Dan Whiston
Dan has always been one of my favourites of the pro skaters, but is it just me, or does anyone else think he lost some of his verve and energy this last series - especially towards the last few weeks?
I know he had a arm injury, but most pros put on their "game faces" when suffering an injury.... To be honest, watching the 2 boleros in the final, all of us watching (7 of us) all agreed that Ray looked far better than Dan, and he's only a celeb. |

Ray and Maria can skate as an equal partnership (as commented by the judges). He does do lifts, but their routines are mostly dance and skating.
With Hayley and Dan, he does most of the work (including lifts) while Hayley concentrates on performing. |

Dan is nearly 40 so he's probably looking towards retirement without any serious recurring injuries. Maria is 41 (!) but there was very little prospect of someone like Ray causing her any injury, so perhaps that's way.

I can't say I noticed any different to be honest, what we have to remember is that it is a long haul for all the pros regardles of age. |
