Lena‘s behaviour in past one month is strange also. She loves quotes of different authors in her instagram page, and last months some people mentioned that she is pointing that the only man in her life is her brother, that she asks everybody to forgive her, that if a woman wants to change a life – she changes a hair, that people should forgive their friends because a God forgives the people etc. She also chose one of her black and white pictures with Nikita kissing her from this season’s SD and made a comment: “Like an old movie.“
So, frankly she is writing many things which lead people to an opinion that someting is going to happen in her life…and thanks to that info/rumour about split, it can be easily and logically explained. I don’t believe that in moment when a couple wants to split, that one or another have absolutely no idea, especially if we are talking about a couple who wanted to split so many times. We are talking about people who spend a half of every day together, they know each other, so she would certainly noticed if Nikita was “strange“ and he would certainly noticed that she was not in mood. Why she would write those strange comments in Instagram then? She had everything to be happy in that moment, but she obviously solved something.
I know Natalie’s comments about crying Lena (and I don’t think that Natalie was doing anything bad saying it, Lena was probably not crying on toilet but on some place where everybody saw her), but I don’t believe that Lena didn’t know that before. Lena was always crying quite often…after good skate, after bad skate, after loosing titles…so many times. Did she really started to cry and then came to Natalie and told her, that she cries for Nikita’s behaviour? Or did Lena cryied because they once again lost Gold Medal because of missed element in SD and Natalie saw it and because she knew about a split info she made a different explanation of it?
I don’t want to be too harsh to Nikita. If Lena is really screaming on the ice often, if she tends to lack of work ethic and have star behaviour…I am not surprised that he is looking for more calm harbour. We can notice that this couple is always connected with talent, but almost never with working ethic (one exception came from Tarasova), and they were never connected with great relationship on and off the ice, Lena says Nikita is great and Nikita says that Lena is great, but one thing is to say it and another thing is whether it is true. Nikita told already about two years ago that they are not fighting in the ice, that it is a waste of time, and this season Lena herself admits, that she is screaming and crying on the ice if she wants something? Frankly would you handle screaming and crying from your partner every second day? I guess that nor Lena either Nikita will never say true about their real off ice and during trainings relationships, but I wouldn’t put all the blame on Nikita only. If he really finds a new partner (I hope it will be somebody else then Sinitsina), we will see if he will improve in skating/dancing or if he will start to complain. The same we will see in Lena’s case, if a new partner (if she wants to continue) will be able to skate with her without any problems.
(From some old talks – Nikita‘s former partner Kabysheva, I heard that a couple split because it didn’t work together in skating terms, she was not good enought skater for him, while Lena’s ex partner Ivan Bukin – there were some personal problems, kids couldn’t stand each other like they couldn’t stand each other with Nikita for the first time. But of course there are much more mature now.)
I hope we will see soon what is really going on.
There is not much time…slowly there comes a time for thinking about new programs and music…so both coaches and skaters should know who they will be skating and working with. I don’t want to see once again that while Americans and Canadians are able to skate good looking programs in late August at competitions, Russian are in trouble to skate whole program without an interruption at the exhibition.
Elena may be more consistent than Nikita although she's the reason they lost Euros. But if the issue is that she's not willing to practice as much, it may be why he struggles with some things. Lack of practice is lack of practice especially with a partner. In terms of whose better I think she has more charisma, but I've heard many say he has better skating skills.
Hey GS, do we have confirmation of anything? Or is it still speculation?

It may be as simple as this:
They don't like each other. They don't want to spend almost every day for the next 4 years together.
Frankly, judging only from what I've read about her diva conduct, I wouldn't want to be around her either... a guy's perspective.
She is completely senile these days, and has been for quite a few years. She single handedly butchered Mao's technique and skating, even if she came up with some occasionaly great programs for her (eg- 2010 Olympic season LP) and it took her years of post Tarasova to get back on track.
they were successfull at the Olympics with home advantage (without it they would probably loose Bronze medal to P&B).
Probably not. But does it mean that there will be no splitting if RuFed say 'no' to that? I'm not so sure.
Hey GS, do we have confirmation of anything? Or is it still speculation?
True. And if the same can be said about his own behaviour, in her eyes, then really why should she continue with him either? A woman's perspective..
She doesn't somehow give off a diva vibe, IMHO. She just seems matter of fact, maybe even aloof very cerebral. I don't sense that she trusts people easily. Her closest friends it would appear are outside of FS. For Nikita I think it is the opposite. Also one of the many reasons I think they are quite incompatible. Zhulin also hinted this about them. They are a very difficult pair to manage. They need a very astute coach or they should not be together.
I don't agree with that. They won the free at Worlds, and most probably would've won the title of not for the twizzle in SD.
I think the judges really didn't like P&B FD so much, and loved I&K.
Yeah people need to face facts that I/k would've won bronze anywhere and would be world champions right now if they had twizzles in sd.
I really think something happened between her and Morozov.
Judging by her body language after the SD - she totally snubbed Morozov - I think her personal relationship with him is broken.
I think it must be tough to be a dancer or pairs skater. What must it be like to be in a partnership and discover that you just don't like your partner very well? People grow and change over the course of time. I certainly don't have the same friends, the same interests... I'm not the same person... that I was 10 years ago.
Skaters need to stop getting into personal relationships with Sleazezov.
lol you can suck it the hell up like grishuk and platov
