^ Why would he do that? 
At least most of the pics should probably be posted at his VK group, I would think.

A new interview with Dima:
http://rsport.ru/interview/20160224/897981844.html
It's quite long, but worth the read. He talks about his good friendship with Daniel Samohin
, aspiring to the elite level of skating, and many other topics. It sounds like he wants to do a program from a movie soundtrack next season - the interviewer suggests Terminator, but I'm not sure about that one. 
I wonder what would be good, and not too overused. Has anyone ever skated to Blade Runner before?

(does Sasha not have a fan thread? maybe someone should start one for him)
I don't want to jinx anyone, but it's been over a decade since a Russian man won JW...wouldn't it be nice? I like how Dima & Sasha have a great friendly rivalry too.

No, he doesn't. He has all the talent already, great technical ability for his age, and a very good coach & choreographer. What he does probably need is a good sports psychologist.

oh gmyers, I like how you were always all doomed and gloomy about Russian ice dance, then about Russian men and how you always want to send Russian skaters to NA coaches. Honestly, do you work as a NA scout for figure skating but are just bad at it and don't know how to get people in?
I am sad Dmitri finished off the podium, but I am sure it will motivate him to work better. He's just 16, still learning, still growing. It wasn't a failure, it was a great experience to learn from!

Yes, and this was his first Junior Worlds. Daniel was 12th and 8th at the last two Junior Worlds, for reference.
I know I shouldn't bother trying to engage with gmyers, but what's so special about North American coaches as a group? There is only one Brian Orser, and he can't coach every promising skater on the planet...and having him as a coach still isn't a guarantee of instant success. There are a lot of skaters at TCC who aren't doing as well as Javi and Yuzuru. Then there's the rest of the NA coaches, who certainly don't seem to have any better success rates with their men than the Russian coaches. Young male skaters are nearly all inconsistent, regardless of their coach, especially with the crazy tech content they are attempting these days. Dmitri has solid technique so if he can learn to calm his nerves, I think he will be just fine in the long run.

His pcs was not good for a person who was first after the sp. if he was coached in North America by Carroll or orser the judges would know he comes from a place where there is respect for pcs and having artistry in men's skating. He comes from a place where kovtun has been champion three times. The kovtun effect is very damaging. He doesn't have the pcs to compete for world medals in seniors. Why are all great ice dance teams in Detroit/Michigan? Because being there has great cache. Training in Russia for a man is awful. It means you are bad. Aliev is not bad he has great potential

I think I'm going to use the ignore list for the first time ever...really tired of reading this incoherent garbage over and over again.
