Yes, sources are reporting this is the most likely pairing for Moore-Towers and that she and Marinaro have already been seen on the ice together.

Deividas STAGNIUNAS retired

Katarina GERBOLDT may skate with new partner or retire
http://www.sports.ru/others/figure-skating/1020222511.html (Russian)

Thanks, I was just about to ask if the Stagniunas/Tobias split was confirmed or just rumoured. I'm glad it was due to his retirement and they didn't decide to break up and continue on with other people RIGHT after she got Lithuanian citizenship. That would have been weird. I guess Tobias and Tkachenko will have to skate for Lithuania, since I don't think they'll hand Tobias Russian citizenship so close after she got Lithuanian.

Kamilla GAINETDINOVA now is at Nina Mozer's group in pair with Sergey ALEKSEEV http://www.fskate.ru/skaters/392.html (russian language).
He (with previous partner) was 2nd in Juniors at NRW Trophy http://www.lev-nrw.org/docs/event/1271/index.htm

Ivan BICH tried to make pair with Elizaveta IUSHENKO http://www.isuresults.com/bios/isufs00014291.htm , but she preferred to remain single skater.

that's horrible
too much skaters are going to Mozer
she doesn't deserve all this credit at all btw

I wish it will work out for Kamilla. I really liked her. She and her new partner can stay in juniors one more year if I am not mistaken then...

I am quite pleased that Yushenko remained single skater. It would be a waste to go to pairs. She has all the jumps and difficult combinations which she would not use in pairs.

Kamilla GAINETDINOVA - Sergey ALEKSEEV - can they remain one more year in juniors? It seems to me that Russia will be next season without a decent junior pair, whereas Russian seniors will be overcrowded. Not all seniors will be able to get even one GP event, and they obviously won't be going to Europeans/worlds, so remaining in juniors where they could do 2 JGP and junior worlds seems to me quite a good idea.

She is not alone.

Actually, in this I agree with sky_fly20. Mozer seems to be getting too many pairs there, and I wonder if she will be able to give all of them enough time and attention.
Volosozhar/Trankov
Stolbova/Klimov
Zabijako/Larionov
Davankova/Enbert
Kamila Gainetdinova/Sergey Alekseev

And on the same rink also
Tarasova/Morozov
(although Morozov is probably their main coach.)

Any relation to the coaches Tatiana Tarasova and Nikolai Morozov? Or are these just common Russian names?

It would be kind of weird if the children/relatives of Tatiana Tarasova & Nikolai Morozov were in a skating partnership. ;)
If they were relatives, then this pair would be like Romeo and Juliet on ice, given that Tat said Morozombie had moral issues. Lol
