I love that 3+2+2 combo. They do that so good. Never thought they have the 3S sbs jump.
It's interesting because the italian commentators were talking about that. Where did you read this?
MOSCOW, November 16. / Corr. TASS Mikhail Makarov /. The winners of the Moscow stage of the Grand Prix of Figure Skating pair Xenia and Fedor Klimov Stolbov ready to complicate their programs, despite the already complex arsenal of elements. About this Stolbov told Tass correspondent.
"In training, each of us individually confidently performs a cascade of two triple jumps - said the Olympic champion team tournament in Sochi. - But we do not include it in the program because it synchronously execute does not always work, and the difference in complexity between stages 3 and 3 + 3 + 2 + 2 is not so significant. It is better beautifully stable, with the "span" to perform a 3 + 2 + 2 than not very confident, with no guarantee of 3 + 3. In addition, there are ideas instead of double axel jump triple Salchow, but is still too early. "
Stolbov added that the possible inclusion in the program, and other complex elements.
"I have two years ago made quite confident in training ejection Salchow in four turns. But our goal this season - a foothold on the level that we showed last season and not lope elements for ultra-si. Otherwise, chasing two rabbits, you can, as they say, do not catch anything, "- said the athlete.

Russian pair took the podium at the Grand Prix of Figure Skating in Moscow
The debut season was successful
Xenia Stolbov in general was pleased with his performance in the long program at the Moscow Grand Prix. "Hire a success. We made only one small mistake in the cascade of three jumps. We both threw back after a triple toe loop, and to save the situation, we are not saying a word, instead of a single dual-made sheepskin and add to it another double. The remaining elements are made clean. So it's debut in the season can be considered successful. a bit sad that the season was canceled with allowance for the complex elements in the second half of any program. otherwise, we would have set a personal record today, "- said the skater.
Director of both programs Stolbovoi Klimova and this season was Nikolai Morozov.
"We love Fedor dynamic music in the short program. It is the wish we made Nicholas. He offered a rather unusual music - from the movie" Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. "Neither Nicholas nor the more we have not had experience with Chinese music. So the three of us went specifically in the People's center in New York, where he took a hour and a half lesson choreography. and they went thence filled with a mass of ideas and tried to put into the ice. as for the arbitrary, then take the music from "Notre Dame de Paris "was a joint idea. We just agreed that it should be no longer nabivshaya nauseam" Belle "and the cutting of the other music," - said Stolbov.
Xenia also actively participated in the development and costumes.
"The idea of the costumes in both programs is mine. And unhappy costumers designers had to work hard to realize all my ideas for the short program. Especially difficult were given arms, wings of foam on my dress. Yes, because these arms too hot and uncomfortable to perform several elements, but the beauty demands victims, "- says the interlocutor.
Dreamed of being leaders of the world figure skating
Explaining the reasons for his last break of the budding couple in a position of world leaders in pair skating, Xenia, said: "We completely changed my life in the past year, with the main aim of this was precisely the Olympic Games. We do not have room for error there. And the good performance Sochi really made everyone look at us with different eyes. and, frankly, we are finally believe in themselves. of course, we dream to be leaders, to us it was moving all world pairs skating. and personally, I love this feeling. I became more confident, even happier. I hope that the same spirit of our career, and will continue. I note that compete at the highest level I like much more than just a fight with ourselves. and I think we can now fight on equal terms with Tanya Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov, even when they are, I hope, after recovering from injury partner to return to its previous high level. "
"I love to skate - continued Stolbov. - And I love to compete. When there is no long tournaments, I sometimes want to scream even beat someone. Need a splash of emotions. That, I think, our distinguishing feature Fedor" .
Stolbov disagreed with the common opinion that her character more sporty than the partner.
"In fact, Fyodor very strong character, he just, unlike me, is not so openly shows his. I even sometimes think that it is tougher than I am, he just very cultured and educated people. And if I need my emotions throw out, or I can explode, then Fyodor himself controls and constrains without problems. "
Thank you so much. The italians said that they are sure they will bring something in 1 year time.
I would love that.![]()

haha they're basically the complete contrast to Volosozhar & Trankov.![]()

I love Ksenia and Fedor. I always thought they didn't get the credit they deserve.
Everyone's been talking about D\R this season but TBH Megan is no much to Ksenia's elegance, ease and flow.
Russian ladies are the BEST!![]()
So true.![]()
I love this:
If these two skate clean there is no competition no matter how hard D&R try with their tech.
S&K are a true pair. Her lines, extensions are gorgeous and they are so in sync that even when they make an error they make it in perfect sync.
That was incredible.![]()
Alba, what did you say to Ksenia, if you don't mind me asking?![]()
I told her that I love their programs. That they are fantastic and she's a true warrior queen of the ice.I also said to Mozer: it looks like you are going to have a world champions in pairs this year too (you could hear my voice saying that
) .

Very cool! Did you communicate in English, Russian, Italian, German with them ... ? Also, was Robin around?
Edit: she basically said they're close to perfect couple, their skating looks classic but unpredictable at the same time.
Edit: she basically said they're close to perfect couple, their skating looks classic but unpredictable at the same time. She's VERY happy with them right now. But you know, it's TATStill wanted to post it here.
She is right about that. They are not the classic couple, meaning not the romantic and all sugar.
They are powerful and athletic but they have the classical beautiful lines of the russian school.
It's a beautiful mix.
