What happened to them? Any updates? Are they still skating? Will they compete this season and shock us with medal worthy programs?
He got sick, so they had to withdraw from their two events. They are GREAT at getting levels and could really surprise at Nationals, since they're against three teams that aren't that great at that.
Is it confirmed they will compete? I wonder if Russia has some type of plan with them to shock Bobrova and company and win Nationals... Which would put them in the mix at Europeans and Worlds.
Was it mono that he had??? I don't remember. However, it can be very hard to come back from a long illness. All your muscles are shot to heck.
I actually think if they compete decently they will get second at least. That Romeo Juliet program by the other Russian couple is about the most god-awful program I ever saw for a top flight team.I read that on several boards, but no links, so I didn't want to say that.
bsp, I doubt that they'll WIN Nationals - PCS will undo them there. But they could pip R/T for that third slot. Would be interesting to see who gets sent to Euros and Worlds in that circumstance.

What Romeo Juliet program?
to be fair, i/k have skated the same program to three different types of music (adele, ave maria, and a random music selection at russian test skates), so i don't blame you for being confused.
I would like to see them back on track,I was one of few people who actually loved their Frida FD.(maybe I am subjective because I really love the music they used though )
Anyone knows their programs this season?
I think I read somewhere they have tango FD, but don't know details.
Can't wait to see this team at Nationals, but they are number two in their group after B/S, so I'm a bit worried for them
I asked their coach Elena Kustarova about them at the GP Final. She said that they are back training, but it took him a long time to recover as he indeed suffered from mononucleosis. He was unable to practice fully until recently. But she said that they are preparing for Russian Nationals. Just the week before the GP Final they were able to do the first full run-throughs of their programs and they went well. It will be interesting to see them at Nationals.
