You might be right. I just feel sorry for Fedor, I could see, he was blaming himself, but Ksenia made mistake in the first throw. She's having a lot of stick about it on russian forums, especially sports.ru Somebody said, that she needs to take a masterclass from Tanya. Maxim made a lot of mistakes in LP in Grand Priex Final 2012 in Sochi, but Tanya supported him and I remember her sayng to him, while they were waiting for their marks, that everything would be OK and they would get though, that's what I call a real partnership!
Well first of all, Tanya and Max maintain a close relationship off the ice which obviously helps them to control their emotions and care more for each other. Having said that, I do not think both couples should be compared. Each pair has its own dynamic and way of making things work for them.
Plus I don't think Ksenia would have reacted like that if it wasn't for their 2 previous performances in GPF and Nationals. They both so wanted to deliver a clean skate that it was a shock for them. I feel like there's been a lot of pressure on them after the Olympics much like Lipnitskaya.
and chloevclem - I am not so sure that V/T will definitely win next year. After today, anything can happen...
