2013 Russian Nationals Ice Dance

M/K in third hope they remain in third place and go to euros/worlds. Their FD is better than S/Z, R/T and P/G IMO

how did M/K got 3rd ? Their height similarity alone is bothersome R/T in 5th really ? I hope S/Z will move up for bronze

I don't mind their similar height and I thought they skated very well. Anyway the margin between 3rd and 5th is small so nothing has been decided yet. I thought Elena and Nikita should be first they skated their best SD so far this season while B/S were tight and there was the twizzle error
To be honest I never thought R/T are top skaters material. They lack any kind of improvement since their debut season on the international stage IMO. They skate fast but a bit frenetic with lots of upper body movement and that's about it. And they love waltz
Both M/K and S/Z show more promise and I was kind of expecting the Russian federation would drop them

Is there a standing with technical points e pcs?

google translate is funny. M/K had the higher TES score, that's why they are third

I'm happy for M/K, they're really skating well this year and I like their new Zhulin style, I hope the placements remain this after the FD! And, yes, I/K skated well but their Polka is not very good for me, when B/S's has improved a lot!

I am thrilled for M/K! I am afraid things will go back to normal tomorrow with R/T back at 3rd and M/K at 5th, but even this intermediate result is good for M/K. I used to be a fan of Riazanova/Tkachenko, but they indeed did not show much progress, it's sad.

It was really funny to listen to Tarasova commentary - she appeared to be mad at Zhulin for not listening to her advice to change the ending of Bobrova's SD. She said she wanted the program to finish with a bang instead of a quiet ending they currently have. She also confirmed she was begging him to change the FD and he gave in, but refused to change SD. I really hope Russian fed will find a way for her to coach her own students instead of constantly interfering with others work.

She showed a lot of love for Riazanova/Tkachenko though, who changed their FD completely following her advice.

Staviski said that Zhulin will change it over the winter, probably.

Yep. And now we know why they want to do it.
