You must have been watching with no commentary. They said Deanna and Maxime are committed through 2026 and possibly beyond. Deanna says she’s the oldest now and she will still be the oldest then and she wants to write her own story. Now obviously catastrophic injuries (god forbid) happen, and other things. But those are their plans.Do you think Deanna and Max will retire after this year? Mind you the lure of Montreal might help. Lia and Trennt have a great future. six mos and no. 6 in the world. Wow! I saw some Meghan Duhamel influence on MK especially the throw triple lutz. I believe though the lutz is worth the same as the flip? Hmmm I think we can tell why pairs tend not to do quads any more like Duhamel and Radford - it just isn't worth it and too risky. An individual lutz is 5.9 pts. Throws are worth over half a point less. What about BRandon and Alexa? I suppose they might want to stay on til the next olympics if the Russians don't come back and China is sort of non existent/developing again. The second Americans look ready to move on to the podium. I expected more from the Germans and Georgians but they too could come along with the Australians who unfortunatley had a rough short. I would have loved to see the Canadians at least get a small medal here but they didn't even do that. I think Deanna and Max really need to get her to be a diva in these performances and they need to push the envelope with tech skill and amplutide on their elements. That's one thing I think is appropriate criticism. Teh amplitude is lacking.
I get the definite feeling that Brandon and Alexa plan to retire, especially since they’ve moved back to Illinois. The only reason I can think of that they might change their mind is to do it for Todd.
I don’t understand why they couldn’t have a coach there. I know obviously Todd and Jenni could not be there, but Chris is listed as one of their coaches. Why couldn’t he be there?
My favorite part was Alexa sending Jenni a hug from the K&C. Just so cute.
I would not be surprised if Ellie and Danny passed Chen/Howe.
It has taken me ..2 days to watch this? It’s MUCH more fun with y’all.
