Although there were issues, that was a fun programme from Artemieva / Bryukhanov.

Haven't heard "Natural Blues" being skated to before, but I hope we do again.

You know, it's a wonder that @elektra blue hasn't joined us yet, what with there being so many redheads in not just the opening group, but also the second.

Or, do these glasses need cleaned?

I think it's part of the act? Aren't they super young?

She's 19, he's 21. (Which surprised me, they look so much younger)

But, seeing the replay, nah it wasn't real!

Lots of presents for them. Including a Pikachu. Which is timely, as the film is being shown on BBC1 this afternoon.

As for Mukhortova, she looks like a little clone of Evgenia Tarasova.

Hence why a lot of us have got into the habit of calling her "Bonsai Tarasova".

@elektra blue - I know you are the most frequent user of it, but was it you that created that nickname, or was it somebody else?

Whoa. I can't believe he saved that lift as well as he did. She was totally off center. And, then a fall in the spin. This is a freaky event. But, good for him. The program was going so well up till then. I really like them.

While the ice makes, is there any news on the Russian forums about PanfiIova/Rybov? I will be very very sad for them not to reach their senior potential.

You know, given that Coolio died a few months ago, I would have expected anybody skating to "Gangster's Paradise" this season to use his version. Even though I actually like the 2WEI version.

Such a shame about double fall at the end. They were lucky to walk away from it - it was mighty scary! Not the way you want to finish your Championships.

Wow! Despite this, they still take the lead in both FS and overall. Mind you, it is only by half a point in the FS.

Time for a resurfacing.

Heh look at Moskvina in that sea of giants!

Also I was catching up on the Pairs SP and I'm pretty sure they got her a box to stand on :laugh2:

I don't know what I want to go "awwww" at more - the cuddly toy behind the skaters as they were waiting to go onto the ice, or the wee girl holding it!

:love:

Jeeze even Kolesov is having lift problems. They are usually rock solid. At this point, I just hope nobody gets hurt.

As it goes, good SP, bad FS. Sigh.

Here they are the original Tarasova/Morozov!

Nervous times! Can they move up in the standings?
