Crossposting the translation of the interview Nastya and Sasha did after their skate at the Tutberidze show!Yes, of course.
Q: Guys. What did you lose on the ice?
AG: I went for the scarf. But thanks to the arena workers, they picked it up and laid on a chair for me not to run back. But who knew it…
Q: Tamara Nikolaevna Moskvina asked Anya Shcherbakova to switch for the pairs. Don’t you want to switch for singles in that case, Nastya?
AG: No way, I won’t let her go.
AM: I’m afraid, no. They won’t accept me.
Q: And if Eteri Geogrievna asks?
AM: Then, forgive me, Sasha.
G: Only after my death.
Q: The World Team Trophy is ahead. Will you be able to add the gold there to your WC gold?
AG: Now we are going to continue preparation and there we will show everything and you will see.
Q: We will root for you. Thank you.
AM &AG: Thank you.
What Sasha said was so sweet
It's the little things like this that make me SO happy they have each other (and especially for her to have such a supportive partner in Sasha!)
Surely, subtitiles are available in 16 languages. I don't need to translate anything.

The Addams Family program was so good in Sochi, and who doesn't admire queen Aljona?
Nastya's motto is "sleep, eat, skate - and repeat" I love this girl

Both programs are kind of right up their alley. Funky and more high drama.
Congrats Nastya and Sasha on winning WTT with Team Russia!
Today they just beat their own free skating TES record, plus I believe that their 3S-eu-3S with +1.20 GOE is now the highest valued jump combo in current pairs skating!
I get the feeling a lot of top pairs will go down a classical/warhorse route, if M/G skate to something different I think it would help them stand out (even more than they already do).

I agree with you. Really excited to see what they skate to next season!

I would love to see them with a slower program. They tried with Je Suis Malade, which is not the best option, so at least they won't try it again. But they have it in them, especially him, the power to make something super high drama and more on the obscure side. I'd love that. Bring something different to the Olympics.
And let's be real, their FS this season was a bit cheesy and on the nose, but it was also a palate cleanser from the more interpretative demanding programs we had. I think they need to play to their strenghts, give them quirky characters and something fun to do. I hope Tamara can guide them toward that.

Mishina and Galliamov exclusive: World champion pairs skaters credit 'hard work' for success
How did a team go from fourth at its national championships to first on the world stage? Pairs duo Mishina and Galliamov say it was plain hard work.

Hi @flanker. Daria? You mean Nastya of course.
I have just been working on some Fanfests for certain Dutch Skaters, and only through doing that found out that Alexandr had actually skated with one of the girls of the two pair teams. Not Daria though, but Nika Osipova. I'm sure the more knowledgeble of Russian Pairs could (and probably) have told me that a long time ago, but I still was surprised!
