I agree, I’m so excited for this young lady she is improving with each event. Hope she continues on this path in all the upcoming eventsOh, Madeline skated with...wings today! She skated with a freedom and determination
I feel sorry for Roman, but anyway, he did a quite good job, better than the ones at 2021 Skate Canada for sure. If only the judging panel made things right...Roman had a good skate! Unfortunately the scoring was not great at this event, he ended up 4th but probably should have been 3rd and on the podium. It sucks, but still must feel good to put out a good skate after Skate Canada mishaps.
Yes, Roman deserved to be on the podium here IMO. On the positive side he's really building this season, and I think this performance should solidify a spot for him on the Canadian Olympic team. I kind of feel like, watching Nam this season, his head is already out of the game. He's said this is his last season, and to me his performances look like he's already done with it.Roman had a good skate!

Roman is still struggling from all the growing-up issues and needs to be more consistent, but comparing to what he has done throughout this season, the 2 programs at Rostelecom were better than the others of him.I just finished to watch men's FS. I discovered Roman Sadovsky!! He really is a great asset for Canada! So expressive and powerful skater!
They’ve both had health/injury problems.Moore-Towers/Marinaro is so puzzling to me this season. They should easily be crushing the competition in Canada, yet they look shakier then they have in at least three seasons. I don't know what's going on in their heads, but they need to get it together.
Fournier Beaudry & Sorensen were never on the same level as Guignard & Fabbri, score-wise. The former came surprisingly close to the latter in the RD at Lombardia two years ago, but that was it.Looks like Fournier-Beaudry/Sorensen were the victims of a political push by the Italians, who are suddenly being scored as medal contenders for the Olympics, when these teams were battling it out as recently as last season. I far prefer FB/S, as I've always found Guinard/Fabri to completely miss the mark for me with their material, and that has not changed this season.
I know, but I don't think that fully explains just how far they have regressed.They’ve both had health/injury problems.
I think that only injury what keeps them to succeed in Kirsten's psychological make-up.I know, but I don't think that fully explains just how far they have regressed.
Their twist and lifts were their most problematic elements all along, and with Michael’s back problems it’s not surprising that they’ve gotten worse.I know, but I don't think that fully explains just how far they have regressed.
Laurence is a stronger skater than Nikolaj for me. He's a bit stiff especially in the legs and could do with more emoting. They have good ice coverage, but G/F are also amazingly fast (despite both being small people). G/F have better matching lines and synchronicity, as well as some of the cleanest footwork around.Looks like Fournier-Beaudry/Sorensen were the victims of a political push by the Italians, who are suddenly being scored as medal contenders for the Olympics, when these teams were battling it out as recently as last season.

It's funny, until I read your comment just now, it had actually slipped my mind what great star power Kirsten has. She and Michael have just not been themselves this season. Still, they have a history of coming on strong after what was or seemed like a setback. It could happen. I wonder if part of the trouble, as you suggest, is that they've let James/Radford get into their heads a bit. But if it's shoulder or back issues for Michael, I take that as confirmation that KMT doesn't do her part in the lifts. Someone said Dylan had similar troubles when they were partners.I think that only injury what keeps them to succeed in Kirsten's psychological make-up.
She has to stop blaming everything and everyone around her and, instead, look deeply inside herself. And to be happy for other competitors success as well as.
And, I guess, no one denies she is a great pair girl and has a star power.
