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.
