Thanks so much for the photos and the YouTube URLs, Karenna! I go both downloaded today, and it was wonderful. That one-handed rotational lift!!!! I think I was grinning at least as hard as Alexei and Vika lol. It was so good to see her laugh with joy. Altogether it was a pleasure to watch. You know, I always appreciated Sasha Zhulin's gift for sexy choreography. He is sort of the international Bob Fosse of the Ice, and he knows how to put a lot of emotion into his programs, too. Alexei and Vika's collaboration with him is bearing fruit. So much improvement for Vika, and she was so sweet about her injury! Maybe I am imagining it, but I think that doing ice dancing, the pair experience, has been a very rich learning experience for Alexei. He always has liked broadening his horizons, but I think this experience has been particularly beneficial for him. After all, he has "overcome" again ;). He and Vika have shown growth in their performances, so much growth, that only hard work and dedication could have produced. I love YouTube for making it possible for us to see it. I am thinking of something I believe an ancient Greek philosopher said: "The sun is new every day." Lina :)
