Now that you mention it, you're right! They aren't smiling in ANY of the SD pics, and after rewatching the performance, I can see that their movements are not as fluid as they usually are. Nikita looked off-balance in that one set of twizzles which is weird because every set of twizzles I've seen them do have been bang on minus that set. Hopefully they can clean up the programs before competition starts. I have faith! :cheerleader:

Great to see you back here, Anna! A top ten spot at WorlRAB would be amazing. I think it has a good chance of happening once they get comfortable with the new programs.

I'm interested to see how they do this season.
 
Elena Ilinykh & Nikita Katsalapov #2 ~ Because "how can you not root for a guy named Nikita?"

OK :) I was going to make a batch soon anyways :nod:

Usually I can get the gist of an article using google translate, but this time I have NO clue what it's saying :lol: Thanks Lizy!
 
Elena Ilinykh & Nikita Katsalapov #2 ~ Because "how can you not root for a guy named Nikita?"

Aww, I'm sorry bb :( I hope you'll be feeling 100 percent soon! :) :hug: Um, senior year sucks :lol: Although it does feel better than last year did :lol: But either way, I'm just kinda blah :lol:

I love her too! She is such a bad ass baby vamp! You should join the Candice campaign :D And are you kidding?! Your avis are amazing!! Do you use photoshop?

Same here! I think they totally have the potential for a Top Ten WorlRAB Finish! :nod: Both Marlie and TS finished in top 10 in their first senior worlRAB :D

I'm not too upset that they didn't get an new ex mostly because I definitely have not seen this one enough times yet :) And that tiny kiss at the end was adorable!:sigh:

I do have to admit I didn't think the programs challenged them at all. Their coaches probably wanted to play it safe (I have no idea why) and therefore they are left with programs that are a little bit lack lustre. Hopefully they can keep progressing the programs and make them a little bit more difficult. Their edges are fine as are their elements they just need a lot more speed and intricate footwork if they want to crack the top 10 this season.
 
Elena Ilinykh & Nikita Katsalapov #2 ~ Because "how can you not root for a guy named Nikita?"

Agreed :nod:

You know, I'm quite surprised actually cause I've been reading some of the comments on their new programs on youtube that are in Russian and a lot of people are really disappointed with their programs and think that they could have done way better...
 
Elena Ilinykh & Nikita Katsalapov #2 ~ Because "how can you not root for a guy named Nikita?"

Definitely, and I think they have a pretty good shot at WorlRAB too :nod:

Yep Paul/Islam...yeah, I only saw them skate at Junior WorlRAB, but Mitchell Islam is so freaking hott :thud: I don't even care if they're that bad, I can just stare at him all day :lol:

These two are going to Tokyo first, so it's exactly a month until we get to see them skate! :yay:
 
Elena Ilinykh & Nikita Katsalapov #2 ~ Because "how can you not root for a guy named Nikita?"

Ya, no problem. I don't have twitter either, I just search 'elena ilinykh twitter' or 'nikita katsalapov twitter' and I can see both their pages.
 
Elena Ilinykh & Nikita Katsalapov #2 ~ Because "how can you not root for a guy named Nikita?"

:lol: Yeah, I'm gonna translate that right now cause I don't really understand Google translate...

ETA: Ok, I'm not actually gonna translate word for word cause it's not actually a pleasant review. She said that she thinks these two are very talented but they didn't have a positive effect on her. They've had a long time to clean up the programs and it seemed like they just put the program together a half hour before the show. It wasn't as good as they claimed it would be. They claimed that seniors better watch out, but that's definitely not what it seemed like. They may be able to prepare the programs by Deceraber, but for now it's just quite disappointing...

Here is their ex...looks like it's the same one they had last year:

I've been in a gif-making mood lately. Can you tell? :lol: so if anyone has any requests, just give the youtube link :)
 
Elena Ilinykh & Nikita Katsalapov #2 ~ Because "how can you not root for a guy named Nikita?"

Same :( Hopefully it won't affect his competition too much while they're there...
 
Elena Ilinykh & Nikita Katsalapov #2 ~ Because "how can you not root for a guy named Nikita?"

:/ I hate it when they have to take shots :( I hope it wasn't something too harsh.
 
Elena Ilinykh & Nikita Katsalapov #2 ~ Because "how can you not root for a guy named Nikita?"

Ooh, I hadn't even thought of that yet! I reeeally hope they don't do the one where Nikita had 'scruff' and a kilt :lol::eek: I'd like to see a Jack-and-Diane-esque ex ;)
 
Elena Ilinykh & Nikita Katsalapov #2 ~ Because "how can you not root for a guy named Nikita?"

hey everyone, i'm new to this thread...is it still active? i recently found a 2-part fluff piece on YouTube w/ some of the cutest clips EVER...but of course, not knowing Russian, i can only guess what they're saying. particularly at ~9:20 on the sofa together, and what i suppose are some clips for when they first tried skating together (and fall down! super cute!!):
