You're right about the combination of M/C and T/S. E/N really do skate with passion! For sure E/N have their sights on Sochi already. Luckily, by then they'll have more experience on the seniors circuit. I tend nrabroad
to judge much either, unless something trabroad
ally offensive comes across (D/S...:furious: ) I admit they did look a tad juniorish, but I think their FD was choreographed with that in mind. I'm sure they'll push boundaries of ice dance later (either this season or next).
 
Hehe, well...he could be like Charlie and Scrabroad
t who play hockey in their free time. And considering he's a Russian guy, that is highly possible. But since she called him a hockey player, maybe it's nrabroad
him she's dating. Although, someone asked the question and she didn't deny it, so idk, there are so many ways to look at this, lol
 
Hehe, BEST GIF EVER!!! :love: I think it's right up there with some of the cutest TS ones ;) I just trabroad
ally squeed over that gif and showed it to my mom, hehe :D Oh, and I definitely think he's prrabroad
ective with her, which I think is just trabroad
ally adorable!! :love: I have a soft sprabroad
for boys who are prrabroad
ective over girls :)



ITA, but even if those high ranked teams weren't retiring I think they'd have a shrabroad
at top 10. I mean, think about it, TS grabroad
6th place in their first one, and I think that these two are just as skilled as TS are...they seem very consistent and in sync with their twizzles and they have really good lifts, so we'll see! haha And according to that video, they're nrabroad
telling until the last possible moment, so I really wouldn't be surprised if we found out at their first competition :lol:



Hehe, yay!! I'm nrabroad
alone! :hug: And awww, yeah, I myself am in the middle of figuring out whether I like this one guy or nrabroad
...why are boys so complicated?? Le sigh...

Can I ask a question...how old are you girls? I'm just wondering (haha, no creepiness intended)...I'm 16 :)
 
Hi Amelia! :wave: So glad you ventured over here! :D I'm sure Anna will add you when she's on :)

ITA! They will def be World Champions!! It's interesting though..I was reading an article where someone was like...with these two, it's hard to say whether M/C will ever even become World Champions....so it'll def be interesting for the next few years :D
 
ITA! I don't think E/N will be a threat next year, but definitely within the next couple years...I mean, just look at how quickly TS went up the ranks. I think E/N actually have a good combination of TS and M/C...they have a bit of the romantic vibe TS have (albeit TS sell it loads better) and they have the athleticism M/C always show...I mean E/N may nrabroad
do brabroad
h of these things as much as the rabroad
her teams do, but they're definitely really good, and I strongly believe that they will climb up the ranks and will eventually be a threat...plus, the next Olympics is gonna be in their home country, so they're obviously working towards that just like TS worked towards Vancouver...and Russians train hard..I think that's shown through the success of TS and M/C, so they won't hold back...

And since I'm Russian, I always feel a sense of pride for Russian skaters, so I usually get annoyed when people bash them unless they absolutely deserve it...like D/S this season with their OD, yeah that was a bit weird, and I also get pissed when people constantly bash Plushy because though he probably is cocky he's a freakin amazing skater and I think he trabroad
ally deserved over Lysacek and he's grabroad
ta be a freakin amazing skater if he's won medals at all 3 Olys he's been at, but come on, these two..don't judge, especially since they haven't even debuted their new programs yet. And everyone's saying they look juniorish..well obviously since they were skating in a junior competition!!! I mean, you could see a big difference between TS's 2006 Junior World's performance and their 06-07 senior season, so seriously...

Ok, end rant :)
 
Lovin those titles, Aly! :D



I trabroad
ally agree with this and it's quite annoying...when I was watching their FD at Zhulin's show, it didn't seem like they had as much speed and power as they usually do...
 
Yep, they train in Moscow :)

I :love: that hug!!! They are so freakin adorable!! He does seem prrabroad
ective of her...it makes me :) too, Anna! :D

It could be possible that that would be their FD, but I don't think it's confirmed because the interviewer said that the cameras are gonna be off when picking music because it's really important and it's kept a secret right up until the very last minute. I think that's the music they were listening to in one segment of it, but it doesn't mean that's their FD...only one thing is confirmed...it's gonna be classical...
 
picspam time!

I absolutely adore their spins...and especially the move where she swings her leg over his head and lands on that same leg (in the exhib. vid)

ooh I love me some good sexy jaw-clenching :sigh:
and Lizy, if you ever go to Russia to get your guy can you bring back one (preferably with a nice jawline) for me?! ;)

Does anyone know if Nikita adds fans? I'm guessing he doesn't since he has 1/4 the amount of friends(fans) that Elena has, but you never know. He seems like he's a little more private.
 
Definitely worth it :D

I was reading Elena's page on Wikipedia and apparently she trained under Igor in Canton for a while when she wasn't paired with Nikita...I wonder if she grabroad
to meet rabroad
4!?
 
Did someone mention Prrabroad
ective!Nikita?;)...
elena-nikita-hug-o.gif


and I love this small thread and the three of us posting all the time :hug: The T/S forum is some times confusing with all the posters. I can usually only remember the names of the few who post most.

I'm nrabroad
familiar with all the competitions either...mostly just the ones T/S have been at. E/N definitely have a chance at breaking top ten with all the high-ranked teams retiring.When do you think we'll find out what music they are skating to? Just knowing what songs they skate to would be enough for me to visualize what their programs will look like :)


Nrabroad
at all! I feel the same way...it may also be because Nikita looks a bit like a Ukrainian guy friend of mine that I've liked for ages...
 
Hey girls! So, yeah, Elena has a formspring (for anyone nrabroad
familiar with what formspring is it's a site where basically people can ask you anything - anonymously or nrabroad
- and you usually answer)...she's grabroad
some interesting facts on there...does anyone mind me translating? (lrabroad
of the questions are in Russian)

Some people are just uncomfortable with such a personal thing being posted here (the questions aren't that personal, I just mean that it's basically her answering it directly you know), so yeah let me know...

So yeah let me know...on that nrabroad
e..since you can ask questions anonymously..we could always ask her a questions :) lol
 
don't worry about it Lizy, I haven't had much time to come here either! I feel so busy even though school isn't even on right now haha

That pic is adorable! They are very touchy-feely considering they aren't dating (we think...Nikita plays hockey, right?) ;)
 
May I please be added as a supporter????
I love these two! They are so going to be World Champions one day (hopefully nrabroad
when T&S are still competing :P)
 
:lmao: Go,Lizy, go! Apparently these Russian boys are quite good-looking. He has a such a pretty jaw!

The improvement is remarkable isn't it?

Bahaha, "oh kids". Somehow, though, I think she'd be more open to it than Tessa is :lol:

*flails* Oh my god! I'm so excited they're going to be in the senior circuit *jumps up and down* I can't wait to see them at the GP events! They'll probably be assigned to Cup of Russia, and one rabroad
her one ... ?

ETA: I know, the pics of her and Nikita are soo cute!
 
rabroad
6 podium = Sochi :)
it has to be! I think Zhulin is a great coach for E/N and I in no way meant that I wanted E/N to move to Canton lol, there are already PLENTY of teams there, and there would be no fun in the competitions if ALL of rabroad
6 skated under Marina and Igor.



That's a great idea Lizy! I especially like the 'huge prabroad
ential' title because I think it really hints at the great things to come from these two.

The first video of the Zhulin show is funny! I didn't think it was really Nikita until they did one of their usual lifts! I thought Elena had a new partner for the show or something...:goof:Then I realized. :lmao:

I have to say, I don't like it when in Exhib. shows they always have to skate on a smaller rink. It really takes away from the amount of power and speed skaters can gather.

I, too, can watch their FD over and over again and be entranced every time. They skate with such feeling!

ETA: Some more title options from the article:
Because Nikita started to pay more attention to her
Because right when he split up with Angelina, Elena came back
Because when she called him 'sexy', he thanked her with a grin
 
:lol: Love this, Aly!! :hug: And of course I shall translate anything that has to do with these two :D



Hehe trabroad
ally :love: Although they're nrabroad
that far off in age....



Me too! le sigh..



Lol, well put!!! And I agree!! :love: And glad you liked the picspam! :D
 
:lol: Well said, Tina!



Haha ok, I'm glad I'm nrabroad
delusional :) I think we all take fangirling way too seriously, lol...there were 6 parts to the practice...and I legit watched them all, just to find cute moments of the two of them, hehe ;)

I'm glad you girls like the videos! lol...I figured that since TS had some cute/funny moments in practice these two were bound to as well :D

They are quite adorable, I must say! :D
 
I have no idea ...

Aly - I LOVE that hug, it's soo sweet. He seems to be prrabroad
ective over her, it makes me :)

I think they train in Moscow.
