Yeah that is interesting to wonder. Will they even be respected as Russian #1 at this event or will the horrid Bobrova & Sloppov go back to being #1 immediately now.

It says something that I'm much more invested in the breakup of this team than I am with the breakup ("conscious uncoupling") of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin.
I've seen this team progress and at Sochi thought "this is going to be THE dominant team for the next quad, they will rule like Grishuk & Platov to 2018". And then ... too much to hope for.

Imagine how wide open the world title will be for teams the next few years. No D&W, no V&M, no P&B, and now no I&K. It will truly be a free for all with 3, 4, or 5 teams thinking they can win, and others who probably cant win thinking they can medal. While I would be dissapointed with the I&K split, I admit I love that aspect that will come of it (the wide open competition in the coming years).
... and somewhere, Bobrova, Soloviev and Zhulin all just unclenched their jaws ...
If I could wave a magic wand and create the top 3 for the next quad, I would choose W/P, C/L and the Spaniards. But that's just me.

If true then it's total madness. She is the most amazing female Ice Dancer in years apart from Tessa.

That's horrible, horrible news. What the hell are they thinking? Why?
And who needs soap operas, when you have figure skating?

If that "floats your boat" then that's fine with me
I don't mind much about who is better than who because in ice dance it's 2 people game, it's not only her who makes the team. But seriously, if she chose to become Mrs.Morozombine no.4, then I will be very disappointed. A big sigh.
Elena wants to get married? At the age of...18? How old is she? No offense but Could russian fans explain to me why do you start your family at such a young age? Slutskaya got married when she was 20, didn't she? Not mention Plush... I don't get it. Another "cultural thing"? Don't be mad at me, I am just curious. And what is wrong with Morozov? Does he have to sleep with every girl he trains?
You have such men singles skaters as oda and Weiss too.

She will soon be 20. I think it is worth remembering that to my knowledge this marriage thing is just speculation. If anyone has a link to anything resembling a credible source saying this, correct me.
In Russia, they do get married somewhat earlier than in the USA/Canada (making an assumption that that is where you are from) but not ridiculously so- in Russia the average age of a woman at first marriage is 23 or 24. vs around 27 in USA and 29 in Canada. Of courser this may vary by region and religious background in all countries- in southern USA the average age of marriage is lower, for example.
In all these places though some people do get married very young. And sometimes it works. And sometimes it doesn't. And sometimes it works for a good long time but not forever. In any case it's a personal choice and really in an ultimate sense none of anyone's business but the person choosing to get married.
It is unclear to me in any case, if she is getting married to Mozo, why she couldn't continue on as she is, skating with him as her coach.
Stolbova has something to say about that.
