Sunt doi dansatori talentati si frumosi, care la prima lor participare la un CE de amatori au ocupat locul 4 asa m-am gandit ca merita si ei un thread:

Elena Ruslanovna Ilinykh[1] (Russian: Елена Руслановна Ильиных, born April 25, 1994 in Shevchenko, Kazakhstan) is a Russian ice dancer. With partner Nikita Katsalapov, she is the 2010 World Junior Champion, 2009 Junior Grand Prix Final silver medalist and 2011 Russian senior national bronze medalist.
As of 29 January 2011 (2011 -01-29), they have the season's 7th highest total score. As of 28 January 2011 (2011 -01-28), the International Skating Union (ISU) ranks them 12th in the world.
Elena Ilinykh began in single skating but her coaches felt she would be more suited to ice dancing. She was paired with Nikita Katsapalov by Irina Lobacheva and Ilia Averbukh who were the team's first coaches. In 2005, they attended a training camp under Alexander Zhulin who was preparing Tatiana Navka and Roman Kostomarov for their Olympic gold-medal winning season.[4] Despite feeling inspired, they split shortly afterward – Ilinykh said they were too young at the time to understand partnership, "We didn't understand at all that you need to talk to each other, to find a compromise. There were these foolish, stupid quarrels. It just didn't work."
Ilinykh moved to Canton, Michigan where she trained in Marina Zoueva and Igor Shpilband's group for two years without a partner, and then returned to Russia.[ Katsalapov had split up with another skater so they decided to give their partnership another chance in spring 2008.They began competing in the 2008-2009 season, when they placed 4th at the Russian Junior Championships. In the 2009-2010 season, they competed for the first time on the ISU Junior Grand Prix. At their first event, the event in Budapest, Hungary, they won the gold medal. At their second event, in Torun, Poland, they won a second gold medal. These medals qualified them for the 2009-2010 ISU Junior Grand Prix Final. They are coached by Zhulin in Moscow.
Ilinykh and Katsapalov were named Discovery of the Year at the 2010 Crystal Ice Awards held in October 2010 in Moscow.[6][7] They made their senior debut during the 2010-11 season at the 2010 NHK Trophy where they finished fourth. At their next event, 2010 Cup of Russia, they won the bronze medal, their first medal on the senior Grand Prix series. At the 2011 Russian Nationals, they won the bronze medal and their first berth to the European Championships.
At the 2011 Europeans, Ilinykh and Katsalapov set new personal bests in the short dance (60.93), free dance (92.55) and combined total (153.48). They finished fourth in their debut at the event.

Sunt adorabili, atat de tineri si frumosi! De mult nu mi-a placut asa de mult o pereche de dansatori, au scris pe ei "campioni" din cap pana in picioare.
, sunt tare frumosi si atat de tineri
, sunt sigura ca la Sochi vor depasi recordul detinut de Tessa si Scott si vor deveni cei mai tineri campioni olimpici
Totusi mi-e frica de programele pe care o sa le aiba, daca vor fi antrenati de Morozov(si la cat e Elena de frumoasa si el de afemeiat, peste vreo 3-4 ani ma astept la o noua telenovela!)
