What is it about this team that stands out for you?
Their lifts and moves were very unique! Things I hadn't seen before, it was quite interesting. I think the CBC commentary nailed it on the head that they are special due to their tricks but need to work on their basic skating to make the full package. Love their gumption though!
Thanks for the article on N/N. I've enjoyed their skating, but didn't know much about them. Reading about the obstacles they've overcome to continue skating makes me appreciate them all the more.
Clever programs with genuine personality and razzmatazz. The choice of Mozart this year should be a good way for them to stretch their range. I'm definitely keeping an eye on them for the future...
Thanks for the article. She in particular seems very focused and ambitious.
