"New Ice Age is "picking" up pairs

In an environment of secrecy at one of Moscow's indoor rinks the first participants ,of one of the most popular Russian TV show - "Ice Age , are already training for the new season ".

The Management of Channel 1 has decided that this would be the final season of the show. And gave one goal to the head of the program, Ilia Averbukh : to make it brilliant and memorable .

At this time on the ice will see the best members of past 3 seasons. Their final list have not yet been approved - and the star athletes just look at each other, choosing a pair.
Alexei Tikhonov has three candidates: Anna Bolshova ,Alisa Grebenshchikova, with whom he had skated in the past seasons, and Ekaterina Guseva - former partner of Roman Kostomarov.


As we learned ,Guseva is the one with whom Tikhonov is training most of the time.
They became friends while shooting "Hot Ice", which successfully went on the First Channel.

For now ,Roman Kostomarov, Alexei Yagudin and Maxim Stavisky are cutting circles on the ice alone.
- By mid-August, all pairs should be determined, and will begin full training - told us Ilia Averbukh. - And since all the participants already have experience of skating - I think by September, all numbers will be worked out and ready to shine."

I guess is too early to say anything but according to interview with Ilia Averbukh some of the pairs are :

Navka/Basharov
Lobacheva/Marianov
Berezhnaya/Galustyan
Volochkova/Marinin
Yagudin/Lanskaya

http://www.1tv.ru/ice2/prp=0&pi=32753

(Google translation of the interview but only the part about Ice Age)

- Tell me about the secrets of the new ice show. Maybe it will be some new ideas,'s ideas?

- Of course, the basic idea - it is no secret. We decided to complete the four-year project, therefore, conceived to gather the maximum of the best artists and skaters. On the one hand, it is a little easier because the guys already have a base of skating, they should not be taught from scratch, but on the other hand, more complicated, because each of them raised their bar, everyone loved and everyone needs to back something to surprise .

- Who is going to, if not a secret of the old staff?

- Tatiana Navka and Marat Bashar. Michael Galustyan come on the ice, however, with Elena Berezhnaya and not with Masha Petrova.

- Will the sensational newcomers?

- Anastasia Volochkova. You'll see how easy it will raise a new partner Maxim Marinin, and understand how they look harmonious.

- And what about the top? Talked about Tina Kandelaki, and about Ksenia Sobchak ...

- We keep the intrigue leading up to the end. Final decision is pending. But Nastya Zavorotniuk remain in the draft. We have already tried several times to her as a pit. But we really liked each other and managed during the project to make friends. I know that there are people who like Nastya, there are those who hate it. And just as ambivalent attitude to her appearance in the show. But I think that from program to program it more and more poured into our project. Now it looks very organic.

- A nominated were still being discussed?

- Certainly, the fact that Marat Basharov becomes an skaters, for which I am very grateful to him, because I believe that to lead a project much easier than to create, invent something, I would really like to Vanya Urgant led our project. Or Sasha Tsekalo. Because they are erudite, bright, talented people. But the decision on this matter, I do not agree, but the leadership of the First Channel.

- And when the discussion partners, there was no such. Anyone refusing to stand up in pairs?

- No, my position is quite tough. For all my gentle and smiling, I quite authoritarian inside. Naturally, we wish to coordinate skater and an artist: if they have a profound antagonism, of course, no one put them in a couple of force will not be. All the rest: who will lead the show, who would sew costumes, who will make the music, set dancing, practice - is not within their competence, there are certain rules of the project for which you should play, if you entered into him, or abandon it.

- Tatiana Tarasova will remain in the jury?

- I believe that she remains a pillar of this project. It will always be my idol in skating and will always be the man at the sight of which my heart begins to pound and worry. Because it is the rod of figure skating. In terms of relations with her people ... I absolutely do not care what they think. I respect her immensely, because it is a true professional. By and large its stunning artistry, which keeps the whole atmosphere here, in many ways helps the project stay afloat for so long. And despite the fact that we are having some conflicts that sometimes it seems to me that there are couples that deserve higher marks, I know: it is like the doggy Мoska barking at the elephant, where I am the doggy while Tatiana Anatolievna is the elephant ( i guess he meant this Russian cartoon ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49QjFQsnonU

[Kasey]

I thought Denkova was pregnant also?? Of course, I guess Lobacheva is and is skating, so maybe in this show it doesn't matter much.

Albena is pregnant?
Irina Lobacheva is pregnant?
I'm completely out of the loop.

[Amy L]

Irina Lobacheva said she's not pregnant in another interview (see the Trash Can) and thinks someone in the media got her confused with Maria Petrova.

[Kasey]

I may be confused with all the skater pregnancies, I thought I had read Denkova was also, but probably am wrong.

[vivika1982]

No,Kasey,you are right about Albena.There was an article in one of the Bulgarian yellow internet saits and then few more copy pasted the info but is not true.
