From Russia With Love - 2012 Off Season

[eurodance2001]

Anymore semi-porny pics on Twitter of Tatiana and Trankov? Those two are HOT and I'm sure can't keep their hands off each other..

[Hedwig]

ugh, this is over the line. These skaters are no pornstars for you but human beings.

She is a coach in Stockholms KK, Sweden.

Thanks. Does it mean Obertas and Slavnov are not together anymore? I thought they were a couple off the ice when they were skating together. Obertas left her earlier partner to skate with Slavnov because they were a couple, I think. It's such a pity that move did not work out.

I think Obertas is married to a former skater.Maybe I'm wrong..

Julia Obertas is married to Radek Horak. He used to compete in singles for the Czech Republic.

Can Mukhartova & Slavnov pair up together and train for the Olympics in 2018? I think 2014 is out of reach at this point.

They won't because they know it'd be extremely unlikely for them to make the Euro/World/Olympic teams so why bother when they now have a job that probably pays decently.

I thought he was already a father.

Tesla: Plushenko has one child from his 1st marriage. Now he and his second wife Jana are expecting a baby.

Hopefully this child can find a happy home with both parents. Good luck to them.

YAY! I'm so happy for them if it's true!

After everything both of them have been through with their children, it would be lovely to see them get the chance to settle down and have a family.

Her name is now Julia Horak. They are both coaches in Stockholms KK, Sweden. Although I only have seen Radek at the biggest competitions in Sweden there I has been a judge.

Yana's lawyer confirmed it in an interview!

Plushy and Yana are expecting their first child!

As far as I know, she doesn't say when, but it's very exciting for them anyway!

MK: It is said, Yana Rudkovskaya and Zhenya Plushenko are expecting a child, is it true?
Tatiana Akimtseva (Yana's lawyer): Yes, we are all so happy for them!

Thanks for the article. They are my team to watch. They were amazing last season and I'm hoping for an even better season this year. They look so good together on the ice. I'm pleased to read about their work ethic. I really hope it serves them well and they keep their eye on 2018. They have plenty of time to become a top pairs team.

[oleada]

Same here. They have so much potential.

They seem to be really well matched and have a great work ethic. I personally liked that they saw that their programs were pretty empty and are working on adding new transitions. I'm intrigued by their long program choreographed by Irina Zhuk! Nice to see pairs use ice dance choreographers.

If they do go to Lake Placid...it isn't THAT far from NYC....

I might try to get up there as well (I'm also from NYC). Do you know how to get up there without the use of a car?

I've bumped up the 2012 Lake Placid JGP thread for people who would like to discuss travel options and plans in case they are considering attending the competition : http://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/showthread.php?t=82842

“After Junior Worlds, they rested a little, because the upcoming season will be even harder, more loaded than the past one,” noted Dobroskokov. “We did two new programs right away, using different choreographers.”

Nikolai Morozov did the short program, while Irina Zhuk created the long program. The skaters, however, aren’t ready to reveal their music choices.

, I hope I wont see some more emptier program then
why do they keep flocking to Morozov, I can never understand his appeal
