Re: Very interesting....
Whatever the real reason for the split, it's interesting, because every option seems equally plausible. I was really hoping their cooperation would last long and be fruitful, but "The best laid schemes o' mice an' men..." Oh well.
What about Tarasova being on very unfriendly terms Galina Zmievskaya and Victor Petrenko? More details, please? Is there some substance to it, or is it just Verner trying to be interesting? (after I've seen what he can come up with, I take his revelations with a big grain of salt).
I wouldn't, either. Plush, Sasha had already faced Michelle once this season, and at a cheesefest like that one, so if she decided not to go that time, it wouldn't have exactly looked as if she was avoding anyone. Their real face off is going to be at Nats, anyway. PLUS, whatever she does, there'll be always people who say she did or didn't do it "because of Michelle." So I wouldn't worry about that.Doggygirl said:Of course this is all speculation, but my gut isn't buying the "had to skate ill due to the contract" defense. My suspicion is that Sasha and /or her Mom didn't want to pull out of a comp with Michelle. If that is the case (which it might not be) then it was a bad decision. I wouldn't want to face my most formidable competitor if I were sick / tired from travel / under trained etc. where the risk of a bad skate is so high.

And he left his his coach (Zmievskaya), his choreographer (his wife), and his brother there? They all were allowed to stay, and only Viktor was shown walking papers? Hard to believe. Plus, I think I saw him there with my own eyes a few weeks ago.Originally posted by Jaana
That must have been caused because Petrenko had to leave Simsbury rink (where he had trained for years) because of Tarasova´s students?
