Too funny!

Loved their free dance performance in Barcelona, especially their new spin. We're they both a little misty eyed after their performance? They both seemed to be wiping their eyes.

I know I was, Elena was not sure about Ruslan though lol
 
Yeah, I also saw Ruslan wiping his eyes.

I think ultimately this GPF was a great experience for them. They made a few changes to their FD, so maybe they will be a little less nervous at Russian Nationals since they performed it already infront of international judges.
I was thinking about their chances getting into the Euros and Worlds team and I think they and B/S are Russia`s best chance to maintain the 3 spots at Worlds. I/Z already showed great performances in their competitions and the judges seem to really like them. The judge panel at GPF, for example, was evenly distributed between North-American, Asian and European judges and I/Z`s PCS were great for such a new team.

ITA. Although I wonder about B/S and his injury, I keep hearing different things about whether or not they are going to be ready. I really believe that I/Z could very well become Russia's #1 this year even if B/S were to compete. The judges didn't give them a lot of love last year.

Somehow, B/S always managed to peak at Russian Nationals in the past. I/K never managed to beat them, not even in the 2013/2014 season. I also think that if B/S are not there, I/Z will be #1. I read in an interview that Soloviev gave, that they are still unsure about Russian Nationals. I guess, that even without competing at Nationals, the federation will nominate B/S as long as they are ready until Euros.
 
Bobrova/Soloviev being in russian team will take some pressure from I/Z. Being russian no.1 means every small thing you did will get ciriticism. Being russian no.2 with future means they will overlook those things because you will correct this in future.:biggrin:

Which I agree with. B/S should go to Euros if they done skate. Their injury was unfortunate.
 
They were both a bit misty eyed, they seem to get deep into the performance, and to me they are as much artists as they are exceptional skaters.
I love this FD, more than I thought I will like it, and the third part most people don't like is actually my favourite part
( What I don't like is some old guys that have conferences on the net that continue to say stupid things and say that specialists told them so...)

I just want a fair competition. I just hope that the success on the GP series did also convince the Russian Federation that this couple has a future.
