The Latvian couple in Kustarova's group already flew to Saransk. I suppose I/Z were on the same flight.

So, Ruslena`s first competition in this season. I wish them two clean skates and a lot of fun.

Btw, P/C aren`t skating to Frida, so no battle of the Fridas this season

I'm ready now.

Really, what are they skating to? Wonderful.

EDIT: No worries I found out myself from the FSO. Beautiful music but quite similar to what they did last year just in terms of texture of the music. The FD music seems pretty similar in tone to the offerings of W/P, Shibs, C/B, S/K to name a few. I'm glad our guys seem to be charting a different path.

Their FD music is beautiful, but similar to the music of the other Montreal couples. I wonder how the judges will receive it. I think Ruslena`s and C/L`s FDs will stand out this season.

 

[bramweld]

Agree with you 100%. But the music is very beautiful. It suits them well.

 

[LisaM]

I hope their dance is not a rip off of last year's. It was beautiful but I hope they are not too one sided like some other top couples (imo). They are so young, I hope they experiment.

Alba, your video clip is fantastic - it's a real work of art! Do you have a web page where you post your video clips?

Wishing Elena and Ruslan the very best of luck tomorrow, both with their skate and with the judging!

 

[uhh]

I hope we might get some practice pictures today, I want to see costumes!

 

[Sugarpova]

Good luck to them!

Me too!! There is also the holy grail of a practice video, but I think practices here might be closed? so I don't expect it...

 

[tulosai]

Good luck to them!
