I'm still waiting for real story Victoria. Please tell us more sordid details of Ruslan. I'm sure she is going to talk about this break up, just after federation accept her partnership. After all there is still danger to skate with Ruslan.
After the Elena Ilinykh's interview, this will be is great opportunity to show your maturity, please whine about Ruslan or Kustarova -Sarcasm-
Marina Zueva knows how to play a tactic games. Like Uhh noticed figure skating is a sport where a reputation plays a big role. I suppose that probably Zueva already gave some advises to Viki and Nikita how to behave and what to say. And frankly they all must be careful. Zueva knows that a couple must have good reputation to get nice marks and to be popular among judges, so she must find an excuse for all this not really straight and fair Nikita’s behaviour. And it will not be easy.
1. Elif is looking forward to some intimate details about Ruslan and Kustarova/Alexeeva. I think that Victoria is not that kind of person who would like to make “dirty“ notes about her ex-partner or coaches. But if she did anything like it than it would crash a split’s reason for the deepest love romance of all times and it would only create two people (Viki and Nikita) who couldn’t stand with their partners who were behaving terribly in their eyes – I must say that this is not looking very cool. And if new couples will be approved, already after 2014/15 season with Lena & Ruslan on the stage like a new couple – the reason for a split thanks to “incompatible behaviour differences“ will look laughably. So, Zueva can hardly use Lena’s wrong attitude in training process like the main excuse for Nikita, because if Lena & Ruslan will compete and if the will be able to defeat Viki & Nikita, both Zueva and S&K wouldn‘t look like the most frank people in the world.
2. If Zueva choses a love romance’s reason…it could work. But thanks to Nikita’s behaviour throught this season, I don’t think that this is the true. It would be easy if it was. But if it is not…Nikita knows how to play a man in love on the ice. But because judges are meeting skaters off the ice too, both Viki and Nikita would have to play love off the ice as well. And if Nikita plans to compete another two Olympic cycles, then they should be in love for eight years at least, if not then people will start to ask why they broke two top couples thanks to summer romance only. Hmm.
3. Zueva can come with the idea that Nikita wanted to train with her, but Lena didn’t want to, so Nikita was forced to split. Would you believe it? No.
4. Zueva and Nikita can ask Lena to quit skating to give them reason why Nikita HAD TO take another partner.
5. Zueva can be quiet about all situation, but I am sure that everybody will ask her, so sooner or later she will be forced to come with some idea. Letting people think that Nikita is a bad boy is not good for levels and GOE.
6. Zueva can say that Russian Federation caused this…..well, then she can forget about any possible financial support from Federation.
7. She can say that Morozov caused all this situation…but how she will explain that Nikita later found Morozov’s dark side and run with new partner to her?…like Darth Vader versus Obi-Wan Kenobi, right?
Frankly I am curious which story will Zueva come with.
