He tried skating with Martiusheva, but it didn't work out.

 

[3loop01]

They remind Gordeeva/Grinkov a lot!

 

[The Finn]

They skated at Sarajevo Open today. Any idea how they did? There are no results on the results page.

[Abraxis12345]

They didn't make it Alisa's mom posted on VK that there were problems with documents and they weren't allowed to leave on time

 

[The Finn]

Alisa & Alex will skate at the Hellmut Seibt Memorial (23-28 Feb). Marchei/Hotarek will be there also. Hopefully everything will be in order and A&A will make their international debut this time.

[hanca]

Let's hope they do some challengers events next season. They need to get some ranking points.

 

[The Finn]

Pretty nice score today - 162.47. They were 2nd at the Hellmut Seibt Memorial.

SP wasn't good but FS was probably one of their best despite the fact that it wasn't clean either. Alisa has had real problems with her jumps lately and this competition was no different.

I took a stab at updating their OP, a tricky task considering I do not read or speak Russian. Please check it out and tell me where I went wrong, and whether there are other things I should have included?

Thanks!

1st stage of Russian Cup. Good SP but not so good FS. I would still say that this was a promising start for the season. I hope they will skate atleast one Challenger Series competition this season.
