Thanks W/P for breathtaking FD at TCC , congrets.
by the way I heard they are moving to Zoueva I wonder if this is true :scratch:
I haven't watched yet day2, glad they skate their best. But what? I hope they are not moving there. I just can't see how that is gonna help them, when there are already Shibs there. Ugh, so many coach changes this season...
Well, I am glad too. But to imagine that they won the FD just barely over Chock/Bates on TES, but lost quite a bit to them on PCS which seemed unthinkable at the beginning of the season. Of course, it's US, just like Worlds, but it still seems quite telling. They're just not the Canadian number one team anymore.Great FD performance for W/P yesterday. I'm very happy for them that they ended the season on a positive note after a disappointing couple of competitions.
Hi everyone! The Spokesman Review had a beautiful large photo of Weaver and Poje in their special section Sunday: https://www.dropbox.com/s/d52rvdc1cacclfj/Photo Apr 25, 7 47 48 AM.jpg?dl=0

The way they played in print is so striking.
I'm not sure a change in coaching is needed? They need to figure out why they have peaked before the World Championships instead of peaking at the end of the season. They've not skated their best at the end of the season unlike other teams who give their best performances at Worlds. It seems like that's on them, not their coaches.

There already is a bloody good tech specialist at DSC--about the best there is--and her name is Natalia Annenko. Sometimes it's a little simplistic to say just do the required turns in footwork and key points in patterns correctly. Precision is often a function of speed and difficulty. It looks like this season speed, difficult holds, and skating close together wasn't always rewarded.
seriously, I hope they're smarter than that...there is really no such need to make desperate moves and go bananas with coaching change and stuff for Kaitlyn and Andrew. The first thing is to realize that this was a very bizzare season in Ice Dance, especially regarding scoring - this was all over the place with those level 4s handed like candies, second is to reflect on that latest FD choices (if this is really stuff they're feeling comfortable in) and last - to let their fortes shine in good programs, not necessarily under different coach (especially Marina... see Anna and Luca fiasco 2014/15, this did not get them any favours and look at them now - charming themselves going places).
They just have to sit down and think a bit of programs which would be nothing but complimentary of their strengths: passionate connection, sparkling chemistry, vivid presentation, effortless transitions, then HIRE A BLOODY GOOD TECH SPEC - look at Shibutanis under Maurizio, their sharpness, confidence in execution and ease in presenting stuff is remarkable. When they will have tech issues sorted, they'll get this kind of confidence and ease in performance which I hope for.
Overall - really strong finish at TCC, very emotional moment, now they have to rest and gear up, looking forward to hear about their prospective programs

Here's to a wonderful new season for WeaPo. For now I'm looking forward to their wonderful Get Low program.

Kaitlyn and Andrew are in France! https://www.instagram.com/p/BHPiiyXAxA8/ In a very good company of Florent and Denis. I must say, didn't except them being there :shocked: And tomorrow we will find out what GP assignments they wil get
I hope there will be some more information from them soon as I'm very curious now myself too!Now I'm curious are they there for choreo from Zazoui, Morozov, Schoenfelder? Or are they preparing for a show or is it just a working vacation at a camp Florent is hosting?
