Mihai Brestyan was up coaching Talia Chiarelli for one day at the Canadian Championships.
I heard he was not impressed with Canadian judging, finding the scores of the top routines too low relative to the rest. And relative to international judging.

She finished 6th AA (52.375) affiliated with Bluewater, ONT.
Talia Chiarelli was born and raised in Ottawa (1995). Her mother is Alicia Brancato, daughter of former Ottawa Rough Riders football coach George Brancato.
Talia’s father is Peter Chiarelli, GM of the Boston Bruins who are currently in the NHL Stanley Cup Finals.
She’s in the mix of gymnasts who might qualify to Worlds 2011. Like her more famous Brestyan’s teammates, she’s strong on all apparatus … except Bars.
Bluewater trained down at Brestyan’s recently. The conditioning is tough.

Why don’t they hire a bars guru?
Is this really a tendancy or just more Gymternent ninnies trying to set up a meme?
You are not the first to ask that.
Nor the first to ask it of Romania.
Where would a program find a good bars coach is the real question?
Run a classified ad. Basically, recruit one from another club.
Talia’s bars.

I wonder how much training up Mihai does for bars.
Well that’s actually a pretty good routine when you compare it to Canadian routines; it blends in with the rest from what I’ve seen of our junior and senior elites with the exception of a few.
Thanks Mr Chiarelli. I love you:)
