Thanks Arawen and everyone else for the cute pics! And orangella96, you just about killed me with the Max with purse pic! :rofl:

They compliment each other and met at the right time to become a pair.About the chemistry she gave analogy with the Canadian team (which one?). It comes from within, they skate for each other, it comes from the heart, it is sincere and that is what is called chemistry between them

She's talking about the ice dancers Virtue & Moir. In my next post I'll quote some interviews where she talks about them more.

Thanks for the translation, eli60056! Can one of our Russian speakers please translate this??

It seems like they actually interview Sasha (Max's girlfriend) at the end!! :eek:

GoogleTranslate is telling me that Max climbed up the drain pipe to Sasha's room..??? :laugh:

The pic is pretty awesome too.

As others said, I hope that Stas and Sasha have found other people, because it seems like they took the break-ups pretty well. Judging from this interview (where Max says that Sasha knew it was his dream to skate with Tanya) and other ones, I'm guessing that both Sasha and Stas were really happy to see Max and Tanya get along well and skate so successfully...especially since Max was so unhappy with Masha/Oleg, and Stas surely knew that Tanya deserved a better partner. Hopefully they loved them enough to let them go and be happy with someone else... :yes:

This is backtracking a bit, but I needed to reply to this!

I really admire her a lot, because she's strong and soft at the same time as you guys said, but also is such a cheerful and funny person. I will say it again, Maxim hit the jackpot with her. Well, the vice versa is also true, she was also lucky to get someone like Max, an amazing person.

And Max totally knows he hit the jackpot! :yes: I just love that he always gushes about how great Tanya is and brags about Tanya choosing him. :love:

For example, from TAHbKA’s translation on FSUniverse:
http://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/sho...translations&p=3009982&viewfull=1#post3009982

NM: Maksim, did you agree immediately to pair with Tatiana?
MT: It was decided before the Olympics in Vancouver that Tanya will continue skating. Stas would become her coach and would look for a partner for her. When their pair split thousands of hands were reaching for her. About 75% male partners from the whole world wanted to skate with her. I was lucky - she chose me. Stas asked me what are my plans after the Olympics. I was thinking then of retiring. I replied : If I should go on skating - it's only with Tanya.

http://mosfigurist.ru/?p=741
These quotes are from GoogleTranslate with my best-guess edits, so the Russian speakers might want to check them…

Maxim: I always say that I have already won the major victory in my life because Tatiana, who I dreamed about for a long time, agreed to skate with me. So I caught the bird-Volosozhar [firebird!], and all I wanted--I've already won. Now I want to win for her what she wants.

Maxim: We do not have a leader in the pair; there is no one more important that someone, because everyone knows what they want and what they need to do….But when someone says that Tatiana Volosozhar is the best partner in the world, that she is the star, then I do not feel hurt. First, she is MY star, and secondly, this is true, she is the best. I'll tell everyone about it.

(Though we all know that Tanya is really the leader—she just is so awesome at it that Max doesn’t even realize it!

)

Tanya is much more reserved than Max, and she doesn’t gush in the same way, but her happy smiles and the way she looks at Max says it all! :love:

But here are some of really sweet quotes.

From right after 2011 Worlds:
http://ptichkafs.livejournal.com/52107.html

Q: Tanya, what do you think a perfect partner should be like?
A: He should be like Maxim. It’s hard to put into words, but I now feel completely comfortable on ice. I guess there is a reason it took us so many years to get here.

And here—thanks to TAHbKA’s translation of their blog.

http://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/sho...g-translates&p=3169706&viewfull=1#post3169706

Tanya: Maksim and I are trying to create the same [magical] effect [as Virture/Moir]. We are trying to skate first of all for each other. We look each other in the eyes before the skate and try to understand the partner's mood. During the skate we have a lot of moments when we catch each other's eyes and it gives us strength and inspiration. One can't really describe it, it's a feeling. I think we finally found each other as partners. I feel very comfortable with Maksim.

Tanya can’t quite describe it because it’s TRUE LOVE!! :yes:

Batsuchan · Apr 10, 2014

Sorry for the consecutive super-long posts, everyone! Last one from me today! :slink:

I was looking at the lineup for All that Skate 2014, and I think it's hilarious that Max & Tanya's photo is lovey-dovey, and S/S's photo is really not...(scroll to the bottom)
http://allthatskate.com/2013Skate/skaters/all_new.php
I just love when they do those parallel spread eagles with Tanya's arms around Max's neck!
The Korean organizers must be V&T shippers just like us! :yes: :laugh:

Cute video moment of the day!
Check out 6:28 in this video, from the kiss&cry after their 2013 Worlds SP...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eECreH6topg

Max makes Tanya blow out his gun [and somehow that sounds dirty, but it's really not! :laugh:

], and the flirty look that she gives him and the way they both grin is soooo cute! :love:

If that link doesn't work, try 6:13 here:

O God seriously guys I need to stop sleeping :laugh:

I miss so much during that hours and you guys really post a lot.

I think that maybe if they'd just say again that they're together they would just stop asking that. :biggrin:

But to come back to their PR thong someone mentioned....
Realized that it is impossible for her to be in another relationship 'cause I really really doubt a guy accepting his gf kissing someone else ^^
So all evidence given and the case is closed :yes:

Arawen · Apr 11, 2014

Do we really need to have this discussion again? :laugh:

The fact that they never fight off the ice doesn't surprise me at all I was also wondering about when the photo was taken of Max (in Tanya's clothes, her purse?) and Stas. I'm guessing 2010? Funniest thing I've seen all day

It doesn't surprise me either. Can you imagine Maxim arguing with his "sun"? I can't. And Tanya is way too happy and smiley all the time to fight with anyone, I assume. The photo is from may-june 2010, there are more funny pics of Maxim and Stas.

eli60056 thank you so much for the translation! I like how Tatiana is speaking and how the interviewer asks her if they're together and she gives a different answer :laugh:

Must be extremely annoying for them. There was that OFFICIAL documentary, there's instagram, the closing ceremony kiss and so on, what does the media want more? I bet we will never hear something from their mouths as long as they'll skate in competitions.
In this quote, she's talking about their skating partnership, right?

As for them she thinks they will remain a pair and between them will always be good relations.

Batsuchan you find the best quotes/interviews! Thank you so much! Reading them all the bottom line is that both of them believe the other one is the perfect partner and got very lucky when they paired up, especially Maxim.

(Though we all know that Tanya is really the leader—she just is so awesome at it that Max doesn’t even realize it! )

totally agree.

As for the Sasha and Stas talks, I agree with everyone, they seem like decent people who accepted well the end of their relationships. Hopefully they found/will find their other half.

Arawen · Apr 11, 2014

I know they said in some interview that if they were left in a deserted island and had to choose who to bring, they would bring each other. Where/when was that from?

orangella96 · Apr 11, 2014

@Arawen I think that was sometime in mid 2011 after she had broken-up with Stas already.

Tanya posted a picture of herself and Dexter and last night Max posted a video of Fedor.
It's like they don't post pictures with eachother on purpose

(Hope they didn't have a fight or something, impossible I know but still)

I think it's more probable that they read our forum and wanna torture us, kidding, kidding. Tanya even posted some laughing smilies on Max's video last night, they were probably all out in that bar they always go to in Moscow. And they give 'like' to romantic photos of them all day long on Instagram.

Tanya looks happy in the photo and I think she must be in the back of the car, with Max driving.

:biggrin:

They're off to Chechov where they'll perform tonight. It's not far from Moscow. I was waiting for so so so long for pics from them and started thinking that some people wrote so many "not nice" comments to Tanya for her hairstyle so that kept her from posting.

Anyway everytime now when I see a pomeranian I start smiling, thinking of Dexter and T&M. It's gone too far...

ntk87 · Apr 11, 2014

Hello everybody! It's true that these days are being very quiet. I hope everything is going allright and soon we could see new pics our couple together and happy

annafer · Apr 11, 2014

They went with Maxim's car today, this girl parked at the Ice Palace next to his car:
http://instagram.com/p/mpydNXNDjc/

skatefan02 found a short documentary (about 5 min long) about Tanya and Max that aired on a Russian TV station before their short program at the Olympics. The file is huge being 1080i and it's hard to crop it, so I filmed it with my phone but it's still very good quality. I started to upload it on vimeo but I don't know if it will work until I have to leave home, so tonight or tomorrow morning will show up at this link:
https://vimeo.com/m/91716771

It's in Russian of course, they have an interview (probably from last summer) of Tanya and Max in a park and also with Nina Mozer and their choreographer. So maybe someone can make a resume for us or tell us if they say something interesting.

orangella96 · Apr 11, 2014

First, she is MY star, and secondly, this is true, she is the best. I'll tell everyone about it.

That's just sooooo sweet :love:

The date it was posted would really fit into the time when they (assumingly) got together.

Tanya can’t quite describe it because it’s TRUE LOVE!!

That was so early on and that really shows that there was that instant connection and chemistry they all describe now.

I was looking at the lineup for All that Skate 2014, and I think it's hilarious that Max & Tanya's photo is lovey-dovey, and S/S's photo is really not...

That's always like that. I think S/S really want to look like they're very comfortable and (in a friends way) intimate with eachother.
Unfortunately it looks forced most of the time and does not give away the desired effect. That's one of the resons their competitive marks aside from the technical score were never as high as Tanya's and Maxim's.

I just love when they do those parallel spread eagles with Tanya's arms around Max's neck!

Me too. They always look so calm and comfortable when they skate like that. :love:

The Korean organizers must be V&T shippers just like us!

They can join the club alongside the Eurosport commentators :laugh:

Loving Max's license plate on his windscreen :laugh:

And I found these really old photos of them : http://iogannsb.livejournal.com/1875455.html
I like the ones of them in front of the piano and the one where Max wraps Tanya in his sweater :biggrin:

Note the fact that that was the shooting which they both didn't want to look like it was a love story :laugh:

Mission completed.......NOT :rofl:

Google translate: The show is over! Tired and happy, back home! Thank you for an original gift

Can anyone see what it is?

Probably the T and M pillows Dexter is sleeping in front of :biggrin:

Arawen · Apr 11, 2014

Do we actually hear Maxim doing some sexy sighs at 3:13, 3:16 and 3:20 in this video or am I just hearing things :laugh:

I like the picture where Tati has a crazy look on her face when Max is closing the piano lid, and the one where Max looks like he is about to bite her neck!
