Wow, love the look on them both. This girl has style !!! Is it just me or does Ruslan's hair look really cool too? Man, no more blaming Kustarova in that regard. Y/M looked quite yummy today as well. The whole group got a style makeover:cheer2:
I wonder who suggested the chance? :laugh:

All the best to I/Z! Rooting for them to pull a surprise upset and dare I say, podium? :cheer: But no pressure on them, making the GPF in their first season skating together is already a huge accomplishment :)

I was very impressed with them this season. Ilinykh accomplished a lot with Katsalapov, but Zhiganshin is the better partner for her. Their skating is more together.

I'm mad. I don't care about the placement, it's their first GPF, but I so much wanted them to do well in Barcelona with Carmen. Too nervous. :bang:

It's not the placement that I care much because they are a new couple.
Their strength was the SD, and I wanted them to do good with that program.
Maybe they were trying to fix their FD more.
I don't care about the placement as well.
Have faith that they will deliver tomorrow.

I mad with this: one judge has given them 6.25 per interpretation and another one 6.75 per their SS? Really? :unsure:
What a joke! :laugh2:

After watching the scores for juniors I don't take those judges seriously anymore.

I feel the same. But as Meoima said, maybe they've just focused a lot on the FD. It did need a lot more work, so for Nationals they'll have both programs fully ready I would think.

With all the mistakes, they still get more points for their SD than any other Russian couple in the Grand Prix Series and they got the 4th best PCS.
