Does anyone remember when this show was actually about champions? It included only Olympic skaters and most performed their Olympic routines (I remember Kulik in his yellow shirt, doing all his jumps except the quad). Now we have acrobats, hula hoops, and skaters who were never champion of anything.
At Dallas, in my opinion, Johnny Weir stole the show. Plushenko did not do triple axel (and why should he, no one in the audience seemed to know or care). Michelle did a beautiful Charlotte, straighter and higher than Sasha's. Kimmie didn't do this show. Has she been doing her triples in other shows? Lycacek did some nice jumps but he needs better choreography. Would like to have seen another pair (were Inoue and Baldwin not invited?)
For all my complaining, I must say Petrenko was great to watch.
