Yeah, I still can't get over her hate for Tutberidze and her team, honestly. She's not the most pleasant person on Earth. But on the other side, a LOT of things she posted before turned out to be correct in the end. Anyway, I guess all we can do now is wait. Hopefully it will be alright.

I`ve read other comments on Russian message boards, that criticised her because of that.
Re Tarasova, I know that she is a legend, but I really start to question if she is the right person to judge objectively how much S/K and I/Z have improved. She made it quiet clear in the last two years that she is backing S/B. It`s one thing for her to judge B/S, who are the reigning National Champion, former European Champion and World medallists. But both S/K and I/Z are direct competition to S/B.
Hopefully the press is only dramatizing this situation and it all gets sorted out.

It wasn't at all. They look great. The injury is not serious. People are panicking for nothing.
Yeah. Hopefully it's a realistic discussion with sponsors, not a decision made already.

These people TAT, Vaitch, they have agenda's so I would take what they say with a very helpful grain of salt. Their talent is undeniable. No matter how this pans out I'm not worried about them in the least. I just want a sneak peak at the FD 
Pretty please?

This development sounds ridiculous. I just hope that no sinister mind is trying to influence the sponsor.
And I hope that Ruslan's injury is really only minor and that they can do their GP events because it's so very important for them at this point in time.

My immediate impression is that I really want to zoom in and get a better angle because we don't get a great view of most of it. I agree that I want more Indian dance, but again we couldn't see a lot of the details, and it's only one section, so here's hoping! Really like the new straight line lift though.

I also needs some more typical moves apart from it the music is pleasant and the mood is just right for them. They gave us just the taste the lifts and the spicy movements are to be shown. I think when I see it all including steps and more moves and all I am gonna love it. I have a good feeling about this program plus Elena mentioned that it is special and like it. And their skate is really good, Elena as always expressive .
And this about the no progress where does it come from.
В отношении Лены и Руслана - зависит исключительно от их собственного прогресса,
которого пока в силу совершенно конкретных причин не наблюдается.
Другими словами, если спонсор решит прекратить финансирование - у него есть для этого основания
I am not a russian speaker but it seems like she said they dont progress due to a certain reason which maybe the injury. This sound like she has no idea what their dances look like and whether they progress. This whole thing is just speculation. Ruslena looks great and their programs also.
Can please someone native translate

Someone on the navka forum posted info from an insider on FSO about Elena and Ruslan. Apparently, they could have skated and done well, but didn`t want to risk anything. They have also new lifts, which they haven`t included yet into the new FD. Here is the link if anyone wants to read it. http://navka-ice-queen.forumisrael.net/t792p260-topic
This is all info from message boards, so no idea if it`s true or not.

Let`s hope for the best. Elena and Ruslan need Igor`s political power, now more than ever. I think it`s fine if they want to spend few weeks here and there with Kustarova, but they absolutely need Igor in that KnC. Russian Ice Dance is so political and I fear Kustarova and their talent are not enough in this case.
I've watched it a few more times, and they are actually using the rhythm from Jai ho quite nicely. The problem is with the amount of stroking they are doing going into the lifts, it makes it all look empty. Hopefully if the FSO report is true, there is more to come there and this is the early version.
