Russian coach Elena Tchaikovskaia admitted that she remained upset for the second place of Yuko Kavaguti/Alexander Smirnov at the European Championships in Bern and expressed the opinion that the young Russian pairs should find their unique face. “I am disappointed that with such a failure of Savchenko/Szolkowy we still stayed in second place. Nevertheless, even with such errors they are the winners. Because they have a fantastic programs, unusual images, great elements, an amazing attitude. Aliona’s smile, her movements, inspiration - all this are just wonderful.
I like Kavaguti/Smirnov but they should not skate their programs in so gloomy style. Simple, nice skating should not pretend for the Olympic medals. You can teach technique, but we must not forget that need to create the unique face of a pair“- quoted Tchaikovskaia the Moskovsky Komsomolets.

Yuko almost always has a smile on her face; they are the cutest pair. I'm not sure where you see gloomy. It's Clair de Lune not some frenetic piece of techno pink panther music. She also dies at the end of the program, I'm not sure you have a clue....
Thanks for the comment. There are different opinions. Also, it's not my vision - it's Russian coach's.
