Have Inoue/Baldwin retired?

[demarinis5]

Are they doing the GP series? I have not seen them listed.. Anyone know what's up with them?

The ISU has them listed as competing at CoC and NHK, so I assume that they are doing the GP.

Their bio on usfsa.org (http://www.usfigureskating.org/AthletePairBio.asp?id=18340) lists their music for this season: SP Music: "La Cumparsita"; FS: Selections by Wagner.

Why would they retire? And even if they do, there's always a chance of them coming back in 5 years.

Thanks for the info. I am pleased that they will be competing. I have always liked this team and look forward to seeing their new programs.

I don't see Baldwin EVER retiring....

i am dissipointed in thier music selections, i would really like to see them cahllange themsleves music wise, and not just focus so much on one throw which they landed cleanly ike 2 last year. I mean it's great that they are doing it and everything, but if they want to be condedndors for a medal at worlds, they are going to have to improve in the artistry department. but really, if they don't have it yet, they never will.

That may be true but if that theory was applied to other skaters as well, we would have very slim pickings. lol

Baldwin will be like Keith Richards. Even after he's clinically dead, he'll still be performing.

exhibition

Just found their new exhibition program. I'm actually pleasantly surprised. The choreography is quite nice, and finally there's some chemistry between them. Hope they'll have a better season.

Very, very nice. Thanks for the link. I know I am in the minority here but I love this team.

i am so happy a pair finally skated to this song. It is perfect for pair skating. I would have done the chreography a little diffrent, and Rena really has to get a diffrent style dress. She always looks the same. But very good! thanks for posting!

Glad to see there's another fan of I & B! I've always liked this pairs team and feel that their previous years' exhibition music choices have hurt their opportunities to be seen more during the COI tours. there have been times I've heard some good stuff on the radio while driving and think - now why can't they use something like this? They're "dance-y"...they just need better music (and costume!) selections.

Very, very nice. Thanks for the link. I know I am in the minority here but I love this team.

I like them too, and hope they'll have a great season. Thanks for the youtube link.

Thanks! this is a great forum. I'm just a former "pond skater" so I'm no expert in figure skating, (except in knowing how hard it is to stay vertical and how hard ice feels when you don't).

Welcome to Golden Skate, Meem. Post often,post long! :agree:
