Elena Ilinykh & Ruslan Zhiganshin

That last lift is beautiful....Should look amazing on the ice. My Russian is a little shaky but the gist of it In the kiss and cry picture they're saying a huge thank you to all their fans. She said the belief in them and strong support gave them a lot of strength and will to to do well for their supporters. Maybe someone can give a more precise interpretation. The picture where she's looking into her cell phone I think says, SPAM, SPAM, SPAM. and apologies for not being on Instagram in a long time? The one where they're flexing their muscles she's saying that they've returned to training.
 
Can you put the links of those pictures, please? :)
I don't have instragam.
 
Thank you so much. :)

I hate selfies. :bang: But anything to see them is just fine! :biggrin::cheer:

That lift looks gorgeous. For their FD I suppose. :cheer:

You're welcome. I might be paraphrasing here but at every kiss and cry when Elena is talking into the camera she is thanking all of their fans and saying how overwhelmed they are with the support they're receiving.
 
Here’s a rough translation from Google and Bing Translator of what Elena posted with the picture of her and Ruslan in the kiss and cry area.

Google Translation:
Dear and loved our fans! We Ruslan want to tell you all thank you so much! Your faith and support us not only felt that it gave us a lot of strength, and wanted to fly all the emotions just to give you! The book with the wishes of all to tears even our coaches, they told us to take it on every start and read before! ))) And now your heart is warmed red bows will ride with us around the world, will be our little mascots! ) Your cards, thank you, we keep all toys !!! We love you very much. And our successful launch would not have been possible without your !!! We'll try to grow in skill and not to let your expectations! Thank you with us!

I don't really have time to do a complete translation. Some highlights

Elena talks about their first try out a bit, that they went in with no illusions. They were going to try and if they looked bad together or their personalities didn't mesh, they saw no reason to go further.

They say they do have different techniques and they are working on meshing, but they were surprised at how well their knees and gliding match.

Ruslan actually gets a few words in on this one, as opposed to other joint interviews where Elena is doing more talking (the CoR press conferences show Elena is the chatty one and he seems happy enough to let her be that way). He praises Elena's positive personality and that the younger girls in Kustarova's group try to emulate Elena. He said that fed officials were often monitoring them over the summer.

That's a beautiful lift in those gym photos. And I like their feedback to fans. They're quickly becoming my favorite ice dance couple.

My wife thinks he should cut his hair shorter to look even hotter. Anyone agree? :dance:

Not me. I think his hairstyle and outfit in the FD was the way to go, he looked quite mature wearing those. Shorter hair doesn't always make one look older - look at Kovtun for example. ;) But I agree that the bangs-like hairstyle he's wearing in the gym pictures makes him appear quite young.
 
Elena needs to attack him with a diffuser to give his hair more volume.

Thanks for the links, Abraxis12345. Interesting that the federation have been so involved with them over the summer.

Yes, such a wonderful coincidence. That means her father's name might be also Ruslan. :biggrin:
