Maybe.. But that should be forbidden too, IMO. Its really distracting and the unison should come without saying anything

FWIW, I do think that they stop the commands later in the season - their unison at Canadian Nationals 2012 was breathtaking.

P/T - may be shadows of their former selves. But that was just beautiful. Should sneak ahead of D/R by two or three points.

Why? I think almost all teams do that. It's how they know when to change positions.

I just dont like it. Some pairs achieve good unison without the commands.. Im not an expert, but should the music and training 'tell' them when to change position??
Nevermind, that was just my minor comment...


P/T - a beautiful skate! It seemed that they barely started skating when their program just finished.. But I really hate their lifts - her lack of extension is painful to watch.

Liudmila Vlasova is a choreographer of Ilinykh/Katsalapov. But I saw her with Bazarova/Larionov now. I didn't see her name on the russians bio.

Okay, huge score, but so totally overmarked. Whatever - still a lovely program (PCS was high, and fairly so).

awful jumps (I can't say they they don't try to do them at the sa,e time, I think they struggle to land them), awful arms, all the rest is good. SP was a masterpiece!

B/L lack unison even during basic steps and crossovers. They are very sloppy.

Vlasova sat with Cappellini/Lanotte today at the kiss&cry. She didn't work with Morozov, she works with Shpilband.

After Pang, Bazarova's air positions in the lifts are just a balm, though.

Agree ;). It annoys me that through all these years there is no the slightest improvement from Pang. At that level of skating she should improve at least a bit!
