Very well skated today! And the lifts indeed did seem more secure than they have been.
Tchernychev did their SP this season, didn't he? I think it's brilliant, it has so much fun choreographic details like the steps to the triple toes and the finger point and the small lifts. And while I like their LP and, unlike many, really like the music, in my opinion choreographically it just wasn't on par with their SP or with the LP's of other top pairs. So I think this is great news, and I'm looking forward to seeing their new programs! And
I'm a bit worried though, they have been so delightfully outside of the box with their music choices, if they decide to go with, say, the Nutcracker or POTO for the olympic season I might be a little disappointed
But not really. I think they can skate to almost anything.
