Elena Ilinykh & Ruslan Zhiganshin

Lena was a little bit off in the first one, she was late.

And god that cry at the end of the k&c broke my heart a little. She was so happy and relieved and tired. Poor thing, hope they really get a good rest now.

They were stressed, this year since April must have been so hard on them. She said in an interview they didn't expect this kind of success when they started.
 
Also I'm voting for a We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together gala exhibition. (I just saw a post on Tumblr with this theme :sarcasm:)
 
They look spot on to me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yf47V293Plk

Edit: Don't know why I can't copy the exact moment, but check the slow-mo from 6:45


Check 6:51 :) It's only minor, but considering how on point they have been it was a little bit uncharacteristic. I normally don't really see it in real time if it's such a small mistake but even I saw! Edit: it's really the laaaaast laaast milisecond of the last turn of the first twizzle.

Ah ok, I thought she was late in the entry into the first set. So I was looking for that.
Yes, the sync maybe not 100% right but ok. Now they need some rest, and get prepared for Euros. :dance:

I saw it too, knowing what to look for. Very minor. But it's all good, National Champions! I still cNt believe and a part of me wonders what Nikita is thinking about it.... I dedicate this to him on behalf of Lena:

We shouldn't gloat too much, we're more classy than that ;) Ruslena is the classy team. Maybe a little bit :) BUT I AM SO HAPPY FOR RUSLENA. WHAT A DAY !!! :cheer::biggrin:

PS. Come on people, we have to make the 100 page mark. Today is special.

:laugh: I saw the Tumblr that LisaM was speaking. :laugh2:

@bramweld: I don't gloat about S&K, maybe a bit.:p I gloat about I&Z because I always believed in them, and I'm sick of people still going on with I&K. So, never, ever, ever, ever, ever....:biggrin:
 
I`m sooooo happy for Ruslena. I knew if they nail their SD, they could win this thing and they did, they really did! :cheer:

I`m glad they are getting a break, especially Elena seemed to be very, very tired. It`s great that they are pushing themselves so hard, but breaks are also important. Besides, they should let it sink in that they are now the reigning Russian Ice Dance Champions. I repeat: Ruslena are the reigning Russian Ice Dance Champions! :rock:

Music to my ears.

I'm so happy cause we believed all along, and while some people can't let go ( and it's their problem, not ours) the truth is this. A couple that in less than 8 months of hard work did all that, and this is big. The rest, people being bitter, trying to convince their fans they have no chemistry is just funny.Bitter people stay bitter, whatever we do or say.
And I think I want to dedicate the national title to those who still try to think of Ruslan as inferior and go around places saying that.Ruslan is a solid rock, he proved that tonight, and we haven't seen what he can do yet. The way he moves is like a cross between Moir and Dean at times, and the way he presents Lena is amazing.
I think that I/Z found their other skating half, that was somewhere hidden for them
