Tatiana Volosozhar & Maxim Trankov

Video from last night, the end of the show:

In the beginning you can see them talking/arguing. During skyfall Tanya fell on the throw, I assume they talk about that. I don't understand very well who's fault it is, his or hers, but I think it's the second time this happened during this tour. Of course they repeated it successfully a few minutes later. Must be all this constant work since December without a break. I was looking at others who perform and when they do their elements the amplitude of the throw and lifts is definitely lighter than during competition, but not with Tatiana and Maxim, the hight of the throw is enormous.

I also read some comments of a person who went to a show and said they're adorable and at the end of a show when each skater was supposed to hold hands with the one next to him/her, Maxim looked and didn't see Tanya and started to panick a bit and she showed up immediately

That was really sweet, thanks for posting annafer

Am I the only one who misses Max's white shirt during the Skyfall EX?

I could create a vimeo account and upload a recording of it you want. I should have tons of free time this weekend.

It'd be wonderful if you could do that! <3 I'd love to see it. thank you so much.

More sad news... Apparently Kirsten Moore Towers and Dylan Moscovitch have also split. (
I love this pair. More than Megan and Eric actually. I hoped they could win a medal next season, now that Aliona and Robin are not together anymore...

First Aliona and Robin, then Nikita and Elena & Vera and Yuri (though it's only for their own good lol) , and now Kirsten and Dylan. I CAN'T TAKE IT.

WHAT???!!!! Another pair???

In other news, apparently Aliona is now French and will be appearing with Massot in All That Skate, so it'll be interesting to see how she's doing with him

What? That's so not fair to Robin. He signed in for All That Skate as well and now she goes there with Massot? Where did you read/hear that?
Are there any pairs left next year excpt for V/T ans S/K?
But I read in various threads that it's not really surprising that Moore-Towers and Moscovitch split.

EDIT I just read myself that they'll skate together in Yuna's show :scowl:

I wondered about the All That skate shows as well. But you can still see their names among the cast even though they've stopped training together already, and i don't think the organizers will let her perform with Massot, considering the fact ppl paid to Aliona and ROBIN.

Speaking of next season - well right now it looks like the real battle is going to be between V/T ans S/K. I guess we shall wait at least 2 more seasons until new pairs join the scene.

About Kirsten and Dylan- What I loved about them is their energy and positivity, which I didn't get at all from Megan and Eric. Their lifts were great, and the overall chemistry and flow of their routines were not forced at all. You could really see they're real close friends despite the age difference. what a shame.

Well, in the article I read it sounded really final that Aliona and Bruno would go there and start training in Chemitz on May 12th.
As well that Robin canceled the shows.
But I agree with you that the people paid to see the world champions Aliona and Robin and not a complete unknown pair to the international competitions...

Well it's in German but I can tell you what they say if you want...

[justastro]

Well this was the article I saw http://www.bild.de/sport/wintersport/aljona-sawtschenko/wird-franzoesin-35713658.bild.html (not that I read German)

Looks like for the next season, the main pairs are going to be V/T, S/K, D/R and possibly the three Chinese pairs, but I really don't see any pair even coming close to V/T.

Re Robin, I'm pretty convinced that he was the one who pulled out of the shows instead of Aliona insisting on skating with Massot. So since he pulled out and she still wants to skate/wants the money, then she might as well skate with Massot. That's just my theory

Haha, first things first: never trust the BILD
But yeah, I read several German articles (trustworthy ones ) on that and they do state that Robin pulled out of the shows.
What I didn't know was that she could just go there with her new partner. Didn't know that works. Same goes for Art on Ice 'cause if I remember correctly they signed a multiple-year contract there as well (Aliona and Robin)

Haha I am clearly not German, so thanks for letting me know
I think the situation with All That Skate is simpler than Art on Ice, because all the tickets were already sold before the news broke out, so it's not like the organisers lost out on ticket sales because people wanted to see them together. And while it will leave some fans disappointed, most of them are there to see Yuna anyway, and at least the fans still get to see half of S/S if Aliona goes there with Massot. AOI will probably be trickier, because tickets might not sell as well without S/S (because five-time world champion really is quite a big draw), and Aliona would not have established herself with Massot yet. Robin must have thought everything out and still decided that it was worth going through with it

Yea that is Tanya's building, but I think Max's flat is also in that same building. Fedor lives at number 28 (http://instagram.com/p/k1yvRFxU5X/) Maybe they're just chilling at Max/Tanya's place?

Most of the Korean's come for Yuna anyways that's right
But for next years Art on Ice it is impossible for Massot and Aliona to establish themselves anyway due to the fact that they're not allowed to compete internationally.
On the other hand I think people go to Art on Ice to see Stephane
Maybe (I don't know if that's possible) they'll just cancel that contract or something like that...(from either side: the organisers or the team)
As for Robin he says that he's got several ideas for his future and that the figure skatin era is definitely a closed thing for him now.

EDIT But didn't post Max a picture of the plane ticket to Khabarovsk already?
Would be quite the long way to go to Yekatarinburg to Moscow just to fly into the opposite direction again....or?

In early interviews it was written that Tanya and Stas had their flat in the same building as Max and Sasha. And I guess flats were kept by Tanya and Max when their respective relatioships ended. So since their flats are very close, it's funny when Max said in some interview this autumn that if he was watching football in her flat and Tanya was sleeping when the game ended, he saw no point to go home and instead stayed the night. I mean the distance was really really far...
