Tatiana Volosozhar & Maxim Trankov

BTW Why did they stop doing triple flip? If they want to keep on skating, they should be focused on improving difficulty because Stolbova and Klimov will not make their life easier. S/K may soon become what V/T were for Aliona and Robin. Don't get me wrong. I am their biggest fan, I know they have nothing else to prove but they should answer themselves a few questions: Are they now skating for fun (I am ok with that) or are they going to be better in terms of technical elements, stay on top of the podium? it's their choice. I don't want to complain. I just would like to know what their motivation is. Sorry for my bad english. I try as hard as I can;)
 
kasik, I remember Maxim saying that one day Tatiana made some simple math and realized that doing some very difficult elements would only get them 1 point more and it's not worth it. From what I saw the last couple of seasons, if they skate without major mistakes (or even with them) they always are at least 10-15 points ahead of the competition.

Yes, but it will not stay that way forever. Today they are "judges favourite sweethearts" but tomorrow some other pair can be named like that. Sooner or later. S/S can tell us something about it.

No one stays on top forever. :rolleye: Only they know what they can or want to do in the future, but I wouldn't write them off just yet? Hasn't S/K been doing that LP for 2 years now and they only managed to do 2 clean programs of it at Euros and the Olympics this year?

I think S/S problem became lack of consistency. When they delivered, they beat V/T this year, but V/T was much more consistent and S/S kept making jump mistakes. And I am not talking about the falls on the the throw 3A, but side by side jumps.
 
I don't write them off. As I said before I do love them, I am just curious/worried. I also hope they will improve their lifts next season, try new ones.
 
I wouldn't be too worried. :) I am thrilled they won the OGM, and anything else they do now is bonus and a gift for us fans. It's hard to stay on top - look at Yuna. Even if they just continue to skate, I would be thrilled to see them again. Meanwhile, we can continue to stalk.. er closely follow... their instagrams and Youtube. :)

I think S/S's injuries from training the throw 3A plus Aliona's illnesses kept them from being more consistent on the other elements. So going for the most difficult is not always the best strategy, especially when one's time is limited, and health should come first...
 
Hi,
I am new here and just wanted to say that I enjoy reading this thread very much and constantly checking for updates - I am a big recent fan of V/T.

Ahahaha, love it! And hopefully everyone will continue to post info, so I can read about it! :)
 
Party hard with Dexter :laugh: poor dog. Add me to the list of those who blushed.

An add to poor dog. Did you ever watch their 'snow game' that they played with him. I felt somewhat sorry cause they threw him into a massive pile of snow and Dexter had to shovel his way out :cry:
