Elena Ilinykh & Ruslan Zhiganshin

Good interview. I love the things he refuses to comment on, it's just great. I feel like so many people when they are interviewed feel like they have to answer the question, but he's just like no way I'm talking about that, next!
 
I do love how much Igor leaves certain things to mystery. Everyone wants to know what they are up to and what they are doing. Igor is building anticipation. I like it!
 
Igor sounds like he has long-time plans for IZ even though he isn't sure if they'd be able to stay with him or not. I hope they will.

And it's nice to know that Kustarova and Igor are not the rivals battling for the same team but are eager to cooperate in any way to do the best for the guys.

I'm certain they're staying with him for at least the foreseeable future. The plans he has for them, admittedly huge, will take time to mature. Excited for them.
 
Shout out from Elena to the 2014 COR podium. Funny that they are now all training together :)

With G/P now also changing their SD, I think we will see A LOT of swing next season.

Good interview.

Too bad Lena was ill for a week, travel, stress.... maybe they'll get some vacation in May, after the "interniship" ends.

I'm excited to see what Igor will do with them.

I assume the plan will go something like this (similar to SK with Zueva):

1. Igor has till May to present "improved" IZ or "new IZ" to the Fed (in private or public...)
2. At that point the Fed decides if Igor will really be a benefit to IZ
3. If the Fed is satisfied with their potential with Igor, IZ stay with Igor.
I can't imagine that if Igor repackages IZ and the Fed likes it that they would go back to Kustarova.
4. If the Fed doesn't see any great potential in Igor's repackaging, IZ will go back to Kustarova.

My hope is that Igor will repackage IZ well, I like his style and his approach, so I have full confidence.

Yes. I think they will manage.
 
Frida is the most famous dance this year. I remember also Karenina. And what are the so good even last year Russian almost champions dancing. I can't remember. IZ don't need to change they just need some commercial music and lighter choreography so it can be understand by the so called experts.
 
For me the Russian ID deserve the state that is in. Because of so much interests, public speaking of bulshits for home teams,interests, ill decisions, interests,misjudgement, interests, money,interests,interests. I just hope no more bad things for the good teams. Hope Karma knows it's work.

Did they not know that Bobrova was taking meldonium from fall through the start of winter? Did they really not understand how meldonium is metabolized by the body, given that it was going to be banned come January 1? Do they know what it means to play fair? Are they really that clueless ?? :shocked::palmf::noshake:!! I feel a movie in the making a couple years from now. LOL.

Meldonium got into Bobrova's system sometime between the SD and the FD at Europeans. So the metabolization of the drug wasn't the problem.

I think that the Russian Fed didn't help I/Z much this season. One could say that they should have intervened at an early stage. Maybe they let them have too much artistical freedom, when they'd actually needed more guidance in order to be successful. The scores at the Moldovian Tournament were a huge problem, they thought they were on track when they weren't. Frida didn't grab the attention of the audience and the judges immediatly. I liked the program, but the polish wasn't there.
Igor is a sly coach. And he did change C/B's FS. What I want to say: with a coach like Igor we'll never see a program like Frida again. Good or bad? Everyone's own decision. But the results should get better.

I missed that. Didn't realize she was tested after both. Anyways it's in poor taste to discuss it here so I think I'll just make further comments in the appropriate thread and not here.

As for I/Z let's hope you're right about the better results. :)
