I can't bear it.
Daisuke Takahashi back to Nikolai Morozov

OMG It's must be a joke……
ok,well,although I don't like recent Morozov,what he did with Daisuke isn't very bad.
BUT because of Russian federation,it look like a conspiracy...Do you think Russia Federation will allow a coach who works with most of their skaters teach their biggest enemy then win the gold in Russia?I think they won't do this unless they want to control their ememy……
This does go against previous reports of Russians traning non Russians if they are going to be in Russia. Like with Fernandez and Pechalat/Bourzat. Unless there is an exemption for previous work relationships. For men it doesn't matter because Plushenko is the only one anyway and he will be traning with Mishin.

Oiee...if Dai needed some help with some Russian influence...I would have preferred Viktor Petrenko....I wonder what Ms. Ando is up to?

...I thought Russia was telling its coaches NOT to coach the competition?

It's the Gotterdammerung. I'd head for the hills, but I fear they're alive with the sound of music.

Oh my god ! I detest this ! This is insanity.
I can't imagine this is purely Dai's decision ( having escaped once ). Oh , my soul ... I can't bear it.
..and more bitter tears.

The Daitterdammerung.....
I don't get this at all....this is one heck of a crazy coach changing, firing, etc off-season. entertaining to a certain degree but it is leaving me with a big stomach ache! Are all of these changes some kind of conspiracy to get figure skating in the news???
Dai, you are one of my all time favorites - so, I'm wishing you all the very best but I have to ask: WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHY???

Conspiracy theory #1 : Russian Men are in a real and long slump. Old Man Plushenko is the only hope for the Olympics, only if he stays healthy. He can assume the leadership in training but it's the same old Russian style that hasn't worked in the COP era. They realize they need non Russian COP savvy style to be competitive. They approached sly Morozov, who told them they should entice Takahashi to train under him again because
Beware Daisuke. The Russians are in control if he trains under them. They would use him to motivate the Russian team with his presence and work ethic and to adopt his fancy dancy transition style and techniques but who knows if Daisuke himself would be "allowed" to compete at his full physical and mental health at Sochi when the time comes.
Kidding (or dark humour) aside, I try to apply my principle of more observation and less judgement, rather than the popular practice of fitting reality into a preconception or theory. Putting aside my not so positive impression of Morozov and his recent choreographies, the fact is he has been a very successful coach for a long time, he is in demand and most of his students are loyal to him. He must have much to offer to skaters under him to be in such position. Takahashi is smart and ambitious. He knows what he is doing.

I often feel the same way but...most of the times they (skaters) just do it to themselves!

According to Flade, there is still "hope" that Nichol will be the choreographer. Not that I'm crazy about her work but....hopefully it will be better than empty and vulgar Morozov's

Nichol's work can be wonderful when she has a skater with a really sophisticated ear and feeling for music ( like Kostner )..I was expecting her to really be able to soar working with Dai.. Oh, God..and no strong drink in the house..otherwise, I'd be drowning my sorrows with Chaka Khan..
