Ptichka, I liked Nikoli's choreography until it all started looking the same.Ptichka said:While I think Morosov is indeed a bit overrated
I think he is a fine choreographer, but I think the jury is still out on him as a coach. He is taking credit for Bourne & Kraatz's World Gold as well as for Arakawa's OGM, but I am still not sure how strong a coach he is (BTW, for me Vasiliev is in exactly the same category; I see the young Russian pairs flock to him, and just don't know if that's wise on their part).Dee4707 said:Ptichka, I liked Nikoli's choreography until it all started looking the same.
Antilles said:Yay. They might actually get some original choreography now. We won't know within ten seconds of looking at the program that Morozov choreographed it. I was annoyed this year that their FD was quite a rip off of A&P's R&J, and not even done as well. The music, costumes and choreography looked too much like the '98 program.
With G&G retiring, who does that leave in the Morozov camp, dance-wise? Lefebvre&Markov are there, but they aren't a top level team. They could also use new choreography.

I've been a longtime fan of G&G and while in the beginning he gave Elena and Ruslan better programs than the ones Linichuk created for them ("Quixote" and "Hanging Escape") Morosov never seemed to address some of the weaknesses in G&G's skating. The inability to maintain speed throughout the program plus the fact that overall Ruslan was a much weaker icedancer than Elena.
