You have to realize that I like to see the balletic stuff more in pairs than in dance, so to me, S&B's particular strength is a weakness, and leads to an inability to express the character of the dance in OD's, which is a pet peeve of mine. I am always happiest with teams with great OD's that really knock it out of the park with respect to showing character, or who at the very least seem to be trying to show character.
Yes, we have different view at ice dance. For me balletic is maine thing for young ice dance skaters. And maybe i like classical teams more. And maybe i didnt see Meryl in ice dance at all in 90th, when all ice dancers must have ideal lines, hight.But now we have another times. But she even didnt have really expression, like small Khohlova/. I like Ryzanova/Gureiro too.
As for WCH - i dont know, wht happened. All four best teams have an injury. I think B/A have more time, than others for preparing for WCh/ I hope Isa will be ready.for WCh and all others too.
All this teams know Paso and didnt need a lot off time on it. I hope best will win
