So, what makes you like them? ;D

well everything ;D They are a very good looking couple, they have a great skating style, especially he is a brilliant skater (they always remind me of Ballet dancer) and I always like their choice of music. Few of my favourite programmes were the FD at 2000 , the "sunrise at Alcatraz"-programme and of course their absolutly great "Pirates of the Caribbeans"-programme. they also seems to be very decent and not arrogant etc. which makes some so sympathic

I'm in skating for a short time, but still it seems to me they are kinda underestimated....not recongnized enough by the judges. Would you agree? Also, could you please post their Alcatraz and PotC programs? When you have time?

PotC rocks! I have it on tape lol, it always makes good mood to me! (If I'm correct they did a show when MG took apart too, it was sth like Mysteria... am I right? Does anyone know about it more?)
Povilas as a single skater? Donno... I just read that he was looking for a partner (looooooooong time ago in his 10s lol), went to Russia and finally found Margarita, who didn't even want to skate with him at the begining lol. Povilas fell in love with her immediately lol

It's from Rita&Povilas's site: Rita on Povilas and the begining: " After our first trainee i understood that i would not dance with Povilas. I was used to the fact that sportsmen take up training much earlier and they know what is choreography, some of them even attend practical trainings of ballet on ice. After having danced in singles Povilas was green in ice dancing and i didn't like him, but as soon as i heard his first phrase: "Let the lady decide if i'm suited for her."- and I changed my opinion when coaches were choosing me a partner." And tratata!: Hemade good delicision to change to ice dancing... look at this quote (from the same site): "Krisztina Regoczy, world ice dance champion in 1980, has gone as far as saying that Povilas is the best male dancer to appear on the scene since Christopher Dean." Everybody knows everybody lol

And you're a good detective, see: "He took to single skating, becoming National Champion six times before making the switch to dance when he joined the Tatiana Tarasova school and later partnered Rita."

Yeah! And his technique is very very good indeed! Never makes any trouble! (in general the female skater is the better in the technical stuffs, but not with them!) And what I like more is that in the interviews what were took with them are very friendly, they show that Rita&Povilas are good ppl in off-ice life too (remember the interview what Gwendal did with them during the olys in Turin!!!)
