I think that's a good point I think that the underlying cause of the breakup of the Zoueva-Shpilband collaboration was too many top teams grousing about how much attention the other guys in the stable were getting and hey, what about ME?
But Mack and Mabel -- the all-time greatest program in the history of ice dance (the holds alone --you don't see that any more)!
Maya's and Alex's skating career was not 'cut short' by Maya's cancer diagnosis. If they had plans to make a comeback to skating during the period of the diagnosis, there was certainly no indication of that. I think a cancer diagnosis once you have stopped skating does not mean your career was cut short, but your life might possibly be.
Yoi know, I couldn't help feeling, watching these engrossing demonstrations of skating skill, how the time just whizzes by, leaving the spectators wanting more, more, more.

No it was different and more than that. More of a power struggle and miscommunication b/t the coaches.

I really want three new teams because I still feel Chock and Bates has been given a lot for what they have shown. Yes, they are very good but to me their skating is not iconic. They are competiting at a time when there is no iconic ID. NO PC, No VM no even Davis or White. This is not the time of Torvill and Dean, Bestmianova and Bukin or Klimova and Pomarenko. There are a lot of very good teams but not magical or unique even like the Duchesnay's or the romance before the break up of Usova and Zhulin. I do not consider CB's programs masterpieces like Virtue and Moir or PC or the eams of yesteryear. And to be fair not every quadrenniel can nor logically should produce such teams of calibres otherwise teams would no be iconic or special if they are a dime a dozen.
That's quite true. You don't have to outstate the legends of the past, all you have to do is ro beat the teams that are on the ice right here, right now.
I don't know how much of an ice dance fan I am, but I don't like them in ice dance because they just look so artificial and 'pastede on yay' and the dancers never ever look comfortable and natural doing them. Maybe because it's not a move that benefits from the need to be so much in synch? They are fine and can be beautiful in singles.
To be fair, there are people who think the same about every discipline at the minute (and some who think the same about them all), the ones going to Milan will be the ones judged by USFS in their {ahem} wisdom as the current best and likeliest podium contenders they've got. YMM-and-for-a-lot-of-people-definitely-will-V.
Plus, the GS aito-correct feature keeps changing it to "twiddle."
I also feel bad for other ice dance teams that have been working a long time to get to thier first Olympic Games, ie, Green and Parsons.
