Wow! Annet P. is that old? She was the 1980 OGM, so - yes, she could have a daughter old enough to be skating in the seniors.
Thanks

I disagree. I think that Totmianina/Marinin skate as one, but not Petrova/Tikhonov as much. She is amazing, but he is a bit lumbering, although improving in the last year, since his posture and his stamina go hand-in-hand. In some ways Borzenkova and 6'6" Chivuyaev move more as one, and the newish pair Sheshtakova/Lebedev are remarkably in synch. Savchenko and Skolkowy are very well suited, mainly because he has good posture, and I think they are quite simpatico.Ptichka said:However, I think CoP did not fully reflect the level at which P&T skated "as one" over S&S. Indeed, P&T has higher components than S&S, and lost on elements. There, however, I think the Russians weren't rewarded enough for their greater unity. Finally, in the rules on component scoring for pairs, things such as "unison" are included in almost each of the components; I would rather see unison being a 6th component.
