Ice dance teams where the man is the "diva"?

[BlissfulSynergy]

Then why post about them in this thread?

Hmm, you already stated in your post #36 that you haven't read my initial posts about Flores/ Desyatov. My reason for mentioning them in connection with the thread topic, as well as some other pairs and ice dance teams, has been clearly stated more than once. I will continue to praise Flores/ Desyatov's partnership and their achievements as ice dancers when topics arise reminding me of their promising contributions to the discipline.

Awfully testy here today! This is a sport, not a war!!!

 

[surimi]

Most of those I can think of have already been mentioned here. I'll add Georgi Reviya from Kazakova/Reviya, and especially, the one and only Daisuke Takahashi, although Kana was/is a joy to watch also!

Guillaume Cizeron - my justification for this: my husband, (who has very little interest in figure skating and doesn't know many skaters) refers to him as "The Peacock"

 

[AlexBreeze]

My very first thought was Lewis Gibson but he has been mentioned immediately for sure.

I'd add Juho Pirinen though Yuka is diva too. They both are divas!

Another one coming to my mind is Matvei Samokhin (junior ice dancer, the son of Denis Samokhin).

Gibson obviously lol. Pirinen as well.

Just so that you know, Imgur has been blocked in the UK since the end of September. All I can see is a blue box with the message "Content not viewable in your region" in the middle of it.

You see, our communications regulator, OFCOM, wants Imgur to bring in more robust age verification measures to comply with the Online Safety Act that we now have. And Imgur has decided that they would rather pull out of the UK than do this.

The upshot is that those of us in the UK can't view Imgur, or images embedded from it, any more.

Anyway, I just did an image search for Timur, and from the still photos that were displayed, I definitely agree with you!

Ah, sorry, that's a good point. I knew about the law but not about the block.

I just couldn't think of any other way to attach the gif. Now I've changed the source in the post.

No problem. I wasn't sure if anybody overseas would have known. So when I saw what happens for the first time there now, I thought I should use this opportunity to point it out.

It does seem rather silly to apply age verification to a site like Imgur, but hey, what do I know?

Wow! What he is doing in that GIF is absolutely priceless!

It was well worth seeing! So thank you so much for finding an alternative source!

The video clip worked fine in Canada, though.

Samokhin? No way. He is an inferior partner beside Liza Maleina. She is the one that you cannot take your eyes off.

I'm still trying to figure out who Flo/Des is or was.

Maybe you remember them for one thing, as I do, being the first of three teenage marriages between an American girl and her Russian ice dance partner at WASA....

 

[gabriele]

Angelopol comes to mind....

Or he is SA, she is girl whos former partner literally ran away from her and she hyped internet drama about "rescuing" him. As to skating - they were good partnership, they both have skills but nothing extraordinary to flip the ranks.

Oh yes, you are right. That needed to be handled in private and not exploited on social media.

Masaya Morita of UtaMasa? Utana is a bit of a diva too, but I think Masaya wins.
