Who's D&M?
There are so many great skates to Rachmaninoff, but when it comes to his second symphony, the first skater(s) I think of are: Mishkutenok-Dmitriev. They captured the power of that music like no one else. JMO.
Favorite Rachmaninoff performances on ice

I love his lines, his landings on the jumps, and the overall impression. I miss his skating.

I'm guessing D&M is referring to Mishkutenok and Dmitriev
I love Pang & Tong's 2004 LP from Worlds. IMO the best Theme of Paganini program!

My favorite Rac on ice are:
1: Daisuke Takahashi
2. D/M
3. Sasha Cohen.
BTW, I found the interesting video, Rac/Sasha, Dai, Suguri and D/M

It was a delight to watch. What a shame she had a such short-lived skating career. I was hoping she could make a comeback as a pair skater, but for a reason unbeknown to me, she just simply disappeared from the scene.

Thanks for your choices and the link, but could you please refer to Mishkutenok-Dmitriev as M&D and not D&M? The woman's name comes first in a pair or ice dance team, then the man's.
Wasn't she wonderful? I think she left pairs also because of injury. But good for her for giving it another try. I loved seeing her return and was also saddened to see her leave the sport again. Nam remains a bright spot in American skating history for me.

She was adorable. So talented, and such artistic presence for a 13 year old!

I am not a skater, so don't laugh at my stupid questions:
1. Was John Nicks somewhat responsible for Naomi Nari Nam's hip injury? Was her injury due to his failure to ensure proper techniques, warm-up, and so on?
2. Was Sasha Cohen's jump inconsistency that haunted her career also a legacy of his teaching?
3. Did the poor technique plus her all-out speed leading to a jump cause Naomi's injury, whereas Sasha, despite her poor technique, was saved from it by keeping a more reserved speed?

When I looked for links to Naomi, it said that she's married and has a little boy born just this year. I don't know anything about her husband. The Wiki article said that she speaks fluent Korean and during her career had advertising endorsements over there. Now that skating is so big in Korea, thanks to YuNa, maybe Naomi can have some involvement there. Just a hopeful guess on my part.
Okay, here's a link from a skating magazine. Apparently Nam teaches at East-West, the Kwan family's rink. Her husband is a fitness trainer.

Naomi seemed to have potential as a pairs skater at the national level, but she had injury problems and it think it finally forced her to retire from competitions.
