Did anybody watch the ice dancing last night?
I found it very interesting that the 2 top teams (not including the russians) are coached by the same people. Yet one team is american and one team is canadian. I think the coaches are russian.
I was listening to the story and found it very odd. I mean obviously much of the canadian short track speed skaters (for example) train together. But they are a team and skate for the same country.
I found it odd enough that canadian lori nichols choreographed both men's winner (american) routine, and canadian patrick chan. I saw an interview where she said it was like her children, she loved them all the same. So she was able to cheer for both men.
But last night they had the ice dance coaches wear USA clothes while sitting with the American ice dance team. And then switch to canadian scarves and stuff when the canadian team got their scores.
These two teams are competitive with each other. I'm not even sure which country they train in. And i guess these coaches must be great. I'm curious if the teams are friends, rivals or what.
