So many of my favourites... it's going to be a nailbiter.

It seems they (Sasha and Liza) left for Bordeaux a few hours ago.

 

[adelia]

Sasha and Liza are on a flight to Bordeaux, should be arriving soon.

Oh, sasha seems like a basic teenager in that picture. Phone on his hand and headphones on

I'm really not so nervous about TEB than I was about SC for some reason. I just hope everything goes as planned for both Liza and Sasha

Oh I am very nervous.
But it's nice to see them traveling together again.

You know, that's funny - same here!

In addition to what you said, I also especially wish Sasha the best of luck with the quad.

Okay, yeah that's Sasha on the right, Mishin and Prokofieva are at the bottom centre of the picture.

[LRK]

Thanks. Any news on how he did?

 

[adelia]

No news on Sasha specifically.

 

[LRK]

Oh, okay, thanks. Anyway, I know not to give practices too much weight, anyway, but... couldn't help feeling curious nonetheless. Also would be fun to know if he has been seen doing any quads.

Yeah, I'm curious (and anxious) too.

 

[LRK]

Funny that I'm curious, but not anxious. Before SC, however, was quite another story! I don't even know why I'm not worried? Anyway, things turned out well for him at SC - he did well; I hope he's shook off whatever nerves he may have had, and is just going in for enjoying himself now. I am sure that the quad is stable, or it won't be in the LP. Landing it in competition is another story, though, we know that. Still... it would be fun to know if he has been training them. Just curious - as is my wont.

The view from Sasha's room is apparently not as good as Liza's. lol But not too bad nonetheless.

 

[LRK]

Yeah, it seems Liza got the more atmospheric view.

 

[adelia]

Well, in case you guys are curious about what the hotel rooms look like...

Kind of off topic but, Sasha is the youngest skater in men's senior GP's this year, right?
So I just realized that it really doesn't matter that much how he places (as long as he skates well of course) since he doesn't have a chance to the finals or anything. So basically what I'm trying to say is that really to be honest he has nothing to loose at this point.
