After watching the Challengers these last weeks, i`m waiting IMPATIENTLY for I/Z`s Bollywood program. I had hopes that after last season, the top teams would change it up a little bit, especially since it`s not an Olympic season. Instead we see one safe program after the other. Concerning music choices, Elena and Ruslan seem to be again the only team to have taken any risk this season, at least for the Free Dance, but I`m hopeful that they will bring some spice and style into Ice Dance. I don`t know how many more generic dances I can stomach, tbh.

Yesterday during Free program of Junior ladies Annika Hocke reminded me Elena and later I happened to watch Slumdog Millionaire in TV, and now I miss Ruslena twice as much. It's so boring in Ice Dance right now.....

9 more days until Skate America!

The ISU bio updated, but it says Tango Selection by Piazzolla for the FD - that must be a mistake, right? It sounded like everyone was good with Bollywood at the test skates, and why would they change to the same thing that two other Russian teams are doing already?
Oops - posted at the same time as Marta! Seriously, I'd been shocked if this is legit. More likely that whoever enters data at the ISU mixed them up with another team. Blues/Swing & Piazzolla is exactly what S/K are doing.

I think the ISU made a mistake. With 2 other Russian teams doing tangos, I doubt they would do one. Why be boring when you can be fun

The RFED would literally be the laughing stock of the ID community. Puhlease people

I'm a bit concerned that they are no longer with Igor and that Kustarova is now their full time coach

Is that official? There seems to be a lot of speculation right now about their coaching situation.

Obviously it is written in the ISU bio, but is that really true?

During the test skate they also said they have to talk with Igor about their stay in Moscow, but if they are not in USA already and he hasn't worked with them after the test skates maybe he is no longer their coach or at least not currently or at least not their main coach. Of course they can have long distance (skype) arrangements but the question is are they in USA or not?

According to Skoptcova's ask they are still in Moscow, but if they are really leaving Igor I would accept of the Fed to announce that since they officially switched to Igor back in May.
