Elena Ilinykh & Ruslan Zhiganshin

I for sure am developing a huge crush on him. I wouldn't even have thought about it just a few months ago.

But damn, Ruslan. Pfew. :love::drama:
 
I think they are intelligent as well and focused, they know what they want from their career but for right now I just want them to get some rest, then get in shape, and skate well.I'm not even thinking about titles and medals right now for Euros and Worlds ( sorry guys, mantra time for me:laugh2:)
 
That's what I thought when I first found those pics. Their smiles can light up the whole world, and they are genuine.
The russian commentator said it's obvious they enjoy skating together,I think this is part of their success, as well as being amazing skaters

Averbuch must never, never, ever choreograph for them ever again. NO, no, no. The more I watch the SD and FD the more evident the lack of innovation or interest shown in the latter. Though I thought it was okay at first now I'm seeing the light when I look at all of the top five dances. If I were to follow my inner conspiracy theorist, I'd even go as far as to say Ilia purposely saddled them with a dud. That being said since the majority of the Russian ID community is squarely behind the success of S/K (silence towards I/Z and praise for S/K in some circles) who could they really invite to choreograph their programs? That being said Y/M have one of my favourite FD's of the season and that was done in house. So should they spend more funds on acrobats for lifts and do the choreo themselves?

I don't think he intentionally gave them a dud. We have to remember this was first program choreographed. And it was don't at the very beginning of their partnership and don't have a type of style yet. I believe the SD was choreographed after. I think it is an ok starting point. They found their type of style in their SD IMO. They are fiery and passionate. In sure they will have a better FD next season since they have developed a lot since the beginning.

Hope so.
