I'll have to go read that interview with Masha &
Lesha. Sigh, I had hoped a bit that they might bring
back Circus Princess myself, but I guess it's best to
not change programs in the middle of the season, even
if it is to return to a familiar one. Maybe they
think that the judges would ding them on their PCS for
using an old program?
I just hope that P & T can get *some* medal at the
Olys this year. Especially considering I thought they
were totally screwed out of a medal in 2002!
And now, Arthur, I must ask why you are so convinced
that Drobiazko & Vanagas will bomb at Euros? Do you
have some insider info? Are you assuming, since they
have been away from competition for so long? Or do
you just generally hate them? ;o) I always thought D
& V were enjoyable to watch, but very overrated by
many fans.

Hi, Jennine,
My reason for wanting a return to Circus Princess was so the people who only watch figure skating at Oly time could see P/T at their best. I`m proud to be a P/T fan , but would be even prouder if they were to use CP while the whole world was watching.
I have no insider info about D/V and have no particular personal dislike for D/V as people.
It`s just that I`ve always felt that Drobiazko is incapable of intricate close footwork and their programs are designed to disguise this fact.
Funny thing, they once did a program I enjoyed, a Charleston OD, something from Chicago, a vocal, but unfortunately the vocalist was terrible,(might have been Bebe Neuwirth) and I was never able to watch that program again. My poor ears.
Bye, bye,
Arthur
