wow!! so before they were actually getting their big elements... (well they had the lutz but that's it)... that will be interesting to hear what you think... so many people complain about setting up yet i have heard that live, the set up for big elements doesn't appear all that slow... it's worse on tv... so I'd be curious to know how you feel is their flow compared to last time you saw them.. .of course, it's a long time ago, so perhaps you cannot compare but still looking forward to hearing your impressions !

Yes it was 2013 because it was the Alice in Wonderland FP. Quite a while ago, I just remember precisely that I became a fan at this moment... But I certainly won't be able to compare their skating
Sincerely I have never been bothered by what some call "long telegraphed set up" I mean, this man is going to throw that tiny woman up in the air to do FOUR turns and hope she lands it without crashing into pieces. Blame them for cautiousness.
Oh well, guess I'll be able to tell when I see it.

Hey Meagan and Eric fans! I'm so late I'm sorry but my week post GPF has been busy, but I promised you some reports, so there it is

This was not the competition we expected from Meagan and Eric of course. But after all, they are human. They will come back stronger especially for Worlds, no doubt about that
But I have to say that Marseille confirmed my opinion about them and about everything we read or here about them , leading to one conclusion: Haters gonna hate.
I found their SP fabulous, despite the mistakes. They have that personality on the ice that they're not afraid to show off, even if it's not the standard that people want to see. And for this I love them even more. They are so different from other couples il all aspect of their skating.
After this GPF, I'm convinced Meagan is an idol. Such power, grit, willness in that tiny woman. She's truly amazing. How she stayed of her feet for that 4 sal...
Talking about big elements... 4everchan it's for you ... I didn't find their set up that slow. It's longer of course, than for other elements, but I didn't find it particularly slow. Just cautious, as we said before. I'm thankful to have seen their 3A and 4S live. They are crazy...
I talked about Meagan but Eric has nothing to be ashamed of. He's an incredible skater and partner, he's so strong and precise. His involvement is superb.
I hope I can see them skate live once more before they stop their carrier.
