Ilyushechkina and Bilodeau have 'bigger' expectations

[gsk8]

The new Canadian pairs team of Charlie Bilodeau and Liubov Ilyushechkina discuss how they entered into their new partnership, their expectations as a new team, their programs for the 2019-20 figure skating season, and more!

Looking forward to seeing them at Finlandia Trophy, Skate Canada and COC!

I'm really looking forward to seeing them compete - have been a fan of both for quite a few years.

I really enjoyed this interview. Liked how they answered Ted's question about adapting to each other (Charlie said it's about being open with each other, Lubov nodded). And they're taking things from each previous experience and making new things.

When I saw a video of their SP, it seemed to me that they created themselves in a way that looks very different from either one's pairing with their previous partner. Whether they did it purposely or not, I haven't heard them say, but I like their SP and their original "look" of the pair. Can't wait to see their FS too. I like that they picked a singer from Montreal!
