To be fair to gmyers, he was literally the only one saying that Ilinykh/Katsalapov had no future and should/will break up back in 2012 and 2013, and he turned out to be right

I do. I enjoyed their skate. Tiffany reminds me of Annisina. Very expressive team!
This team had a goal to be world champions their first season. They are not even getting out of nationals. What's the point of them now? To be a b event team that's sent to nebelhorn and Finlandia? Hope for a host pick of Russia cup sometimes? The rationale is non existent. I/z might medal at worlds. That's supposed to be s/k.

Uh yeah - and then they won Olympic bronze and team Gold in 2014.
Nice prediction, gmyers.Uh yeah - and then they won Olympic bronze and team Gold in 2014.
Yeah and then they broke up because no world medals no gpf medals no euro titles. They were a constant diaster and then they broke up. End of story.

I/K also bombed multiple competitions and gave a world title away...the only senior event I/K ever won was the Crystal Skate of Romania (!!). I/K never even won a GP, which is mind-blowing given their talent.
And now I/Z have won a National title in their first year together
You know, I will never get the Russian FED. Why did this official have to make such a belittling statement after watching teams work so hard?
"Do you know what the main difference between the current championship of Russia from those that were in my time? - Ironically asked in Sochi Olympic champion Gennady Karponossov . - The fact that before the whole country knew the duo that won the national championship, will compete for gold and the European Championship and the World Cup. Now all we need only for those who will be able to qualify for the national team, and go to the European championship, and who falls overboard. "
The original article: http://winter.sport-express.ru/figureskating/reviews/52243/
This is why I think it is so important for teams like Ruslena etc, to have supportive fans. It is VERY HARD ROAD to be a Russian figure skater. Wow.
On a brighter note, I'm just happy for Ruslena, me thinks he's just one messed up bitter old man, regardless of his previous achievements. Ugh!!!

There is no shame in saying that. It's really a good move in a different direction, the guys just weren't ready to do it justice. Looks like they are into more edgy sort of material atm.

There really is no shame in saying that. Degustibus. But which direction is that? I fail to see.
Not the first time this season he has dissed Russian skaters. Some people just like making headlines.
I think Z/G were underscored because Tiff hasn't got her release from France so can't skate internationally for Russia. It was lovely seeing her on the ice again, but I think it's a bit of a dangerous game - now Didier can see how good her new team looks, he will try even harder to hold on to her & not risk losing a skater that could challenge his teams.
You feel ashamed because of peer pressure. Which is quite silly but hey, it's the internet.

Any direction that will adequately conceal their flaws
Ah ok. I thought you were speaking about a concept behind the choreo.
