They are adorable. I really hope Robin can keep working with them, though the logistics may be an issue.
Maybe I'm in the minority, but I liked their SP (and even with my dislike of the LP music, they did a great job selling it, finally). I'm looking forward to seeing them go in a new direction, though. What kind of programs would people like to see them try?

There was also a big article about Nina Mozer and her group in ProSport magazine - prosport-online.ru/longreads/azbuka-mozer
ETA related posts from the V/T cheer thread:Andrei Khekalo works with Evgenia Tarasova/Vladimir Morozov; besides, he is a coach of jump technique. He had worked with single skaters before, at first in Novosibirsk, than in CSKA, and then came to Mozer's group. He says that Vladimir Morozov could do only two jumps when they had just begun to work together, so they had to put a lot of work in jumps. As for Evgenia, she was a single skater before, he already could do all the required jumps, but she had to get used to work with a partner. Apart from Khekalo, T/M are also coached by Robin Szolkowy, who is beginning his coaching career; besides, Trankov worked with them as a choreographer.

Alla Kapranova is a choreographer of Mozer's group. She is very active and energetic, though she had been planning to retire before she was invited to Mozer's group. It was her idea to put Evgenia and Vladimir together in a pair. She says that Vladimir is emotional enough, but Evgenia lacks it for now. She teaches her to express herself, and Evgenia learns quickly.
Thanks for this summary @borzaya! So interesting to hear more details about Tarasova/Morozov. Recently, it seems, people are criticizing T/M for lacking chemistry and charisma (which I don't fully agree with at all, but obviously many people do). So it's interesting that Kapranova feels Evgenia needs to further develop her emotional projection on ice. Better programs will certainly help with this, I'm sure. As well as just more experience.
I don't think T&M are lacking chemistry. They are lacking the confidence, like "I own this ice". The more success they have the more confident they will become. Charisma cannot be taught. Either one has it or one doesn't. However, projection and audience connection can develop, if the right efforts are made. I actually liked their LP last year. Not sure why it was universally criticized. There is a softness in them and it needs to be utilized, rather than discarded.
I am really looking at T&M as the 2022 OGM potential, rather than 2018.
finally someone thinks the same as me!I actually liked their LP last year. Not sure why it was universally criticized. There is a softness in them and it needs to be utilized, rather than discarded.
She absolutely does and it's a complement.Whenever I watch this couple skate she always remind me of Evgenia Shishkova (who i loved) so I have a real soft spot for this team.
Very nice pics, @DobrinFan! One thing I like about this pair is they always look very natural and comfortable with each other in practice and off-ice. There never seems to be tension. And Evgenia smiles a lot! She is a lovely young woman.
I wish they would get better material though. They could really breakthrough with the right programs
i actually preferred Trankov's programs from the previous season!
Gasp You prefer "Hello" to Chopin?
