Isabella Tobias & Ilia Tkachenko

Sadly, I know nothing about Isabella as an ice dancer, and have not seen her skate, but....

The wedding made the Sunday Styles section of the NY Times; The Olympic Gold Medal of wedding reporting!

Okay... what has happened to them? I noticed they withdrew at last minute from Skate America, and now I just saw that Ilia's citizenship has been denied (back in November, but I'm only just seeing). Have they split up or something? Injury? I notice they're not on the roster for Europeans either.

edit: Now I'm doubly confused. No news articles, no instagram or twitter acounts, their fb account hasn't been updated since April. It's like they've disappeared.

Princessroja - They split up as the Olympics were their goal, so they obviously see no point in continuing.

Wow. To my mind that's a bit sad--none of the rest of their career counted for anything? I know the Olympics are important and all, but... there's a lot more to skating than just that. Oh well, what's done is done. Wish them the best in their future endeavors.

I do not know why he was denied citizenship, but maybe she thinks he did not try enough.
