They are keeping their short program from last season but will be skating to music from "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" for the new free skate!

"Their potential is quite big as they can do all triples and they always enjoy learning something new," said coach Galina Pachina.

Such an interesting couple all the way from the outback (and some Russian in the mix). I was so pleased for Australia when they turned up a few years ago. I'm not surprised they are hardworking after encountering so many setbacks with the pandemic (even if they did not get it). Kudos!

Yay! The step sequence from that SP was absolutely top notch brilliant. Will be glad to see it again!

Wow, what an international journey this team took to keep together during COVID: very intriguing to read, kudos to them!

Thanks for the interview - I'd been wondering how Hektor became fluent in Russian, but it makes sense now considering he was stranded in the country for over a year I wonder if he speaks Greek too

It's also encouraging to know they have managed to be so successful the past couple of seasons while doing the majority of their training in Australia. I'm looking forward to seeing more of Jonathan Guerreiro's choreography/coaching work!

What an interesting interview!
They have had such complicated training challenges to overcome.

I am really looking forward to their performances this new season! If only I liked Umbrellas of Cherbourg better.

...and they got assigned to Skate Canada and NHK Trophy

Another old warhorse that really should be put out to pasture.

The music, right?

The music, right?

Right. The Umbrellas score was already overused when *I* was competing, and that, kiddies, was not the week before yesterday. It didn't help that my partner made up his own vulgar lyrics to "I Will Wait For You". If another pair was using it, he'd sing along under his breath during practice sessions and make me giggle.

HA! I guess I am the only one who still enjoys that old tune I am excited to see how they can develop. If they can do all triples, they certainly could bring up a flip or a lutz in there to make some waves and rack up some points. This is something only very few teams have managed to do, especially in the SP.

OK, so I have a new favorite figure skating name: Hector Giotopolous Moore. How can he miss?!

Throw your partner, roll up the score.
Just like Hector Giotopolous Moore!
