OMG they look great. If once this is all over they decide they want to get together and have supremely gorgeous babies, I'd be on board with that...

We better not force the guys... I guess :laugh:

We will. They need this break. They have been running non stop since the beginning.

Sometimes I think they were in that kind of survival kind of show, you know keep going until you literally get exhausted.

I agree with that. I mean they had little breaks here and there but I think they are a Tuk type of exhausted.

I know we've had our different opinions about the SD, but Frida was thought to be extraordinary by most of the fans here. And respectfully the diversity at Europeans especially in the top 5 teams is woefully lacking now IMHO, with the exception of C/L. But most importantly why would you want to leave a comment like that in a fan thread? Not very positive I'd say.

Sorry... I didn't mean to be a downer... Maybe because I had misgivings about their music choices this year from the beginning.... I let that negativity take over...

Sorry I put it in the fan thread

:love:

I`ve watched some of the SD vids from Euros and while I like some other couples, there is something missing without Elena and Ruslan. I also think that this break could be a good thing for them. I`m just glad that the Waltz season is soon over. I`m ready for the Blues! :biggrin:

I think they can do a really great waltz though. They just chose not to be traditional this time around. The next time that pattern comes along or a similar waltz they'll be ready.

As for the European Ice Dance competition, I did miss Ruslena, because, well, it is nice to have someone to really root for. But, honestly, don't kill me, with this year's programs, I don't think they would have added much to the field or made things more exciting.

I think theywould have added a lot to the field and made the competition much more exciting. IZ' Frida is much better than SK and SB uninspiring FDs.
 
I agree. Maybe not in the SD which never quite clicked, but the FD would have brought so much more than all the bland P/C knock offs. The thing that is really missing from ice dance compared to even 4 years ago is that only a handful of teams bother with thinking about an artistic vision, and the judges certainly don't bother to reward it any more.

artistic vision and complexity I would add.
 
They haven't announced anything yet, but the federation statement after Nats was that they expect people finishing out of the top 3 at Nats to do the Russian Final because they want to make it a more important event. So I guess they will and then focus on next season.

I hope they decline it and work towards next season. If Euros showed us anything, it was that the judging at Nationals was a joke. Russian Cup does not deserve their presence.

She said in that last periscope broadcast with her friend that they probably will do the Russian Cup Final.
