Cup of China 2008

Vania

Cup of China started today.

The entries in Ice dance:

Jiameimei GUO / Fei MENG CHN
Xiaoyang YU / Chen WANG CHN
Xintong HUANG / Xun ZHENG CHN
Anna ZADOROZHNIUK / Sergei VERBILLO UKR
Kaitlyn WEAVER / Andrew POJE CAN
Anna CAPPELLINI / Luca LANOTTE ITA
Alexandra ZARETSKI / Roman ZARETSKI ISR
Jana KHOKHLOVA / Sergei NOVITSKI RUS
Tanith BELBIN / Benjamin AGOSTO USA
Oksana DOMNINA / Maxim SHABALIN

I cross my fingers for Anna and Luca. I don't think they have a chance for the podium, but they're such a charismatic couple :stari:

And I prefer to see Jana and Sergey before Oksana and Maxim in the ranking Razz

We'll see...

But aren't Oksana and Maxim with Linichuk this season? :zy:

What if they're absolutely fabulous now? :zy:

I think they totally have the potential to be amaziiiiiing with GOOD choreography. :dube:

Gorshkov really did them no favours with their routines last year. Buh..

I really like Maxim. Razz

He seems like a sweetie. :zy:

I also like Yana and Sergei... zvet

Just saying... Don't worry

Hmmm

maybe... I haven't watched yet this season Yana&Sergey's programs (except the CD) - for me they were better last year (better than Oksana and Maxim) But now who knows :mdr:

- with the new coaches they may have improved ... The thing I didn't like in them today is their costumes - these feathers on Oksana's dress don't suit at the waltz, IMHO. While Anna Cappellini were looking very well, very good choice of costumes Smile

The same for Tanith.

Woow!! Really (almost) the same costume as Max's one!!! I've never seen such a thing... geek

I admit that someone copies A&M's moves and lifts, but the costumes affraid

... Don't they have imagination to create their own outfits!?

Sorry for the 2 posts in a row, I just wanted to thank to Viki for the videos zvet

I've been very busy last weekend and I had no time to search videos in the net. So, thanks for uploading the FD zvet

I haven't seen them all and I can't comment, but as for the ODs, IMHO Oksana and Maxim,s OD was almost like a compulsory Crying or Very sad

I didn't like it. The music is great, but the programme ... :blink:

It can't impress me, sorry. I think the best OD were of Tanith/Ben and Anna/Luca :dube:

I believe the Italians have the potential to become one of the best couples in a couple of seasons, maybe after Vancouver 2010, when many couples will retire.
