Bukin is a good skater, but will never be able to skate like Guillaume.
Guillaume was phenomanal since I first saw him 8 years ago. He is exceptional talent, possibly the best male ice dancer ever.
Gabriella brings a lot too, way more than Stepanova ever will. Stepanova is just another good Russian skater, which is above average flexible, she is not the talent Gabriella is. (I am trying to be impartial as of course P/C are for my country ).
I can see how you are trying to remain impartial, but you are not doing a good job of it!
