Rus Fed assigned a tech specialist to help S/K over the past two weeks. They stayed in Russia between CoR and NHK. Doesn't look like it helped.

Lol if it was a Russian tech specialist it certainly explains the low tech score. They are all completely incompetent at getting tech levels. Everyone is russian ice dance needs to be fired and basically they need to be in Detroit with no one connected to Russian fed having any involvement.

I heard they stayed in Russia because Cappellini&Lanotte went there too with Marina. But I thought they stayed there for logistic purpose.
Don't they already have a technical specialist?

how do you do that?

If you're using Google Chrome, there's an extention called 'Hola' that allows you to browse from any country via connecting it to an IP address within that country. For example, I am currently in Macedonia, because they do not buy specific skating rights ;)

Did we ever get the reason why Cathy and Chris pulled out of their first GP?

If they do they are certainly incompetent or officials from the Russian federation make them incompetent seeming by changing everything

Reeds have approximately same TES as S&K. The tech specialist does not seem to have done much.
Score 50.55 into second.

Next up Monko & Khaliavin

I can't get through Icenetwork even with Hola. :disapp:

What is it with spanish music this season? It's everywhere!

What do you mean? It's Paso Doble.

They trained in USA with Marina till now. I know Margaglio is working as a tech specialist, at least with footwork.

"To address the newly established couples in Japan has turned the highest quality, in the course were put enough solid strength: after Moscow and not too successful for themselves rental Victoria Nikita remained at a training camp in Novogorsk. Together with them for the entire period of training and remained coach Marina Zueva, in aid of which the Russian Federation skating detachment of one of the leading technical experts.

The presence of the famous coach in Russia took advantage of world champions Anna Cappellini and Luca Lanotte. After a crushing defeat in Shanghai Italians thought it best to opt out of participation in the "Grand Prix", but came to Navagorsk to bring both their programs to state more clearly than it was in the beginning of November."

Seems to have made things worse by the looks of it.

I remember when the reeds would sometimes come close to or beat I/k. Looks like it was all Nikita's fault. Hallelujah Elena is free of him!

score tracker shows them about 5 points ahead of S&K in tech. They got level 4 for their crossing twizzles, and have a cleaner paso in general. They were nice & close on the step.

I can't say I particularly like their dance though. She's all elbows.

59.70 SB

I really like the early 2000s pop music they have playing between skaters, it really amps up the drama.

Ksenia's lipstick color looks really good on her.

I thought Marina and Oleg had stopped working together, hmm. Maybe trying to salvage her team's tech scores?

And the Reeds were with Igor at the end of last season, now with Marina? Interesting.
