#sinitsinakatsalapov
“I always feel so bad for Stepanova/Bukin, in 6 years of seniors (including nationals), they have only won 5 times, 3 of which were just the challenger series wins. They are way more interesting than Sinitsina/Katsalapov imo. Anyways, mad props to them for continuing to skate. They have been wronged for so long.”
“I Don’t understand why Russia is pushing Sinitsina/Katsalapov instead of Stepanova/Bukin. S/B’s programs are more memorable compared to just blurs of ‘Barbie & Ken’ from S/K. As we know, TAT is behind S/B, and since S/K are always ahead of them, that just reveals how little of power TAT actually has in Russia, and how much Zhulin has way more power than we think (going a bit too far probably, but Zhulin’s ex-wife IS the current wife to the press secretary of Putin. Does that influence things? Maybe.).”
“How Sinitsina/Katsalapov won Euros is still beyond me, while Papadakis/Cizeron weren’t perfect at all there, they still should have won, but not by that large margin that they usually do, obviously. If this happens in Beijing, and they make S/K somehow win, that is the end of watching ice dance for me, forever.”
