Like a soap opera, but with more sequins
Jul. 28th, 2004 06:05 pmRumor has it (at least at SkateFans by way of Figure Skating Universe) that Peter Tchernyshev has found a new partner. Guess who it is. Go on, guess.
Give up?
He's (again, according to fairly substantial rumor but not technically confirmed yet) skating with Shae-Lynn Bourne.
I cannot tell you how amused I am by this. It's like...it's just...I mean, he's all Russian and intense and so! passionate! and! dramatik!, while she was moonwalking on skates to a Michael Jackson medly at the last Olympics. I mean, y'know. It's like Hello Kitty goes to the Bolshoi.
Not to mention that it crushes all my dreams for Chicago on Ice, staring Shae-Lynn as Roxie and Marina Anissina as Velma. Although Marina's already back skating with Gwendal, at least in Europe and Japan (and with any luck, they might get included on COI next year), so I guess that wasn't really feasible. Woulda been fun, though.
In other skating news, there's a campaign on to get Tanith Belbin expedited citizenship so that a US dance team has a chance of placing in the top ten at the 2006 Olympics. Especially as Belbin and Agosto train in Detroit, I'm curious as to where Punsalan and Swallow are this time around... [/allusion that even
spockette probably won't get]
I watch so little of this sport anymore, but it can still be entirely too funny.
