  • There is just something in the way the Russians do pairs skating. It is just immaculate. Their technique, their artistry. For 40 years the Russians owned Pairs skating. I really hope they make a comeback.

  • @jjh2456 They are in the middle of a comeback, the formation of the new team after the 2010 season of Tatiana Volosozhar & Maxim Trankov have been blowing the competition away this season. They may just beat the Germans for the Gold at Worlds this year. China, without Shen & Zhao and Qing & Pang, are now at a down point as the Zhangs have peaked back in 2006 and never made that final step up to be a great pair, and the others are still developing. Russia should win 2 medals at Worlds

  • Once in a lifetime you'll see a pair team like this.

  • @208327650 Weir is not a disgrace. There's nothing wrong with Johnny just wanting to be himself. What's a disgrace was Skate Canada and the Canadian Olympic Committee demanding that the Canadian male skaters butch up their routines in order to draw in a larger audience. Weir does that by being himself already. Had other skaters done this with themselves in the past, this would not be a topic of discussion today at all. Weir's a pioneer for generations to come.
