I don't think we have to take the six months Max said too literally. I think he was just saying that to make the point that he did not break up with Sasha because of Tanya, and that there was no cheating involved. That answer was probably already good enough to satisfy 99% of their fans. Not that many people will actually bother to break down their relationship into that much detail. And I always keep thinking to myself how Tanya and Max might react if they ever came across this thread... :biggrin:

That's just it. He didn't say "six months precisely"... In the documentary, he said literally "for about half a year".

SallyTeoh they look adorable in that video and with so many kids around them.

It's one of the stages of Cup of Russia, before the Russian Nationals. I didn't see any video from that event.

Here is a video of that event-both Max and Tania and Maria and Blanchard (or whatever his name is) were there. Max and Tania finished first, Maria and partner-second.

It must have been pretty awkward for the couples to congratulate each other on the podium :) That would be an interesting video to find.

It seems like they were interviewed today (or some time this week). LOVING Tanya's red pants. She looks so beautiful and happy here. :p

She looks so pretty there :)
And they way he looks at her again :love:

@annafer Well I think the only thing we can safely say is that they were together at TEB 2011 which was in November :)
But yes their trip to Italy might have been a try to rekindle theor relationship. ...

@eli60056 I think it must've been awkward for Maria to congratulate Maxim and Tanya 'cause they achieved something in such a short time that she didn't in many years...

The interview will be shown on April 23 on the Russia 2 channel during the show "Живое Время. Панорама Дня." During the interview they discussed the I/K split, the scandal over Sotnikova beating Yuna Kim, what kinds of gifts they receive from fans, shared vacations, etc. Link to short article about interview with 2 more pictures: http://2.russia.tv/article/show/article_id/4810

Oooooooo!!! I like the SP!!! Tati's back-hug is the cutest!!! They really shows a lot of affection at the beginning, don't they!
Side note: I've always love back-hug! It's just shows intimacy, warmth and gentleness! Doesn't hurt that Max and Tati's height difference makes the visual even more appealing! :love:

This will be REALLY interesting. But I assume they will be neutral in their discussion and probably even defend Adelina (they are all Russians after all).

Yeah well technically Adelina didn't do anything wrong.
That's just something all the haters forget.
Oh and I hope that they'll put the interview online so that we all can see it and someone hopefully translates it :)

Yeah, I wonder what the haters think she should have done in that situation-return the medal or something?

Even Tania and Max have been in a situation where they received higher scores for imperfect skating. But other than staying on the podium looking unhappy (as they have), what else could anyone do in such a situation? And of course Tania and Max are two grown ups who are self assured and can pull their weight much more than a 17 year old teen, who was just happy she had done her job.

Haha Max and Ivan are always up to no good :p

And really looking forward to the interview tomorrow! I hope someone can translate it. But even if no one does, I wouldn't mind just staring at them for however long the video is

I think the tour was on the news today (yesterday? not sure) as well, according to http://web.stagram.com/p/704173589884459686_319249501, but I'm not sure if there's anything about Tanya/Max specifically

Some really wanted her to return it.

I agree that Max and Tanya can deal better with such situations. But with them it was rarely that they wouldn't have won even with lower scores (hope you get what I mean).
They were of course devastated but in the end didn't care what people said. Max for example that they forgot about Budapest. They won the Europeans and in the end no one cares how they won it.
Adelina on the other hand did the greatest thing in her life and everyone bashes her about it.
It will be so hard for her in the seasons to come.
If there are seasons to come.
Some speculate that she won't continue due to that scandal.
I feel really sorry for her.

It is beyond crazy to expect the sportsmen to judge if their competitors were better than them in the same competition. That is what the judges are for. A skater's job is to do his/her program. There is no obligation for him/her to go watch how their competitors have skated. So they expect her to give back a medal based on ... nothing.

I really hope they get paid some good money, because their effort is tremendous. Someone who saw the show last night said that Tanya and Max were amazing and very nice, but they looked a bit tired. I think they really need a vacation after this exhausting season. Hopefully they'll manage to go somewhere sunny before starting work again.
The Russian Federation will probably force them to go on vacation anyway ;) :laugh:

a little off topic... but i found this page from the time Tatiana skated with Peter kharchenko..:) look at her height. only 1 centimeter shorter than she is now. lool I find it funny and cute that she hasn't grown much since then, and yet Max only grew taller and taller. :biggrin:

p.s she looks like such a serious teenager. very fierce. :eek:hwell:

They won in Budapest because the elements they did right were at the highest level, it's not like they gave them huge scores, they were one of the lowest they ever had. But thanks to the great SP together with the fact that the others aren't at their level they managed to win.

I hope they'll find a way to give a good answer about the Adelina scandal and won't go too much into details. I also hope I won't hear again the interviewer asking if they're dating and at the same time them answering "we're just good friends" either, I'm kinda tired of both question and answer. But I have a feeling they'll say something like "we're friends that get along very well and that's why we go together on vacation". Leaving all this aside they both look very pretty in that interview.

OMG how crazy is Max :laugh: (in the bus pic)

Eli, thank you for the videos!

I think the buggest problem this year is the time.
In May they'll be in Seoul for All that Skate and afterwards there won't probably be much time either.
But for their sake I hope the Federation orders them to vacate somewhere nice, warm and romantic :laugh:

@annafer I don't want to hear neither that question nor the answer ever again as well.
If a reporter asks I'm just like :bang:
The question I ask myself is didn't they watch the documentary the referred and talked about so much? :unsure:

Is is even sure that Tanya and Stas went to Italy as a couple? When was it anyways I can't even remember :laugh:
I think that Maxim said that he broke up woth Sasha 6 months after Tanya and Stas to make it clear that Tamya was not the only reason for the break up.
Even though I doubt it were really 6 months between the break ups. Nebelhorn and the Ondrej Nepela Memorial were in September 2011 and I could very well imagine that they were together there already :biggrin:
All in all I think that Sasha and Max would've broken up sooner or later anyways 'cause of the mentioned problems.
And let's be honest it's a rare thing that they would've stayed together forever given the fact that they started dating at 16. Same goes for Tanya and Stas....

on FSUniverse there are those translated blogs. In the August 2011 blog Maxim said that he stayed somewhere in Italy while Tanya and Stas went to Rome alone I think I'll need to look it up. I just can't imagine taking a trip to somewhere in Italy with an ex. I'm sure they maybe did a bit of soul searching and it ended for them soon after. And I agree with you that I'm sure they would have both broken. So many couples grow apart from each other when they start dating so young. It was only a matter of time.


Edit: Excited for the interview! A translation would be awesome. And those red pants and flats look adorable on her. And agreed a vacation is in order. Maybe something to the south Pacific before they go to All That Skate.

She looks so young! I love her with blonder her hair now. It's a much softer look.
