Why does Italian Federation make TERRIBLE decisions about sending their skaters to the Olympics?
Bacchini in 2006, Fontana in 2006, now Parkinson in 2014. UGH.
Karel Zelenka was sent in 2006. I would send Bariev to Sochi

Just thinking the same thing. He does look like a lovely young skater though. Flashed back to a list of drinking game rules for watching USA Nationals competition that was posted on Twitter.Uh, just what we all needed, another Carmen.
Doesn't it remind you of cinemascope colors?doesn't this bright orange I mean neon orange shirt just scream west side story to you? not

If Carmen program, take a drink.
So true. Add in Andrew LLoyd Webber programs, and a new rehab clinic may be needed.Carmen, Swan Lake, R&J, West Side Story... one can develop a drinking problem by the end of the season!
I wonder how "risky" it is to skate to a previously untried and unchoreographed music. A wrong choice of music or a poor choreo may make it more difficult for the jurors and the audience to connect to the performance, and degrade the skaters chances. Maybe this is why tried and proven music is prefered (and overused). How well can experienced coaches/choreographers foresee how a new music will be received in the skating hall?Carmen, Swan Lake, R&J, West Side Story... one can develop a drinking problem by the end of the season!
Weiss touches on the russian men's situation, that Plushy will have a test skate next Tuesday and that the Olympic Team will be announced after that.
He says the rumour is: Plushy will do the Team event and another one will do the individual, but that's forbidden IN THEORY.
BUT loophole with wd'ing after the team event
I know, I was just translatingThere's no loophole any more. ISU just published a communication forbidding replacements between the team event and individual event.
