Elena Ilinykh & Ruslan Zhiganshin

[tulosai]

I saw them as wobbly but I think out-of-sync will be the correct call And I'm so, so happy for them right now. They were great and I can't wait for the FD.

Me too!! Also I meant the first set not the second--- I am way too excited!!

People are saying B/S have withdrawn but not positive yet if it's true.

I'm not sure because my feed is frozen but the couple currently dancing looks like them.

EDIT: Ok. It's not them.

They are not yet listed as WD either but now some of the people who are saying it I actually trust so I think it is true. How disappointing.

I think they may be right because the couple I'm seeing now that my feed works aren't them.

I don't know if the twizzles were wobbly exactly, they both seemed secure but they were a little off sync especaily in the second set- he pulled in a bit more quickly than she did. This was the only real problem I noticed too. Their edges in the waltz pattern were so deep and

I felt like Ruslan's twizzles were more with the music and Lena was more like.. calculated haha.

As for B/S, they obviously were shocked by Ruslena's monster score

Apparently it shocked them into withdrawal... although, they scored a 69 and change at the Russian cup, so certainly could have scored very high here too.

B/S's fan fest has reported that Katya has injured her leg. I hope she feels better soon

I loved their SD, so much energy! I still have little doubt about the last part but I guess they will make it click as well into the GP series. Congrats to them for the strong performance!

You know what, I don't care if you're serious or kidding, I'm not going to post or read anything in this thread from this minute. Dissapointed.

And that was the first international performance, great going guys!!!

 

[Kittosuni]

I think the problem is that at the first half of the routine they were hella fast but towards the end they slow down instead of building. the music is very catchy and really gets into you. They also changed their lift which i think suits better im this program

I must confess, my first reaction mirrored LisaM, but I'll give the guys the benefit of the doubt, at least until they address the media themselves.

I/Z have the highest SD score so far this season

I need to go to bed now since it is past midnight where I am from. Waited for Ruslena and B/S so now I'm gonna sleep. Will come back to this thread tomorrow for the FD. Night, guys

I'm sorry you interpreted that way Snow. I saw your reaction to bramweld's response in the competition topic so I was expecting something like this, but I had hoped the winky face would have given people enough context. Of course B/S could easily challenge Ruslena, and I hope the problems which caused them to withdraw are nothing serious and we can have a true fight soon. But I was just joking - doing it here instead of the competition topic because I was hoping to avoid people who would misinterpret me - and I hope you can see that too. Please don't take it too seriously, it's only a small B competition.

Really, didn't CL get something like 76 or 78 at Lombardia Trophy?
