I dont see that happening though, that would mean Savchenko hopping into another citizenhip, lol
I guess she will become a Fumie Suguri of Pairs sadly
Smir is a weak jumper. How many times has he messed up in big events? Already half crippled as well.
Go for someone young who can jump.
You're all going to think I'm crazy but: can she partner up with Ingo instead? Bring HIM out of retirement?
Tran! Decent jumper, expressive, had very good pair elements with Takahashi.
I agree Duhamel is the weaker link, but there are no female pairs skaters capable of pulling off the technical moves she does. I would love to see Aliona try though! SBS triple flips maybe?
But Tran went through a heartbreak of pairing up with non-Canadian and didn't go anywhere.
He would not compete for Germany. He wouldn't move to Germany.
I don't think she wants to compete for Canada or moves away from her coach either.
