Yes. If the best happen to be V/M, D/S (Russian or French) or B/A, there's an excellent chance! Otherwise, not so much .Is there a slight chance to win the OGM by the one who will be the best on that competition?
Oksana, please tell us what's going on with Maxim. Is he still suffering from the injury?
[Oksana, 05 May 2009]: Dasha, unfortunately the injury is still bothering him, that's why he needs to undergo treatment in order to recover completely and be able to carry on living and training in peace.
Oksana, Maxim, again congratulations to you! What are your plans for vacation?
[Oksana, 05 May 2009]: Once again, thanks to all of you for congratulating us. Just being in Moscow is a holiday to me. I'd love to go to the beach, but it's impossible to make plans since we don't know how long Max's treatment period will extend.
Оксаночка, when are you going back to the US?
[Oksana, 05 May 2009]: Lucia, as soon as Maxim comes back from Germany we will head to the US to start preparation and training for the Olympic season.
That's why I think it'll be V/M. The games are in Canada and both D/S teams might not be in top shape (at least Isabelle's reason is a happy one). I think politically, the winner will likely come out of the four teams I listed. The only thing that might happen is D/S being injured and the Russian Fed throwing their support behind K/N, who will then rise Phoenix-like from the 6th place ashes .The Russian D/S are handicapped too, as far as I know Shabalin is still in Germany for treatment and they haven't been really training since Worlds. .
I always feel it's so difficult to judge which team is the best for icedancing. All of them, D/S (russian and french) and B/A and V/M are great. (However I never get the other russian team K/K?) But when I first saw V/M for 2008 Worlds, with the music from movie " Les parapluies de Cherbourg", they just took my breath away. There is just something so special and ethereal, unbelieveable chemistry
I don't think so. My worst possible scenario came true at worlds when Domnina & Shabalin were handed the title, and I guess the same thing will happen at the olympics. As long as they show up, they'll win. Of course, I sincerely hope that this won't happen, but I've become very pessimistic after worlds.
