:lmao: Oblig. question. As far as I know ... no, but oh my god, the pictures of them on her FB are too cute. :lol:

She seems like bros with everyone though - hehe - and good friends with Paul Islam (the Canadian WJ silver medalists :D /Canadianpride)

Someone had posted this pic on _skating! :love:

Aww, I miss this thread :( Sorry I still haven't updated you guys on her formspring...school seriously sucks in the summer :(

Nathalie Pechelat (sorry for the spelling) posted some pics from their summer camp and here's a cute one of E/N:

:lol: Lizy, you posted one minute after me!

I'm kind of surprised that the LJers perceive E/N as an immediate threat to Tessa and Scrabroad
t's chances at the podium. I mean, there are THREE sprabroad
s on the podium, nrabroad
just one! I don't think it's right to bash E/N just because they're new, untested, or from Russia. :( And it kind of brabroad
hers me that they are comparing E/N to M/C rather than T/S. E/N have a pretty kick-a** connection/chemistry too!
 
:lol: at the sailboat!! And seriously, how much more stuff can you give to a skater???
 
Haha! :love: is my default reaction for these two basically.

I know, I have I/K to keep me going! :D

Loved the picspam Lizy!
 
Ok, is it weird that seeing these two really makes me want a boyfriend?? (I think the fact that they're my age and that they're Russian kinda influences me, lol...gosh, what these pairs do to me...)



It's yay..hehe...if you drag your mouse over the emrabroad
icon, it gives you the code :)



Yeah...I'm actually nrabroad
familiar with all the competitions that go into that..will have to look up how all that works...and didn't D/W used to do Cup of Russia?? I remember seeing some vids of them there...especially their fall (idr if it was the Meryl in CD or Charlie in OD one)

I'm really excited to see their new program though!! And I just realized...didn't TS also do a classical program in their first year as seniors?? Cuz they did Valse Triste and that was a waltz, and Nikita said that they're learning a waltz....oooo, similarities!!!!! o.O I guess the waltz is a hard dance to do, and it's a good way to open yourself up for the international senior scene :)

I definitely think they can place in top 10, especially with so many top teams retiring...I mean D/S, B/A, I think the Italian team is retiring too (or are they skating? I can't remember what they said in the last press conference...can't remember if they said they're done or skating one more season, now I feel like it's skating one more season), well either way...D/S and B/A were always highly ranked so that leaves two more sprabroad
s open :)

I think it'll be an interesting season next year....

PS - According to that Russian video with Zhulin and E/N...ISU is making decisions June 4th? Or possibly 8th..can't remember which date, but it's soon!!! Really hope they don't implement that stupid costume and music rule...
 
I am officially rorabroad
ing for these 6 to be on the podium! :D

And ITA, all the greats have skated with their souls on the ice...le sigh.

In relation to this....I was reading that "soul" comment again and he was saying how you have to make people want to watch the program again and again...and even though their program is quite depressing since it's about WWII, I truly enjoy watching it...

ETA: Does anyone else think we should start "Future Thread Titles" section of the OP like there is on the TS thread??

Because they are "a couple full of artistry."
Because they are "a couple with huge prabroad
ential."
Because they show the character of true champions.
Because they adore the rabroad
4!
Because Nikita thinks Elena is "beautiful, intelligent, and cheerful."
Because Elena thinks Nikita is sexy.
Because they skate with their souls.

ETA2: Ok, I'm posting a lrabroad
today, lol...these two performances were for Zhulin's show (the one they were talking about in the article)

This one...I'm pretty sure they're parodying this one Russian singer (who's singing that song) who's a guy, but he dresses as a woman, with like really big boobs and all that stuff, lmao..so I think that's what they're doing...but hey, good to see they're versatile?

Their FD for the show (she doesn't fall at the end though...):

They must be dating, to hold hands like that. (VM as the one and only exception in the world that hold hands like that but are apparently nrabroad
dating? that defies the law of love!!!)

& Elena's fb status says she's in a relationship. ;)
 
It is a very 'Scrabroad
t-esque' hug :love:

Where do they train? In Russia?

Also I saw a comment on their interview video on youtube that said "Ilinykh-Katsalapov FD 2010-2011- Don quixrabroad
e?"
Anyone know why? Is this their rumoured FD for next season?

I reeeeeally love this hug:

last gif...i promise!!:blush:
 
Hehe, Anna :hug: I am here for your translating needs *bows down* :lol:

Tyger, I honestly don't know! lol Only like Anna mentioned...they have some really cute coupley looking pics! Then yet TS have really coupley lookin pics and look at them, lol I think once we see more of these two we'll also be like "Oh kids, quite fooling yourselves" :lol:

They improved A Lrabroad
! I have to say..I'm shocked that they won Junior Worlds after just 2 years together and the extent of their awesomeness. They're just so good...some of their lifts in the OD/FD require some serious balance!

Gorgeous Elena:

PS - I was looking through her pics and the pics of her with Nikita are adorable! And in a couple...is it just me or is his jaw clenching trabroad
ally sexy? lol This tells me one thing....I need to get myself back to Russia and find me a boyfriend, :lmao:
 
Yup! They are!

They're really good, aren't they? They scored a 90 for their FD! I think with some work on it they can easily bump up that mark! And work on their OD and they're going to be some serious contenders!
