Ekaterina Bobrova & Dmitri Soloviev

Twizzles were awful, not as awful as Sinitsina/Katsalapov's, but still their worst twizzles of the season. The distance between them was inconsistent and more than two arms length, and synchronisation on the second set was more than half-rotation off. BUT I just LOVE their dance jump into the twizzles, looks amazing.

As for Partial Step Sequence, it was not their best of the season too. However, still very good.

I'm happy they were clean. And I'm not upset, because I'm SURE even with all level 4s they would still be behind Sinistsina/Katsalapov (who has the skate of their life, by the way), for a reasons I'm not gonna mention in this thread :)



Well, it's Nationals. No surprises here. The Euros with international panels will be more objective.
I really hope you are right about ECh judges. My heart is broken now by the way, Katya and Dima should have been 1st after short dance. And with 3 points seperating and fd being SK's higher score dance the whole season. It would need a miracle forr them to bounce back tomorrow.
 
I got the same impression. I think they have to fight for their FD to be the best and just hope to get as close as they can to S/K. The rest can be battled outside of Russia.

Yes. I think the order will not change after the FD. Of all top 4 teams. Unfortunately.

So I just watched the replay, and it seems to me they got all key-points correctly executed. So I guess it's all level 4s except for PSt, which is level 3. The twizzles probably got 0 Goe bonus. Still, I'm glad technically they were good again :)

I'm glad too, they are on their fifth competitive SD this season and they were all without mistakes. I think this is really what they need.

And about the top 4, I don't think it's going to change too, unless there's a big mistake from any of the teams.
 
YES!!!!!!!!!

Five competitions and ten clean skates! I'm so happy for them and I really hope much more good things come to them this year. Really really happy!:drama:

Video for those who didn't see.
 
Congratulation to Dima and Katia`s 6th National title! :)

And from now on I will listen and believe to Snow63`s forecasting power! :laugh:
 
and important thing is that they skated before their main competition in both dances. Even Tarasova said it limits the scoring potential :) I'm so happy, you all have no idea.

You have every right to be. They went through hell these past two seasons and are now Russian National Champion. I just checked on wikipedia and they are the team with the most national titles since they introduced Ice Dancing in 1993 at Nationals :)
 
I've never been a fan of them but I'm very happy for them after the struggles they've had. Also, so very happy they keep S/K from gold.
 
So happy for B/S. Congratulations on the gold. They're such a reliable, gorgeous team. Their FD has also grown a lot from competition to competition.

I'm so glad that they're able to continue as the No.1 Russian couple considering all the stuff they've faced this year.
 
Well done to my loves :love: I was sure they could do it, and I'm overjoyed for them!! Can't wait for Euros!
 
If Stepanova/Bukin will got to Euros instead of Ilinykh/Zhiganshin, then Bobrova/Soloviev will skate in last warm-up group!
 
:hap93: :cheer: :hap93:

Yes. Katya and Dima are Russian champions again!!!!

I am so happy. I just hope Dima's leg improves :(
 
Has he said he's still having problems?

Right after FD he said he slept badly because his knee hurted a bit. He told nothing to anyone, including Katia, before the event.
