That remind me last year. We need a reporter to ask ''so rumours are true Elena?''. If she answers like ''we want to concentrate our performance'' we will know it is true. Good for media, a lot of buzz, a lot of drama. I didn't believe one second but rumour is rumour. I also didn't believe I&K's split at first too. So can this be true? More drama, more fun
I think they are mean people who might want to distract I/Z from Europe, because the timing of the article is very suspicious.Whoever started that rumor must think figure skating fans are a bunch of idiots. Elena did just as well on the GP circuit with Ruslan as she ever did with Nikita. Then she and Ruslan won Russian nationals - something she never accomplishes with Nikita. And now it looks like she will do as well with Ruslan as she has done with Nikita at EC. And that's just in the first year of their partnership. PLus, she seems much more relaxed and has a partner who doesn't blame her anytime he makes a mistake. No logical person would ever think she'd want to go back to Nikita.
This whole split thing is going to follow them for the rest of their career. These rumors will probably always be there along with all the nostalgic talk about what I/K could have been. Poor Ruslan. He'll forever be paranoid and I'm not saying Elena would ever leave him, but when these rumors come up even he must second guess himself.
Watching the great fiasco of Monko/Khaliavin, I think that Sinitsina/Katsalapov will be sent to the World instead of them.
Not really since S/K don't have the minimum TECH score for Worlds and there are still Bobrova/Soloviev.
You're right. But what if M/K bombs the free and B/S can't compete because of injuries? Will they still send M/K no matter what?
They can't send S/K because they don't have the minimum scores & are not entered to any competition to obtain it before worlds. I don't think there are any other teams competing senior that have it either, so M/K would keep the spot.
Be realistic. It is not like Sinitsina/Katsalapov will do better than Monko/Khaliavin's bombed score of 58+. What they need is Bobrova/Soloviev.
What would Russia need to get to keep the three spots? Is there any chance, if S/B and M/K have two good nights each with no one bombing?
