I wish the moderators of this board would ban all comments on female skaters' weight. Some may argue that skaters' relative weights affect lifts and jumps and are therefore a legitimate topic. But the comments are often so mean-spirited and rude, and they ignore important physical and mental health issues surrounding the subject of weight. I don't think this sensitive and complex issue is intelligently addressed with comments like "So-and-so is heavy!" "No, she isn't!"
Good suggestion, eyria.
Coincidentally, the following tweet observes that Moir literally grew up lifting Virtue. With the inevitable fluctuation in their relative sizes as they matured over the years (and with their Cirque training), surely they always are thinking through how to combine power and technique to greatest advantage.

I remember, years ago, in Ilderton, thinking how crazy it was Scott could fling Tessa around like that. Now, its like a million times more.
