Zingas/Kolesnik Fan Thread - They Have “It”

[TanithandBenFan]

There’s a Costco across the road from the arena in Salt Lake City. I won’t be surprised to see Vadym there if I go get a quick meal between events

Have we heard of them mentioning any possibility of doing a challenger? There are only so many left before the grand prixes.

Their first GP is SkAm, so it's possible they could be debuting at Budapest Trophy (still waiting on the entries list for that comp). Or Vadym isn't fully healed from his injury and they wind up debuting at SkAm.

This Costco trip vlog is too funny to be missed

Vadym is just naturally hilarious. He looks happy. Hopefully his ankle is healed. Fingers crossed that their names are on the Budapest Trophy list once the entries are out. They did say they plan on making one challenger before their SkAm debut.

I suppose when you’re in your twenties and expend a zillion calories on the ice daily you can get away with croissants and danishes and hot dogs lol

Thanks for the heads up! I miss seeing them on the ice. I do wonder if there's a chance of them doing Budapest Trophy. It's the only logical challenger left that fits theirs schedule. It sounds like they've been doing runthroughs and such, but it remains to be seen if they're competition ready after Vadym's injury.

That's amazing! Does anyone know where they coach? Is it at Novi?

According to the latest edition of Skating Magazine, Emi and Vadym coach solo dance 3x per week - Tues, Thurs and Sundays - in Ann Arbor. They have more than 30 students in their group! Pretty impressive!

They have more than 30 students in their group!

Just minor clarification, which may or may not be necessary/interesting -- the 30 students are in Brandon Forsythe's group, and Z & K assist.

Emilea thanked Brandon Forsyth and wife Lia DiCicco Forsyth in her post+photos from last month's U.S. Solo Ice Dance Final in Kalamazoo, MI (I had posted this link in the competition thread in Kiss & Cry... which reminds me now that I was going to post some photo links there - ETA: just did!):
