2015 Mordovian Ornament Ice Dance SD and FD

That's what I call B events inflation lol Bobrova/Soloviev could have renew their PBs too

I agree.

What did they score?

 

[Snow63]

It looks like to me they didn't want to risk two things, 1. Losing to I/Z and 2. Losing to I/Z.

It looks to me you are wrong.

I don't know. Neither of them seems particularly clueless or conceited to me. They knew coming here losing to I/Z was possible. I think there is general inflation going on here that they also would have befitted from, and I think they do realize that.

What did they score?

Tobias/Tkachenkov: 65.28

I don't think they would have withdrawn unless they had to.

Worth a watch IMO.

 

[Snow63]

I'm SO sad.

Thanks, tulosai. With the first watch I somehow like it a bit less than at the test skates. Perhaps it's the costumes that are too formal for this dance? Also, the partial step sequence still looks too slow, and Lena's dancing could be better.

I agree with you completely. I think they could have even topped Elena and Ruslan's score if they had skated.

Tobias/Tkachenkov: 65.28

Tobias/Tkachenko score a 60 last week in Finlandia. Now a 65.28.

 

[Snow63]

There's new information, some fans who's there now say Katia has a food poisoning. Looks like they have withdrawn before the competition even started.

Thank God it's not an injury.

I think so too,and I think I'm pretty objective to say so since I am a MUCH bigger Ruslena fan than I will ever be a B/S fan.

Definitely general inflation. Tobias/Tkachenko scored 60 in Finlandia just a week ago. Today, 65.28. I don't think their skate today was 5 points better than last week.

Yes, that is telling, even though they are not representing Russia.

That is really unfortunate timing. I feel bad for her, bad food poisoning is the worst.

I did think they looked much better this time. Maybe not 5 points, but definitely some.

I really hope that it's true.

 

[cheerknithanson]

Can I say that I'm happy to see smaller federations do decently well for ice dancing?

I also really like them A LOT!!
