It's unclear which country Tobias will represent but the rumours are that it's not Russia.

Bukin should cease this opportunity

I didn't see that one coming!
Well, given that Isabella couldn't get Lithuanian citizenship, I had a bad feeling the partnership with Deividas would end. But I didn't see the Riazanova/Tkachenko split coming!
It'll be interesting to see what countries they end up representing.
I assume Isabella and Ilya will go for Russia, as it will be easier if only 1 of them has to apply for citizenship. (I can't see them going the other way, using Isabella's American nationality). But, given that one of them has an Italian name and the other a Ukrainian name, there might be other options...
Kate and Jonathon both have Russian citizenship, and competed for Russia when they were last partners. But there are far too many good Dance couples in Russia now. So, could we see them representing Jonathon's country of birth, Australia?
Also, any word on what is happening with Kate Push?

Bukin supposedly also has a difficult character and Bestemianova and Bukin have both said that he and Elena would be a disaster together. Rumor has it that Stepanova apparently is the only one he can get along with on a daily basis.
Tobias has Lithuanian citizenship, she received it in December & T/S competed in Sochi. They'd be much more likely to be able to compete internationally for Lithuania over making it out of Russian Nationals & could compete as early as Europeans next year if Tkachenko gets his release from Russia.

Not just based on them skating together, he went through a lot of partners before settling with Stepanova. I think Elena & Ivan would look great together, but that doesn't matter one bit if they can't work together, and after her partnership with Nikita it would be totally understandable if Elena wanted a partner without any diva tendencies. And anyway this is moot, as as far as we know, he still has a partner.
Interesting! So Tarasova is speaking out against Morozov? I guess they are no longer on good terms. It's strange the way this has worked out because she taught him everything he knows - he started out under her wing and she trained him to be the coach he is today. She comes right out and says that Morozov broke up I&K!

Well, if Elena dumped him, wouldn't this be the perfect revenge?
No we still have old faithful B/S. Whoever said that just plain being nice can get you places was genius. Talent and hard work also help

I wonder what's happening with Stagniunas, if Tobias is with Tkachenko. Retirement? Funny that Tobias just got Lithuanian citizenship and then the partnership with him ended. Maybe Stagniunas can skate with Heekin-Canedy if he's not retiring, although I'm not sure for where.
There is still Bobrova-Soloviev, Mońko-Khalyavin and Stepanova-Bukin.
