The last 3 couples used the same music! Also, surprised to see the newly crowned Youth Olympic champions with such a low score. It's very likely they'll miss the junior world team! Was there something wrong with their program? I've missed their skate
I've got to say that I wish the company that sent 3,000,000 CD's of the Blah Blah Cha Cha and the Chilly Chilly Cha Cha to Russia eternal destruction and failure in all their corporate endeavors.
Viktoria and Ruslan are too talented to be given crappy music
but then again their improvements in the future maybe limited as they are coached by Kutsarova
I will hate if she will turn them into another Bobrova/Soloviev. outdated, boring and ugly posture. :sheesh:
I thought Victoria & Ruslan already show more feeling for their music than Bobrova/Soloviev. However, I fear Kutsarova will have them skating with posture like speed skaters, parallel to the ice when skating backwards, just as B&S do and bad music choices do not help any team.
that's why after junior worlds, they should already start looking for a new coach,
Zhulin not that bad, Morozov although I dislike is better than Kutsarova, change choreographer too not the daughter of your coach do it for you, lol
maybe Tarasova will like them like I/K
I definitely think that Zhulin could do well with Sinitsina and Zhiganshin as well as Bobrova and Soloviev. I feel like Kustarova isn't helping them progress.
It certainly looks like it. I expect they were sent to YOG because they were age eligible, of course, and because they were not expected to make the Jr World team?
Even though were 2nd at the JGPF, ahead of Stepanova & Bukin?
In the US, YOG is one of those consolation prize assignments.
What is the rule about international assignments in Russia? Is there one, or is it mostly capricious?
the winners in YOG , Yanovskaia is 15 and Mozgov is 16, so they could have gone to Jr. Worlds
pity, but they still have a few more years to go into junior
also another promising ice dance junior
SD of Anastasia Skoptsova - Nikita Nazarov - 13th place overall
she is 11, he is 13 yrs.
