Mozgov is quite hot. Could he be good with Elena?

Um, no. They would look even more mismatched than Penny and Nick

Really like this interview. So much softer than he seems to be. I think also that he's generally right about all he said!
Oh no - this is terrible news. But I guess it explains why they looked so bad this season. After hearing people rave about them in juniors, I was looking forward to their senior debut. But they looked sloppy and under-prepared. If they had a lot of injury down-time, it would explain it.
Any idea what her injury is? I mean - Soloviev came back. Maybe she could too. Even if they need to take a year off, at this point in their career, if they could come back strong, it shouldn't hurt them too much.
Does this mean you don't think she's injured, they're just not getting along? Or did you mean she is injured and he's looking for a new partner?
Im hoping she's okay and maybe they can start again with a new coach.
I think he's on the tall side. I can only think of Stepanova as a partner for him.

Ilinykh/Mozgov could work well together. They're both extremely dynamic performers.
I doubt Elena would leave Ruslan though.

LOLOOL... I thought I was the only one who believed this. I promise they look like a pair and not a dance team

Aren't their body types kind of different, though? Mozgov has that lanky, lean look. So does Drozd, IIRC.
Yep. Ruslan is not bad at all and he is progressing. Do not forget, he always had only women coaches (hm, not the very best ones), so, I guess, work with Igor and Fabian will be very helpful for him.
In terms of his look - a LOT depends on his hairstyle, IMO

IMO Ruslan looks much better since he has been away from Sinsitina. I blame Sinstina because, Katsalapov looks worse since he teamed up with her.
ANYWAYS - I dont have any details on Yanovskaya, but form what Ive been told she had a nasty fall prior to the beginning of last season and the consequences are still here. Maybe Mozgov would have to look abroad. I would love for him to have a french partner. make it a new Anissina&Peizerat!

I agree about Ruslan. Teaming up with Elena is the best that has happened to him, because it brought him out of his shell.
I`m unsure if it`s all on Sinitsina though, I mean Nikita used to make these mistakes even when he was skating with Elena. He can say as often as he likes that Elena was more prone to mistakes, his competitve history tells another story.
I hope Yanovskaya can get back to the ice, I really love Y/M. But if she has to retire, maybe someone like Angelique Abachkina could be a possibility for Mozgov? I know she is only a Junior skater, but IMO a diva in the making.

Unfortunately Elena is still prone to mistakes
Not this year. Besides of that fall at Nationals, she didn`t make any mistakes this season.

Very interesting interview with Zhulin re assessing Russia dance scene and ice dance field in general. I came to this thread late, so I wonder if there are any new developments re Mozgov? Is he definitely with Popova now or still looking for a partner?
I too am anticipating following the development/ progress of Zahorski/Guerreiro, particularly under Zhulin's tutelage. I still have hopes for S/K, and it will be interesting to see what becomes of I/Z if they end up training full time with Igor S.
This interview appears to have been conducted prior to the recent reprieve for Bobrova/Soloviev re the meldonium drama.
And yep, Sotnikova/ Bukin brings up intriguing images, but is probably very unlikely to come to fruition. More likely Stepanova/Bukin will stay together and work hard at improving. It is interesting that Russian ice dance appears to have faltered/ fallen from their legendary tenure at the top as they began placing more emphasis on developing singles disciplines.
O, the continued lament: "Elena needs Katsalapov!" And that hot pic of them in former days together on the ice.
Seems as if I/K's youth, their former romance, and then Elena's unfortunate romance with Morozov was a volatile mix for what is clearly already a volatile mix of trying to maintain an ice dance partnership in big time hot glare while melding two feisty temperaments (then later add in coach Morozov's temperament). Too hot to handle. And what's done and over is ... done and over ...

This is weird. Monko has a "fall" and her status is shrouded in mystery, and Yanovskaya has "fall" and her status is shrouded in mystery.
