baron-pierreIV 1700 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Hey CAF, re the chances of your German Pairs couple at the Tokyo Worlds,...after the Short Program, they are #2 - smack between the top 2 Chinese pairs!! Good luck! Break 'em Ping and Pong!! Prelim standings of Paris competition after the Short Program Szolkowy may YET be the first male skater of partial African descent to break into the medallists' Pairs circles!! And at this point in the competition, notice that the top Russian couple (currently #4 going into the Finals), the female half is a Japanese imported lady!! Here's more info on that emerging Russo-Japanese pair!! "Kawaguchi and Smirnov teamed up in spring 2006. They missed Russian Nationals and the 2007 European Champioships after she broke her ankle in a fall in practice in December. Kawaguchi competed internationally in singles for Japan before switching to pair skating. With former partner Alexander Markuntsov, she became the first pair skater from Japan to medal at an ISU Championship (silver at 2001 Junior Worlds). After her partnership with Markuntsov dissolved in 2003, she has been skating with different partners and competed with Devin Patrick at the U.S. Championships. Kawaguchi has been living and training in Russia since 2002 and now decided to represent Russia." Talk of things being turned around!! Boy, Yuko sure gets around. And not only does she switch partners as easily as she probably changes skates, as you can see, they only partnered a year ago, and she's older than the present Alexander! Can't wait for BLADES OF GLORY!! Link to post Share on other sites

baron-pierreIV 1700 Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 I guess thats not a bad result for Canada. Now, I wonder how Buttle, Dubreuil/Lauzon and Rochette are gona doe. The latest: Buttle finished in 6th; Dubreuil/Lauzon are now 2nd going into the Free Dance (altho they finished #3 behind Belbin-Agosto in the Original Dance portion). So in the Dance, the Bulgarians are #1 going into tomorrow night's Finals, Dubreuil/Lauzon second; and Belbin/Agosto #3. Link to post Share on other sites

Guardian 22 Posted April 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 I don't know about this, but it seems that Evgeni Plushenko is not happy with the overall Russian performance in the 2006-2007 season. He is reported that it was so much so that he is considering coming back into the 2007-2008 season to "help morally a depressed team." Link: CBC: Olympic Champ Evgeni Plushenko Says He's Returning To Competition This statement, within this article, says it all: "It was Russia's worst showing since 1960." Kind of harsh, isn't it?
