Does anybody know how many spots Russia has for the WC in Ice Dance?
They won't attend the open skates either.
So we'll have to wait for the GP ?
2 I think?

3 spots as I/k were 4th and S/Z 7th = 112 I think?

Interesting to hear her say "The man should always be in the lead, both in life and in sports"
She's becoming smarter. I love their first interview together.
They seem so promising and there is a sense of togetherness in their words.Maybe everything happens for a reason.
Nothing against Ruslan, but can you imagine if Elena and Najarro were to be an Ice Dance couple?
The ice will melt the minute they set their skates on it.
:agree: But Ruslan might surprise us. Do we remember this cha cha, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlHDnHCEKjY The man can move when he finds his groove. Seriously, I am getting too excited to see these two.
Of course. I'm not comparing Ruslan with Najarro or anybody, but that clip made me think.
Elena and Najarro look so similar, at least to me. It's like she's his female version.
You are so right. Lena is not your typical Russian beauty.
From all reports I've had, both new team are not looking good at all so far.
Vika isn't a strong ice dancer and her basics sucks, meaning she has at least a year of work to at least look like a decent ice dancer. The new team cannot do much footwork.
And as for Elena, people are more interested in knowing how long she'll stick to the sport once she finds a suitable husband. But the team looks a lot better than Vika and Nikita which doesn't mean anything since they are worse than anyone feared.
Elena, from the way she talked in the interview, pretty much sounds like she want to continue.From a use on FSU:
I don't know why people are still talking about her commitment to this sport.
Plus, saying they don't look good but no further reasons related to actual skating....hwell:

Where is all that "Elena isn't serious about Ice Dance.... Elena just wants a husband. ." coming from ???
I've never heard that, but appearantly this has been said about her more than once ?
I (come on guys: we all) knew that Viktoria could NEVER measure up to Elena in the first place. Not technically and definitely not artistically!
The only question for me was if Ruslan would be able to catch up to Elena, and it seems like he has.
(As much as it's possible in such a short time)
The key thing here Alba is the statement at the center of it all "Lena and Rus" look a lot better than their previous partners. This I think has really rubbed many the wrong way, especially those who may have invested a lot in Zueva and believed the innuendo coming from Nikita's camp. I tend to believe Ruslan's modest enthusiasm about their test skate as well as the accounts of Kustarova, than these third hand accounts.
As for Lena desiring a suitable husband, what business is that of anyone's if she can skate the way she does? If I were them I would try to retain her skills at all cost. Maybe the FED should recommend a decent dating service if they're so inclined
We all saw S/K in May they were decent if not earth shattering so if I/Z are a lot better than this I see no sense in all this hand wringing. What it sounds like to me is that people are disappointed that Lena is doing so well with Ruslan.
Here is the rub. I think persons in Nikita's camp are quite startled by the good press that Lena and Rus have been enjoying since everything happened. This might just be a desperate attempt to pull everyone down in the eyes of the public. You know misery likes company.
But beyond this, consider Madison and Evan in their first season, they are lesser skaters and in their first season they didn't embarrass themselves. All of this is just rubbish we will all know better when they take the ice.
