Here is an ice level view of their skate.
There is plenty of time for I&Z to show themselves to the international judges and the world. I'm sure that the people from the Russian federation have seen them and they've got their feedback. There is no need to play Zueva's game at this moment at all. They should play their own game, and I really hope that will be a game called great skating. If they can do that rest assured that the Rus Federation will do all the talking with the judges.
I think this is how they are going to play it. Since it has been said they are only training lifts off the ice, I have to say its smart. I feel like they are taking the time to get their basics together and that is really important. From the ground up their coach is going to make sure they are a team and not rush to show them off as I feel Marina did in this case.
Sinitsina / Katsalapov are beautiful couple, one of the most attractive in Ice Dance history
hopefully their technical goods can be as impressive, looking forward what Marina can do
Yup, I only expect the fastest team in the world, not the most attractive. At this rate I am afraid they couldn't be the fastest even in 10 years latter.Sinitsina / Katsalapov are beautiful couple, one of the most attractive in Ice Dance history

I would rather root for B/S, they surely will stay on the 1st place of Russian National for longer.
By your standard this stunning Ekaterina Bobrova surely gives your Victoria a long long way to run for: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FdXl4sI3H...SwKu2FCNpmU/s1600/Ekaterina+Bobrova_hot03.JPGits is nature to be threatened by beauty

Stepanova/Bukin is in huge trouble. Their number 4th russian dance team status could be threatened by Sinitsina/Katsalapov

The programs was not horrible by any means and S/K skate pretty good together. I do feel that Marina is looking to make them her next V/M and that might not be the style that works for them. Looking at S/K this early I feel that they are 2 Ice Dancers that are skating on the same ice, not so much together yet as it's only been a month. On this forum posters here have identified many problem areas in their skating and I am sure Marina is well aware of them. She should have waited to correct these issues before she presented them. For all of her talk she left me disappointed.
Regarding I/Z and how they presented themselves with their former partners, I feel like they could be our modern day Gritchuk and Platov. I wouldn't want them to rush that.
:agree:
Some videos of training and things like these are fine, and I think they will come, but to perform in a show now it's stupid, IMO.
No need for them to do it now.
Then I was really surprised with propaganda of one of the commentators (he comments even Russian Nationals I think) Alexei Vasiliev started to talk about a couple….let me translate his words about S&K as much as I can: “They are a current Russian couple, a classical couple…we didn‘t have such couple in Ice Dance for a very long time. Maybe in times of Navka & Kostomarov, who brought such image. Then Russian duets were a little bit different. I think that Marina Zueva makes turn them into the best world couple. They have everything for it. They look beautiful, they are young, they can live two – three Olympic cycles. I like them. They are cultured skaters. They skate in modern way. They were expressive, maybe they were chained a little bit, because it is the first performance. But there was seen a monumental potencial.“
So B/S, the current Russian Champ, is not the Russian couple, huh? I am sure someone paid them a lot to praise S/K. But seriously this presentation is not enough. Sorry Zueva, I am still waiting for the fastest team.Why are the commentators so biased? To claim that S/K are like "current Russian couple" "classical couple" is very unfair. It sounds like somebody paid this guy to praise them. So does that mean Russia was devoid of a "classical couple" for all this time?? What a load of bull! :scowl:
S/K can keep on looking in to each others eyes, they sound extremely self-centered from each interview they keep on giving. Very off-putting!
