alexandralI love the Canadian ice dancing couple , they are so lovely and tasteful and awesome. Congratulations to Virtue and Moir!!! They are also very very young which means we will be able to see more of them. And they are trained by Marina Zoueva!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I am kind of disappointed with Russian figure skaters this year. What is going on? I don't watch this sport for about 12 years (they don't show it in the UK), and what? :D Everything seem to have changed in 12 years - there is not a good figure skater in sight. Plushenko is a tosser, Kavaguti/Smirnov are dead boring, Mukhortova/Trankov are beautiful but seem to be falling all over the place, and Domnina/Shabalin will be remembered by their worst Original dance of all times.
Among Russian figure skaters I only liked Artem Borodulin (for the pretty) and ice-dancers Jana Khokhlova and Sergei Novitski. Jana and Sergei had a lovely Original dance, one of the very few authentic folk dances. I was most annoyed by the UK commentators during Jana and Sergey's original dance for going on and on about how they couldn't understand what the Russian song was about . Guys - this is a folk song which is very suitable for a folk dance. If you don't understand Russian , this must be your problem!!! ** end of rant ** And I really liked Jana and Sergei's interpretation of the Fire-Bird folk story in the Free dance:
My love to Jana and Sergei!!!
