Yes because when I think of an Austrian waltz, the first image that comes to mind is marching soldiers. Oy veh.

If they're going for the Overture of Romeo and Juliet then great, I like that idea, this piece https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59whblSmnw8 is very strong and powerful, suit the march part I think

I just provided a OP update for our favorite quirky, full-of-drama dance pair: http://www.goldenskate.com/forum/sh...mitri-Soloviev&p=903988&viewfull=1#post903988
There's still a lot to put in, but I covered the highlights! My plan is to add more over time (namely the 2007-2010 stuff and galas).

I love seeing the galas, since I so often missed them the first time around!

New interview with B/S:
http://www.sovsport.ru/gazeta/article-item/827998
Highlights for me:
- Anna Karenina (their FD) made some man cry when they were skating it at Turkey during training camp. They didn't say who it was, but it looks like it was someone important, at least for them. And no, it was not Zhuline. It was very touching.
- They're practicing at full force now.
- Dima still has minor pains sometimes.
- It was Plushenko's recomendation for Dima to come to Munich for consultation about his injury.
- They are ready to fight.
- Zhuline's became a 'second father' to both of them.
- Zhuline give them some freedom when they're preparing their dances. They contribute with interesting ideas sometimes.
- They think they are different now, than before Dima's injury. Katia waited for him, she practiced days and nights alone, now they're closer than EVER, and they will show that to us in their dances.
I'm so excited! Want to see them at Barcelona

This is sort of a problem for me. I don't know if I want to see them, or Shibutanis at the GP Final, as I feel that Shibutani's new FD to music by Coldplay and with choreography by Tchernyshev could be wonderful and probably their best FD to date.I'm so excited! Want to see them at Barcelona

Never been a fan of Shibs, sorry
But I actually think there is a real chance to see both these teams there. Really.
Both B/S and S/S could be in the Final if they get a second and third place each, Cappellini/Lanotte and Ilinykh/Zhiganshin also get a second and third place each at their events, and both B/S and S/S have higher combined scores than C/L and I/K. Or if either C/L or I/Z get second places at both of their events, Gilles/Poirier would also have to be second and third at their events for Bobrova/Soloviev and Shibutanis to get into the Final (only if both have second and third place as I said before) - and G/P are very likely to get second place at both of their events. And I actually want Ilinykh/Zhiganshin to be in the Final even more than I want B/S and S/S, although I understand that it will be very difficult for them to win Cappellini/Lanotte so early in the season.Never been a fan of Shibs, sorry

It annoys me so much that a much weaker team like G/P are almost guaranteed to be there thanks to the very easy draw, and there are 4 really good teams scrapping over two places.
I am a little concerned that in the interview Dima says he still has some pain...

I agree with pretty much everything you've said. But.
I actually like G/P, but I don't think their spot is guaranteed at all. I'm sure Sinitsina/Katsalapov will give them the run for their money at SA. They had higher PCS in last season even with their terrible technical performance. And I would not put Y/M out of the way of G/P too. They are definitely G/P caliber team already. If not better.
I also have almost no doubts that I/Z will end up higher than C/L overall.
But like I said, the chance is real. I can see S/S to beat B/S at one event. But I'd rather B/S to win both

Sinitsina/Katsalapov may not be able to pull it together technically at least in the beginning of the season. And Yanovskay/Mozgov will be a just out of juniors team - usually those don't get very high PCS, especially if the country they are competing for already has established top couples. Shibutanis were an exception, since some more established teams (Pechalat/Bourzat, Bobrova/Soloviev) made serious mistakes at Worlds, and other slow climbers (Weaver/Poje, Cappellini/Lanotte) hadn't yet reached the level to get that kind of acknowledgement from judges.I agree with pretty much everything you've said.

But I agree that Gilles/Poirier have rivals at their GPs who could beat them. That's why I wrote that they will very likely get two second places, not that they will definitely get them.

Hmmm... very bold prediction given he is still suffering pain ...

I imagine the DRAMA on this forum. Particular members will probably die from a heart attack And on serious side: I have a very good feeling about their next season. They have beaten all of the teams who're on top now, except for Papadakis/Cizeron for obvious reason. I know it was long time ago, and probably doesn't mean anything for the judges, but it should give them confidence. And now they're hungry for the wins. So who knows? I expect them to at least be #1 russian team, and may be they will surprise us.
Well, you know, they may not be able to pull it together or they may be. No one knows, right? And Y/M is obviously dark horse now, my point was that their potential is very impressive already, and who knows when they will break out on the top level? I'm willing to bet that they will surpass M/K and S/B in this season, or at least will rise to their level. Which is basically the same as G/P's.
G/P's draw is easier, that's true, but IMO it will be hard for them to qualify nonetheless. And honestly, I don't see them at Fianals. Time will tell of course.
