Takahashi has new SP for 4CC's

[deedee1]

Why is he working with him in the first place then?

Why get Morozov to choreograph if he feels he must de-Morosov?

Idk. I am not Takahashi.
But Nikolai is a very good strategic coach, I think, considering Amodio has been the Euro Champ+medalist for the last three seasons, and Miki the two-time World Champ.

Watching so-so debut of his new SP at 4CC, I was surprised that he actually got Lv4 on StSqeven though helost the balance a couple of times. In his old Stroll SP, he was doing such energy-consuming, exhausting and forever-lasting StSq, but seldom got Lv4 the whole season. Whether we like it or not (me is included 'not' group, btw), Morozov is not that bad as a choreographer when it comes to how to construct 'competitive' programs decent enough for points after all.

Now it's all up to Takahashi himself whether this SP is going to be another masterpiece by the amaging Dai or another zzzz program from Mr. NM next month. Goo, Dai!

Great points and I do agree with you. I do believe Nikolai will also bring in the politicking needed for Sochi next season since he is Russian blood after all. We all see how hard work alone doesn't get you the gold re: Nice 2012

Does a well-known choreographer also give skaters reputation points?

I don't know what to say yet, because I'm still recovering from Dai's 4CC debacle. It's encouraging that he got a Level 4 on something in SP. I will remain hopeful for Worlds.
