Jonathan and Katia, who compete for Russia, are strong contenders for the Jr. Worlds dance title. They recently gave an interivew to ice-dance.com. Because Jonathan grew up in Australia, his English is excellent. I enjoyed the interview very much, and hope you do too.

Apparently Jonathan's parents met on the Torvill & Dean tour. And Shpilband was also with the T&D tour, as were Svinin & Zhuk, and Garanina, so many of the current seniors have coaches who were involved in T&D's tours.
