They trained in USA with Marina till now. I know Margaglio is working as a tech specialist, at least with footwork.
Monko/Khaliavin lead Sinitsina/Katsalapov by about 4.5 points
I am concerned with Russian federation involvement. They don't know ice dance tech.
Anyone else really tired of the paso doble at this point? Can we just skip to the free dance to see the teams really show their styles? (And there are only 8 teams here, imagine how it will be at Worlds )
Well, sometimes depends on the skaters also. I&Z got good levels on their SD for example.
I would bet that's because they worked with Najarro, who is a paso expert. I know the Montreal group went to Spain over the summer to learn from actual Flamenco dancers as well. Any chance that Marina hired a paso expert, or no?

That is part of it. I/Z have solid skating skills as well. Their short dance is the only one I absolutely love at this point. They have the tech and the presentation. Best SD this season imo.

I agree that they do have some of the best skating skills out of any team this season - it's apparent. I've watched their Carmen from RC so many times too, it never gets old It's a great vehicle for them, and Najarro/Kustarova/Alexeeva did a good job of fitting it to their strengths - which can't be said of many of the SDs this season.
They are still below world medal level in tech. I mean c/b have a davis and white type margin over them.
