I just hope he coaches them on technique and lets them be themselves and not inject that 'you must suffer' Russian passion. The Kerrs are a delightful team to watch and I'd hate them to lose that quality. But then, if they want to win a gold medal then I guess one has to have the Russian attitude. So be it.

ITA Joe, I'm sure they will always retain their individual qualities, which has brought them so many fans, new to Dance. They want to improve technically, and felt there wasn't enough challenging competition in GB. They'll be competing at SA next week, so hopefully you'll get to see their new programmes on TV and enjoy them. :agree:

John Kerr has written a new Diary Entry here too about preparing for SA and their victory at Oberstdorf:
