2015 Russian Nationals Free Dance

This was an awesome competition! :) Big congratulations to everyone. So glad to see Elena & Ruslan as champions, happy for Ksenia & Kirill and Alexandra & Ivan, too, although I would prefer Victoria & Nikita on the podium instead of A & I a bit...:)
PS: I have my new favourite pair to support - Tiffany & Jonathan. They look so good together. Just don't understand, why they're competing for Russia. :/
 
Congratulations to Elena and Ruslan on winning their first national title! :cheer:
Congratulations as well to Alexandra, Ivan, Ksenia, and Kirill on their first senior national medals! :hb:
 
It's safe to say I/Z and M/K will go to Euros!!! 3rd spot will take B/S if they will be ready to compete, or S/B :)
 
It's not terrible. The program itself is not that bad, but I'm afraid she shows nearly zero personality :(

I'm pretty sure she tried something after they finished program and doing bows. Hip shaking with playful smile?:shocked: Or it was my imagination?:laugh:

:laugh2: No, it's not your imagination. She also tried some hands moves this time too :)
 
I wanted to write the same... At least someone else did it. :laugh:

Well, lets not gloat with the extra time off the will slay next season. However that being said, CONGRATS TO RUSLENA. THEY HAVE WON THEIR FIRST NATIONAL TITLE! SOMETHING I/K NEVER DID. I KNOW. I'm such a hypocrite but I could not help myself.
 
S/K seemed to have improved a lot and the twizzles seemed great. That 2nd lift where he looks at her crotch not so nice
My thoughts exactly :slink:
It's very obvious and uncomfortable, can't he look at her free foot or the ceiling?
Apart from that an improvement indeed.
And I see where Zueva is coming from with Victoria, she really is a pretty girl, I want her to show some presence in the future cause all I look at right now is Nikita and his hair.
 
The season is over and the team is finished. They break up soon.

Not every team gels quickly - Chock/Bates, Gilles/Poirer, Pechalat/Bourzat. I'd give them time. But they're different in that they have a very deep field to contend with, as opposed to those aforementioned. It will be interesting to see how they develop.
I do see a coach switch in the near future though. Perhaps Platov?
 
S/K were lucky not to have the same problem as at NHK where the curve gets called as a straight line lift & invalidates the 2nd lift. In the replay you could clearly see there was no curve, and he was on the verge of losing his blades in exactly the same way as in Japan. Twizzles still out of synch, but they did look a bit faster, although the speed is not carried when they need to be in close hold in the step sequences. PCS was very over generous, much more gifted than any of the other couples.

Oh yeah, I forgot to say it, congratulations Ruslena. :cheer:
 
M/K probably got highest BV from all teams. If I remember correctly, they had highest BV out of all the teams in both their GP events too.
