If this situation is real, it could become hard for her to even stand on the podium, with a medal of any color. The JSF needs to do something to save her career.

So if that was indeed the logic behind that bizarre choice...

OH NO. This is horrible. Poor Mao I knew this part-time coaching thing with Tatiana was silly. She doesn't even seem to be fully committed to her like she was with Yagudin, Kulik. Why won't the JSF do something about this? And I agree with icealisa, some part of me thinks that Mao is also too stubborn to do anything about this. Being a Mao-fan this is frustrating. She needs a US coach. Frank Carroll would be excellent! Maybe when...

Oh, my... Yes, this has been discussed extensively and I'm afraid at how this thread will turn out. It won't end well.

I'm really hoping both teams stay on; I love them and their rivalry could be the stuff of legends, literally. They...

Yes Isabelle has great taste in dresses finding her inspiration from Marie-France Dubreuil's "Somewhere in Time" and "At Last" dresses. I am glad to see a thread appreciating and DelShoes and their GGITS FD. I have the GPF version on tape and it's still a beautiful FD. I agree it's a shame that icedance is treated differently by the judges than the other three disciplines. GGITS would have...
