From Russia With Love - Winter 2012/13

[sykr]

Can you just tell us what he did? I don't understand Russian. I can see him dancing in the video but I have no idea what this is about.

As far as I know, he was joking on his twitter, saying something like "if this tweet gets 2012 retweets before 12/12/2012 I will dance in the skirt on the Red Square in order to save the Earth" (before the 21/12) or something similar. He got 2000 retweets in less than 6 hours, so he had to go Latter, he did the full clip featuring this "dance", his meeting with fans and also Marina....and created probably the most famous Russian remake of Gangnam style. The clips are really crazy, but they do actually nothing bad to anyone and as far as I know, the videos are quitte popular on russian internet

As for the giving birth videos,... I was quitte shocked, because, exactly as Asli said, Marina used to be a private person. But the comment about uterus is simply ridiculous. Sorry, but the only delicate thing you can see are her breasts while breast-feeding.

I can't say I appreciate all those videos,...otoh when I watch some of recent Marina's photoshoots with her familly, I'm really happy for her, she's really shining I will send some exemples where it belongs, to not continue the off topic

Interview with Elena Ilinykh
Highlight is that she called Bobrova and Soloviev the second Russian pair. Love the shade.

Bwahaha.

For those that are interested she said North America is familiar and comfortable.

I don't like that Morozov told them it was too early to start working hard for Worlds. Blah.

I read it more as the 'other pair of Russia' not necessarily the second.

[Katarzyna]

I read it more as the 'other pair of Russia' not necessarily the second.

But like in English there is a different word for other in Russian language ("другой"), the term she used ("второй") definitely means the 2nd and not the other. So even if she didn't use that term intentionally, I think it gives you an impression how Elena Ilinykh perceives the ranking between both teams.

Do you think it was deliberate? She really thinks they are the first pair?

[caseyedwards]

They won the Euros free skate!

[lala]

But they didn't win the whole competition...and the Rus Nat..

[kwanfan1818]

Single axel is not an illegal element in the SP.

It's not illegal, in that there is zero value given for it, but for senior Ladies and Men, a double or triple axel is required in the SP, and a single axel gets automatic GOE of -3, which nets to almost nothing. In the FS, an "axel type jump" is required, and that can be a single axel.

[caseyedwards]

Worlds 2012 is still in effect and that is where number one could come from.

[kwanfan1818]

They won the Euros free skate!

And they're qualified.

[casken]

This is probably what she meant. They are still the number one ranked Russian team from last year's worlds.

Which means absolutely nothing, of course.

Anyone know if Averbuch has a new show.? I saw a clip of him in a press conference with Navka and Kostomarov and an older lady don't know who she was

Surely, that older lady couldn't have been Tarasova? I presume that you would recognize her . As for the show, I don't know - although in some interview Tarasova talked about some show that (only) probably was going to happen if only Channel 1 would give it the green light.

[nuge]

Definately not TarasovaLooked more like Dubova but then again haven't seen her for years
Navka/Kostomarov look glum.

It's not about a TV show. It's about one of the shows in their Russian tour.
