Those photos are too cute. I'm a sucker for doggie photos!

At this rate, DJ will be needing her own thread in Fan Fests. Two more photos (from Feb 17) of the most irresistible member of Team Davis/White:

Detroit News article, pre Worlds.

Thank you so much, doris! Was a great read indeed.

"I think we have different moments in our past that we have favorite performances, but I think we really like all of our programs and appreciate them for what they did for us in our career. It's hard to compare them because you put so much work into them. I think every year the program we're doing at the time is probably our favorite because we're putting so much into it and I think we feel that way this year, as well."

:agree: I so agree! What Meryl and Charlie do on the ice always bring pure joy of skating to me. I love their programs season after season, enjoy them tremendously and never get tired of watching them!

Best of luck to Meryl and Charlie at London Worlds! :yay: I hope they can win their second world title there.
And more importantly, I sincerely hope they stay healthy/injury-free until Sochi! :yes:

​

The call is 18:49 in length.

ETA:

My only disappointment is that when asked to assess the strong field at Worlds, White mentioned Virtue/Moir, Pechalat/Bourzat, Weaver/Poje, and the Russians ... but not D/W's great friends the Shibutanis. hwell:​

There is a nice Meryl & Charlie article in the on-line version of Skating Magazine:

My most heartfelt "BIIIIG CONGRATULATIONS" to Meryl & Charlie, too! :yay:

I would rather want leave my message here, than some of the actual competition threads which are just :disagree: these days...hwell:

 

[Olympia]

I'm so excited for them. In this case, one can love both couples and be thrilled for both. In fact, I can't imagine loving just one of these incredible teams.

Tell me about it.

I'm so thrilled that Meryl & Charlie won! I could only be happier if Tessa & Scott had skated their SD perfectly, too.

I'm assuming both teams will be at WTT again, so we don't have to let go of this year's programs just yet. However, my heart shuddered when I heard Marina had said not only that she knows what music she is going to use for both teams, but that she didn't need to listen to any music; it is just all in her head.

I'm afraid we're in for the 15th coming of Katia & Sergei programs; that's the music that is in Marina's head.

This is gold. I feel that she never really got over that team.

 

[Olympia]

This is gold. I feel that she never really got over that team.

Well, who could get over them? But I hope she's able to give D/W and V/M just the right programs for them. If I hear the Moonlight Sonata, I will be very afraid.

There is a new Classroom Champions youtube up that Meryl & Charlie made post Worlds.

It is about leadership, involves their dog DJ, and they are working on their Olympic programs already.

Great early News on D/W's preparations for Sochi: According to DWTS pro Derek Hough on his blog:

"This week, I also started working on a very special routine that's not for the show. I'm choreographing a number for our world champion ice dancers Meryl Davis and Charlie White to perform at the Olympics next year. They graciously asked me to do it and how could I say no? It's truly an honor and they're amazing. They won silver in Vancouver, are five-time U.S. champions and two-time world champions. If you're not familiar with them, I highly recommend you check out some of their routines. They actually taught me a new move that I might have to do on the show. It's a trick and Kellie would be able to do it. Maybe you'll see it in a few weeks!"

Now I have to see DWTS the next couple of weeks to see which of Meryl & Charlie's lifts they use (I'm guessing it's a lift).
