I agree, he is the main driver of the team. Jayne said it herself. But I don't think she is any less. She never fails, always perfect. She is so calm and even. I don't think he would have had success with another skater. She understands his OCD. They do love each other too, you can tell. But she said if you get involved with your partner and breakup there goes your team and neither one wanted that. Dean's first wife was jealous of Jayne, you can see why. They just have something.

I have seen the choreography that Chris has done for other skaters and what he does that's so special is he choreographs to their strengths, but also pushes the skaters to be the best they can be. He also makes the music come alive in the choreography.

❤❤

Either it fits or not 🤷‍♀️ I admire Chris and Jayne

I think I agree.

R u kidding me, he's so critical. I'd of kicked the shit outta him on day one. Guess he never makes any mistakes!!

I have now watched the part toward the end where there are tensions when training for a new routine with very difficult moves and steps. It must be almost impossible to achieve such perfection, especially with the differences in their heights. I think Chris decides most of not all the choreography, and it must be a burden to try and explain what he sees with his minds eye so Jayne can manage moves as he needs. Equally, it is a disadvantage to Jayne that she can't see the 'video' in his mind. Added to that the natural fear he might lose his grip either through his own mistake or an error on her part. A great deal for both to cope with. Men tend to react with being cross, whilst women tend to react with tears. The tears can be of hurt feelings, frustration, or anger. However, I seem to recall she said only one of a pair can lead. Due to strength and male skeletal anatomy and muscular placement then obviously that is going to be the man. No doubt other pairs have exactly the same sort of cross words and tears. Not only in ice dancing and figure skating. Any pairs or group activity in sports and the arts. Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers were the celebrated dancing couple of their time but their choreography was nowhere near as ambitious. Ginger said he was a perfectionist who would reduce her to tears but she would become angry, and decide she would "show him!" and continue to practice until he had nothing to criticise. That's the way it often works and it wouldn't work unless one pushed and goaded, and the other refused to give up and walk away because of huuurt feelings and being embarrassed. All pairs know that if they give up on each other and lose the careers they have formed it is going to hurt a lot more, and if they don't give the absolute best performance they possibly can, if they make the least little mistake, it will be noticed and their future confidence affected because of the criticism. Quite apart from losing in front of the whole viewing public and unhappy sponsors and trainers. Etc. Many many millions of people watching any failure. On top of that all pairs have the usual trials of life. Headaches, illness and injury but they have to try and go on working without anyone noticing it, unless the injury would be made worse without rest (and not being able to work would be more stress). When family members including children are seriously injured or ill, even dying, they can't always drop everything and go to be with them. If they are seeing or are married to someone who cannot cope with the extended hours the pair have to work together, no matter how much they love the person they have to do their best to put it out of their minds and emotionally distance themselves from heartache and worry while they work. They pay an extremely high, unreasonable price in every way. If such professionals had known enough of what was to come to enable them to 'count the cost' it's a safe bet when young enough, hardly any of them would have gone on to make it their career - on the slim chance that they will win even once and with little chance they will continue for enough years to make it worthwhile trying. None knows who might come along and be better, and make them forgotten 'has beens'. They don't discover the cost to themselves and their families until the problems happens, and that is usually when they are of an age that they cannot simply stop and learn something else that is easier and takes less commitment. They have moral and legal obligations to others including sponsors, lenders, trainers,. They hey need to reach the stage where they can turn professional and at least become paid become trainers so they can start repaying what they may owe, including seamstresses and music professionals. If they don't they can be sued. It is very expensive to train to become a skater. The skates themselves aren't cheap, need sharpening and replacing. All of that in addition to the demands of the work itself - including usually unseen work practising and other behind the scenes necessities. The parents and sometimes grandparents pay from when they are young children, until if and when enough sponsorship is found when they might show enough skill. So even though parents would probably not want repaying it is still a moral obligation and a psychological stress, even if subconscious. I don't see how it would be possible to achieve gold, silver or even bronze without tensions, testiness, criticism, nervousness, tears only hoping that in the end it will all be well worth it. It's called professionalism, determination and persistence and is why some people achieve far more than most of us. It was that sort of strength of character, of not giving up too easily without REALLY trying, compromising and forming understandings that most people used to have successfully content marriages which resulted in stable, sane, intelligent enough children who went on to repeat the process. Of course not all couples succeed whether professional or married, but those who did, and the far fewer today who do make it couldn't allow themselves to develop such a sense of too much self importance, nor to form the habit of taking things to heart too much then clinging on to offences instead of letting cross words go, forgiving, mostly forgetting and continuing to try and achieve a content lifetime together. Too many people today (and it seems to mostly be women) are TOO into themselves and dwell on the slightest perceived insult to the point that no one reasonable could make a relationship work with them. Further, men and women who have that mentality flock together and reinforce each others unhelpful thinking. Worse, they judge and cause damage to other peoples relationships as if those relationships were their own. People who have never managed anything of much note self righteously judging those who have. Insanely presumptuous.

@@angr3819 Jane was just as strong, without losing her poise and self-control.

@@psalm2764 Yes, indeed. Not only them although they were and always will be the best, as they are the originals that all since came off. Other pairs too obviously have their tensions and arguments. It's only that it isn't seen that people criticise Chris. How do those moaning about them disagreeing think they would cope with all the demands and stress? They wouldn't be able to. If they could they too would be great at something, and they aren't.

@@angr3819 You are probably right but he seemed almost possessed in one clip. I agree, their footwork has remained unmatched as far as I can see. So many throws and twists in order to distract from the absence of footwork.

@@psalm2764 I would like to have seen more footwork but those twists, turns and tossing in the air aren't easy either. I guess we can't have it all.

Помню как была поражена, когда после безумных спектаклей, которыми отличалась советская школа танцев на льду, оказалось, что на льду можно именно ТАНЦЕВАТЬ практически как на паркете. На тот момент это было откровением. Столько лет прошло, сейчас катаются иначе, но они для меня до сих пор лучшие. Смотрю их ролики почти каждый день и мне всё мало
