That's the pair that won in Hungary?!Originally Posted by SamuraiKike
They just won the First Junior Grand Prix event in Hungary and by a landslide.. Looks like they are gonna repeat it here. so Right now they are the Shibutani's main rivals for gold at the Final..Maybe the new team of Pushkash/Guerreriro could contend also but they haven't debuted yet.
There are videos of all their programs at fsvids.net.. They are indeed really really good.
xD
I didn't recognize their names!
Thank you!
All I know:
They have been skating together for one year
Alexander Zhulin is their coach and the choreographer
They placed fourth at last year Russian Jr Nationals
Won the Russian Cup Final among juniors

Men's SP is the first event tomorrow (Friday).
Go Narumi and Mervin!
Ouch.. poor Reitmayerova.. what happened to her?? 2 falls!! I really like her and I think she has some future but is not a good season start at all for someone who's going to Vancouver ....
Really glad to hear about Takahashi/Tran! I guess they managed to clean up all the little kinks (a.k.a. random falls) in their program here. I enjoyed their JGPLP skate, so I am excited to see an improved version of them.
And wow! Kanako! Also very excited to see her skate. I remeber just last year when it was Yukiko instead of her who was getting all the attention ...
I guess it's time to up the ante on the Shib fandom!!!!
Haha, really...all the best for Elena and Nikita, though.
Yay for Elena and Nikita. I love them
Their basics and speed and lines are amazing.
I hope to find videos of ladies, it's a really interesting field out there!!!
Kanako Murkami is someone I really like. She has really great expression and is a good performer. IF she can rotate and land her jumps I can see her being huge on the Junior Circuit this year winning everything, and making a big splash next year in Seniors.
Anyone knows something about Gordei GORSHKOV? I saw him skating when he was a young boy, 3-4 years ago . To me he seemed very talented and promising. His ISU bio says he didn't compete last season. Why?
He was third on Winter European Youth Olympic festival and also took part in some inside Russian competitions.
