Not really. Only reports are coming from one press member who is posting on FSU. The press attended the practice with those 4,000 school kids but I wouldn't rely on any of those kids for reports
I was told that practice was closed to the public so I went to the Louvre, sad, I could have passed for a high school student

Yes... you are probably thinking of Vanessa James & Morgan Cipres they had a nasty visible fight in the Kiss and Cry early this year. People wondered if it was the cusp of a breakup, but they showed up together at worlds working on throw 4S and seemed on good terms again and have been doing well.

Thanks for the reply StitchMonkey, I'm telling you, the people on GS are so much more knowledgeable than anywhere else.

It was not a real fight but Morgan was letting it be known he was upset with Vanessa who fell in the program. He was reluctant to hold her hand when acknowledging the crowd when they finished and ignored her at the K&C, leaving as soon as the scores were announced, leaving behind Vanessa and a coach who comforted her.

^^ this was fight #2... you and stitch are talking about different fights
yeah.... the one i was thinking of Vanessa was very clearly doing the yelling and the angry one.
Anyway, they seem to have figured things out so good for them.

Really? Fights happen after performances, right? Let's see if they will continue to take turns.
Anyway, I'm concerned for Vanessa's safety. Pairs is a dangerous sport requiring complete trust and the male partner needs to be protective.

The first attempt was controlled, the trajectory was very good, it looked as if she could have landed it on one foot. I'm all for her practicing the quad and triple axel throw with two feet landings - she's already taking much risk, I want her to stay healthy. And I don't really mind her landing on two feet in competition either, it's still a very appealing throw because of the height, distance and good flow out. If she lands the first attempt on one foot she should get +2 minimum.i don't doubt she will land on two feet...loving the height on the them though

the definition of a jump/throw jump is that it is taking off on an edge or a toe pick and landing on ONE foot.... i would have no issue if, she just secured the landings in practice with the assistance of the second foot, as I agree, we do not need another injured pair diva... however, every competition since her return, she's two footed something... it's getting to become a problem. hence my comment. i will be happy to cheer when she lands her throws/jumps on one foot.

Yes, the problem is if she practices with two feet landings it's getting a habit. I personally always prefer a good triple throw over a mediocre quad throw. But the judging system doesn't and Aljona wants to rack up all the points she can possibly get. The thing is - even with a two feet landing this isn'ta mediocre quad throw because of the height and distance. Yes, -1 for the landing, but it's still very good.

The 2nd group in pairs a marked improvement in speed, quality and difficulty. E&Z seemed slow, even to their slowed music, T&M better but somehow with little personally. S&M sold the program like crazy (the only ones, btw), but occasionally slowed down to almost a halt. Still like them the most. Some awkward moment with robin and aliona in the same narrow corridori. A polite distance was maintained.
Now being bored by SD 1st group. Gilles & Poirier had a good start, but the disco seemed slow in places. The best moment: piper walking Paul to the gate, his eyes were closed... And just now: guillaume fixing gabriella's lipstick before warm-up

I'm not sure of either blues or hiphop being a very good choice for ice dance. Hubbell & donahue's medley had very little hiphop in either music or movement and again that disconnect btw music and what happened on the ice. I&Z were good, but the blues could have been dirtier to match the music.
And then P&Z... The blues was fine, but the swing part was just so lively, low-down, dirty and cool. I'm almost wishing they would have taken on hiphop.
Adam warming up in the background! Guys getting ready.
