Re: New Partnership
This has been rumoured for a while but nothing was officially announced until after Lubov finished her contract on "Crystal". I'm looking forward to seeing them together on the ice

Re: New Partnership
My goodness! I kept thinking I needed a longer time to watch Lubov skate, but I never imagined this particular partnership! I hope things work out well for them.
I have to say I'm a bit concerned with their coaching team. I don't see either of these skaters connecting with Julie Marcotte choreography (which is bound to happen), and I hope they keep other outside influences involved for style and line. The Gauthier/Marcotte school is definitely not renowned for artistry.......

That's very interesting Kevin. It will be interesting to see what happens.

Re: New Partnership
A Radio-Canada documentary (mainly in French) about Charlie, his search for a new partner and the early training of the new team: https://ici.radio-canada.ca/sports/podi ... cumentaire
This is geo-blocked outside Canada, I believe, but there is a YouTube alternative: https://youtu.be/QIiYJTKvLPA
They have a "press day" scheduled for the beginning of next week so there should be lots of news coming out after that.
I'm looking forward to seeing more!

Re: New Partnership
Photos from Lubov & Charlie's first performance together, apparently at a local show in St-Pascal, QC are on her Instragram & Facebook pages.

Re: New Partnership
Gorgeous cinematography in this piece. I wish I could understand all of what they are saying, but from the footage in there, it does look like this could be a very formidable partnership!

Re: New Partnership
Some photos from their press day today are below. There are French stories posted online but I know of at least one English interview coming soon.

Re: New Partnership
Thanks for all the info. Elizabeth and Kevin. They look great! It seems that they match each other better in body type as well...look more uniform somehow.

Re: New Partnership
Thanks for the translation Elizabeth. Now I'm excited about this team. A Skate Canada in Kelowna assignment?. Let's hope.

Re: New Partnership
It's not a translation, Judy - this one was actually written in English. There were several written in French.
I wouldn't be surprised that they would be assigned to Kelowna by Skate Canada.

Re: New Partnership
After withdrawing from the Minto Summer Skate, they made their debut at the Quebec Summer Championships earlier today. Here is their SP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_13PxyA ... e=youtu.be

Re: New Partnership
Hmmm.... I have been away and just got home and watched this. I want to be excited about this team, I really do. I was surprised how sloppy the basic pairs elements were (twist, throw, lift, spin). Both individual skaters have exquisite posture and line. Lubov's triple toe was, I think, the best one I've ever seen her do. What I am missing is the chemistry that was so apparent between she & Dylan, even at this same point in their partnership. I know it's still very early, but when I see how off-balance the simple overhead lift was, I am concerned. It does not seem like a natural fit to me. This one looks like work, and I hope they can find their groove. If they can bring their individual strengths together in the pairs elements, I think they have potential....but my gut says this will take a longer time to gel than even Moore-Towers/Marinaro have.

Re: New Partnership
I think this shows promise. Their synchronicity, and lines... edges, all look good. Not perfect, but for a newly assembled Pair Team, they look good.
