“A steel blade on frozen ice doesn’t create much friction, but this team makes it look like they’re floating out there, like their blades aren’t even touching the ice. The way they move across the ice with what appears to be virtually no effort.” (x)

“And what experience they’ve gained from competing here, and particularly skating in the final group here, in this original dance. They belonged! Very, very good indeed.”

“Yes, you’ve said it. That’s exactly what we all feel. They do belong in this very highest echelon of ice dance. (x)

Bonus: “Terrific! The best young ice dancers in the world, that’s for sure theses two. Two teenagers, destined for a glistering future!”

“Here’s a team that has been together for 10 years. So you take a couple of kids, you put them together at 7 and 9. Anything can happen. You’ve gotta hope that they’re gonna grow the same sizes, that things are gonna work. Well, it just so happened that they grew perfectly together. Look at the way their bodies are able to work as one. They’re a perfect match for each other.” (x)
