Does anyone know if Konkina has a new partner already?
How about Vlasenko, does he have a new partner already?

Has there been any other recent split ups one should know about?

Some kind of list about recent split ups and teaming ups would be nice. The list could also include recent coaching changes.

Does anyone know more pairs that have recently split up or teamed up? How about ice dance teams that have recently split up or teamed up?

Egor Zakroev (Vigalova's ex partner) is on icepartnersearch. I thought Pavlova had a partner for him, otherwise what did he do the last year? Was he injured, or did he waste a year?
Maybe he could pair up with Gainedtinova or Beklemysheva. Beklemysheva just aged out, and Gainedtinova has only one year of junior eligibility anyway, so she might as well go to skate with him in seniors. They both have experience of pair skating and competing at international competitions, so it's better than a complete beginner to pairs.

It is quite unusual that the Russian federation haven't published their national team (I mean the whole lot, including seniors, juniors, novice and reserve team). Usually it would have been done already. I thought it was agreed at some meeting at the end of May and now it is end of June. I am so curious to see it!

They are supposed to be held in Sochi on September 10th or 11th (I am not so sure about the accuracy of my memory), but the Junior test has begun, I think. I read that recently Tarasova will fly to America to assess the programs of their dancing teams there. It seems that she is very impressed by the progress of some junior dance teams.

Well, it doesn't say much!

Well I'm of two minds. She doesn't use any of the imagery she used to describe I/K in their junior days; namely kissed by God, to tears etc. etc. But she does have a song in her heart this time around. So either she's learnt restraint or its the same old TAT PR.

The juniors should show their SD today, so soon enough we'll have video.:popcorn:
