I like this team so far. I must admit that their SD is a total miss for me. But their FD seems really entertaining. :cool:
They have some interesting elements. Hopefully they have a future :)

i like this team they have a fire to them. They are pretty exciting in a field of Russian dance that is really not, imo (in seniors i mean)

These two were the find of Rostelecom as far as I'm concerned. Count me as their new fan.

Here’s a fun TV interview with Betina and Sergey: https://youtu.be/zJbZTpexlyk
They got this rocker vibe I really dig and this raw sexiness I haven’t seen in an ice dance couple in a long time. They looked really good and I love Betina’s boots. For your viewing pleasure, Sergey takes his shirt off to display his tattoos. I knew he had tattoos but didn’t realize he had piercings too. :love: If any can translate the interview, I would greatly appreciate it.

Starting my campaign to get Betina and Sergey to do a Penny Dreadful FD next year. https://youtu.be/MytkgUwhY3k

They would be perfect as Vanessa Ives and Ethan Chandler or even Brona and Dorian Gray. The music from the show is haunting at points and poignant at others. A Victorian gothic and horror FD would be something different from the current FD trends. Plus, Betina and Sergey both have the acting and performance skills to pull this off.

Like, TOTALLY
But, uhm, Brona and Dorian? Nah, please. Their story was ridiculous enough.
I'd go for Vanessa and Ethan. I dream about Vanessa and Dracula, but I guess it would be too much for Sergey :)

Like the Vanessa and Dracula idea!


Here’s the gala performance. Fun number for sure. Loved how they attempted jumps and a pairs lift in this program.

I love them, they are so off the wall and refreshingly different!
I just wish they were a bit stronger technically, as they certainly have the ice presence to be top contenders.
Send them to Igor Shpilband, as he is a great technician, and I feel they will deliver the character that Igor often lacks.

Or even Zoueva!

Yeah you are right, they are rough around the edges some times and Shpilband would be a fantastic solution for them, but I'm not sure it they will allow them to train in USA :/ Or give more ice time to Rumiantseva's group, cause as we learn from the interview they have only 2h ice time for whole group. It's super small amount of time, cause Fusar-Poli's group in Milano is on the ice 7-11:45, and 12:30-15 for example

If they only have 2 hours a day, then that is remarkable the level they are! Chapeau!

I must say I am slowly warming up to this pair. Given the lack of ice time the improvement they made on their FD in particular between Rostelecom Cup 2017 and Russian Nationals was impressive.

Their music choices for next season are also quite interesting;

SD: Tango in the Madhouse
FD: Master and Margarita

I am hopeful that Volkov and Krylova can add the polish they need to set them apart.

Straight in to the feels xD Master and Margarita SD was the first dance (with Yuri back then) I saw from Betina and it was an instant love.
