Nikolay, so....
I have had such feeling since first looked at them THIS season in NHK competition, that they were having the star feeling on them(not sure if I use the right description). Their last season's skates were down to ground and with lots of sparks. This season, they looked up in the air. Just my feeling (and worry). It may not be true.
Or they were coasting on their hype and just did whatever they did and expected good things?
The comments are coming fast and furious from I/K's camp. It's all fascinating, if you don't care about their future success (which at this point, I don't). Both sides seem to be fairly bitter (publically).
