ITA - Those two old warhorses. She'll give him a great choreo, but for the Olympics? Evgeni only has to skate onto the ice as will Stephane and Brian.Ptichka said:I do think TT is a genius, but why does she keep choosing the same pieces of music everyone else has already skated to? Perhaps it's because audience relates to the known pieces better, but I still don't like it a bit. Let's see what she'll end up doing for Michelle.

I was hoping Johnny would be making a statement.
I hope she steers clear of Tschaikowsky for Michelle.

sk8er1964 said:Hmmm - I don't think Stephane or Brian are a walk for Oly medals. Stephane has one world medal to his credit, and Brian imploded at this year's Worlds. Plus, Plushy has to get healthy, although if he is, I do think it would take a lot to have him miss the podium (let alone the gold). I think there's several men (inlcuding Stephane, Brian, Johnny, Jeffrey, Evan, Emmanuel, etc) who have a very good chance of being on the Oly podium.
Joesitz said:I think my humor was off. I was not making a prediction. I would never predict on the last skate I've seen. That's why I am waiting for GPs with baited breath.
Just trying to understand the choice of Johnny's top ten lite classical hits.

I'm a very BIG fan of Johnny Weir, and I hope you are right.mmscfdcsu said:I'm sure you will understand when you see the numbers. I expect great things from Johnny!

michaelfsfan said:What a coincidence. IIRC Natalia Mishkutienok and Artur Dmitriev used the same pieces of music for their SP and LP at the 1991 World Championships in Munich. It will be very interesting to see what Tatiana Tarasova's choreography will be like, and how Johnny interprets both pieces of music.
Emma - M&D actually used it for both 91 Worlds and the 92 Olympics. Their costumes were almost identical, but different colors (one was a light silvery grey, while the other was a lavendery purple).emma said:It will be interesting to compare...that was one of my favorite LP's for pairs...just a question though...didn't they use it for LP 92 Olympics? I don't remember 91 Worlds so I could just be confused at the moment. Would anyone have a copy of M/D's Libestraum, or other skaters who have used it for comparison?
Also, is this the swan that Oksana B used for her olympics exhibition?
