This is a better quality video of their SD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZV2zr60Wow

I have to say that today I was looking Ruslan mostly. He was rock solid and great in his performance.

Thank you Alba this one is much better. Elena and Ruslan are just fantastic again!! I kept praying for them to win SD. After seeing that great score, now I have more confidence that they will win the title tonight!

They look fantastic. Has there been some vocals added to their FD?

Wow I much prefer her hair like that!

Me too, I think this would work better for the Free.
Keep the wild curls for the SD though, they make her look 100% like the incarnation of Carmen.

Wow they look really good. Man I can pick up about my house these two have it locked (I hope and pray). One would have thought that they have been skating together for years.

I'm just.... it's been only 8 months, the stress, the hard work, the wrecked nerves from what happened...And they could stand there with couples of years together, being completely exhausted from the GPF...
I'm so proud of them really!

I was so happy to be able to watch them do this! I have loved them as a team from the start! To have certain people cut them down and for them to rise up against all odds and become National champions in 8 months! I cried. Love this team!

I see nothing wrong with their twizzels. Who said there was something wrong in the FD topic. What am I missing?
