Totmianina/Marinin and Obertas/Slavnov chose the same music Tamara Moskvina, a very experienced coach ambitious to win the fifth Olympic gold with a young pair Yulia Obertas and Sergey Slavnov, has chosen for their short program Georgy Sviridov’s “Snowstorm”, a melody which is extremely popular among skaters. However two times Worlds Champions Tatiana Totmianina and Maxim Marinin, who are now training in the US, are rehearsing the program to the same music. Of course, all participants of the Olympics may skate to the same tune, rules do not prohibit it. Moskvina is seriously hesitating now: lyrical “Snowstorm” will look much more winsome when presented by two times World Champions than by Yulia and Sergey who prefer character routines. |
