As a friendly response to zebobes :
They already are so incredibly :agree: good after only approx. one-and-a-half years together, which is all the more remarkable.
Thanks for your thoughts, and I enjoyed the blog posts that you pulled up.
I vaguely remember watching them last year, and not being too impressed with what they did, and just skimming through their performance. I guess it goes to show that I don't have as good of an eye for potential in skaters.
One more interesting link about them is in TSL's interview with Igor Shpilband. ...
… Oh, and I was trying to find the whole stream for free dance for Ljubljana on YouTube, to re-watch S/E and N/K back to back and then the victory ceremony which I didn't see at the time, but I couldn't find it archived. Am I just missing the obvious or has it not been posted? I know the individual performances are archived there.
My new favourite junior ice dance team! They are just awesome.
I can see that their free dance at Ljubljana was slightly technically stronger than at Kaunas, but somehow I enjoyed the Kaunas performance ever so slightly more (maybe the camerawork/angles on the rink were a little different, and worked better). ...
Ice Coverage, thank you for all you do!! I can easily keep up with what is happening with them thanks to you!
I just love this team. …
Apparently archiving of the Ljubljana FD streaming of all entries together in one long video has been blocked on copyright grounds.

If you or anyone else is feeling energetic, perhaps an e-mail request to the ever-helpful Ted Barton could result in getting the victory ceremony uploaded as an individual video??
And … I wonder whether Ted and/or his team even would be willing/able to mute whatever the problematic music was and re-upload the entire FD streaming?
I have enjoyed watching Avonley/Vadym's Ljubljana FD and RD many times now, but I do understand what you mean about the Kaunas camerawork/angles perhaps being more effective at times. :agree:
That said, the flip side of the coin is that for me, the Ljubljana camerawork did "reveal" a couple of nice choreographic details that I originally had not caught in the Kaunas videos (although by re-watching, I discovered that they were present in Kaunas -- just less visible).
Also … I do miss certain little aspects of choreo from Kaunas that really were altered for the Ljubljana programs (also Vadym's bold cuffs from the Kaunas RD), but appreciate the thought and effort that goes into fine-tuning from one competition to the next. Am looking forward to seeing what their JGPF programs will bring.
Thanks for the positive reinforcement. My knowledge of juniors (all disciplines) is extremely limited in general, but this couple has commanded my attention.
I find myself returning to this thread frequently :hopelessness: as I keep a supportive eye on them. :luv17:
