It's like night and day watching K/S after Jones/Reagan. Yeah, there are some messy elements, but K/S are a pair while Brittany and Josh are two people skating together. I really makes you understand the intangibles of pair skating.

Oh god, Yuko looked like she couldn't even get to the K&C seat.

What is the motivation at this point? They clearly were not ready to skate here. They're endangering themselves and it's hard to watch.

My mind still hurts after this Turandot from Canadians, but Yuko and Sasha are always so classy

Is it just me or does Yuko seem to be hurting?

kinda OT, but I'm thoroughly convinced the Russian Fed is trying to sabotage T/M. They should be sent to Moskvina, she's exactly what they need and could make them champions.
And Yuko. :sad21:

Claire de Lune is my favorite ever program of Yuko and Sasha. It really takes artistry, grace, and connection with each other and with the music to skate that. Beautiful.

as harsh as we all are about the canadians, let's give the kids a break they're young and new

The motivation is to keep Moskvina in the K&C until she realizes she never wants to retire and adopts a young Russian pair and nurtures them to greatness!

150%. Which makes zero sense since it's pretty clear T/M are the federation's best bet for 2018 right now.

Some lovely moments in that programme. Very brave too. Worried for her ankle.

Yuko has always been one of the toughest cookies in this sport, or any sport. Amazing that she continued and finished the program. I don't know to be sad or applauding.
