Happy birthday Elena!
Edit: A bit late but we had celebrations here in Italy as well. It has been a busy day and I came late at home.

Fan-video for Ruslan

It's a beautiful song of Charles Aznavour, and I love the lyrics. He sang this song in italian and english as well. I like the french and italian myself, because the lyrics are just perfect in both versions, so I did the video with both.

Thank you, Alba. You really weren't kidding about just getting started, were you? 
I loved all your videos but this one is special because I've never seen a fan video for Ruslan before and it really isn't fair, because Elena is amazing, but she couldn't have done much on her own. They are a match made in heaven, but that happened because they both worked their butts off.

Ruslan really doesn't get enough credit. Elena gets all the attention because she's the one with Olympic medal and is the flower of the pairing while Ruslan's "just" the stem and has fewer achievements on the senior level. He was always good, I think, but he's worked so hard and improved so much, and I'm really impressed with him. Of course he can improve, but so can Elena and I'm looking forwards to seeing them grow together.
A team is about how you work together, and one of the reasons I love this team so much is their connection on the ice and how they relate to each other. Ice dance is a team sport, and more people would do well to remember that.

And I just got a pro. program. Haven't started yet with that one.
I fully agree with you and chameleon. This is a team sport, but he has done wonders for me this season. Can't wait to see them the next one.
Thank you, Alba, you make off-season pass easier. ))) I translated the lyrics, they are just great.
No one can stop Alba now. )))

Дорогие друзья!
Лена и Руслан хотят отблагодарить всех болельщиков за нереальную поддержку в сезоне!!
Мы устраиваем мастер-класс на льду (на катке Медведково) примерно на час. На льду будут ребята и их тренеры. Все, у кого есть коньки и кто хочет покататься с ребятами, этот пост для Вас!! Все, кто не умеет кататься на коньках и хочет просто пообщаться с ребятами, этот пост для Вас!!
ВНИМАНИЕ!!! Самое важное. Друзья, нам нужно определиться с датой данного мероприятия и примерным количеством человек. Даты выбираются с 4 по 8 мая включительно! Дату выбираем, конечно же, одну. Время потом согласуем, после выбора даты, так как нам необходимо будет забронировать каток.
Также на катке мы организуем вкусняшки для хорошего настроения
Информацию о дате и количестве человек пишите в комментариях, собирать ее будет Света Дьячкова. Друзья, определиться нужно завтра к вечеру!!! Это важно.

I was in Moscow until Saturday.....

Oh noooo, that's so unlucky! I wish I could go, just imagine how amazing it would be to skate with them (although also potentially very embarrassing, they are so good and I am so ... not good!)
Can anyone on the thread go, I'd love to hear reports!

I'm not worried, something tells me that there will be lots of photos and videos. Nothing is going to stop Ruslena fans from filming and sharing
By the way, I think it's a wonderful idea. Whoever came up with it is a genius and appreciates the support of the fans. And the Russian fans were amazing at COR.
Is this something that Russian skaters usually do?
