Oh, thanks, Mel, it was just fantastic
although I missed some persons verrrry much
I left Moscow Wednesday night with a friend Elise who is actually French but studies in Moscow this year : ))
I really hoped to get to see the training Thursday morning, but Maxim Staviski said it was closed
and I might get the accreditation first. So while we went to the hotel to leave our baggage and then to the Ambassador to get our accreditations Ice dancing and Men practices were over already. I was a bit sad first, but then we just decided to walk about St.Petersburg! It's such a gorgeous city.. one of my favourites
We went to the Hermitage. Awww.. I love the hall of Antiquity and Impressionism. Especially, I love french artists: Monet, Matisse, Renoir & Degas. And the Hermitage's collection of 16th-to 19th-century English painting impressed me, too
I looooved the Historical works!
then I met some friends and.. went home
Next morning we went to watch the trainings
I was verrrry excited and thrilled, because two of my favourite couples were there!!!!! Albena & Maxim and Isabelle and Olivier
(my other passions are Sinead & John, of course
and Nathalie Pechalat & Fabian Bourzat of France.. and also Marina and Gwendal..)
The training was great : )) I enjoyed it very much! I was very surprised and pleased to see Albena and Maxim being so confident but they really were
Yay! I still don't like Oksana & Max's tango.. I think Oksana is not good at showing the Tango's temper
of course, their fans don't agree with me
although I used to like them very much ;D
I can't say that Isa & Olivier's tango is perfect.. unfortunately.. still I think they deserved to be placed ahead of Domnina. OF course, I'm just in love with Albena & Max's tango : ))) but it's a real master-piece for me.. their emotions.. passion.. their visual contact.. and the kiss-lift : ) I just love this moment.. Albena's look is soo cute, so adorable, full of joy, trust and love

Ufff.. I'd like to write a loooooooot of things with loooot of details, but I just have no time now
Well,
1) I'm very happy Albena & Max won, I was very glad to hear and to sing bulgarian anthem and to see their happy faces
2) I'm very happy about Aliona and Robin
they are my absolute favourites in Pair skating, I was cheering for them and it was great to see them with their silver
3) I'm very disappointed and feel very bad about Isabelle abd Olivier. The judges just mocked at them again. I love their "Bonnie & Clyde", I love their style, I appreciate them very much as skaters and as people. And I really hope for the Europeans and Worlds..
4) I was also happy to see one european girl on the Ladies podium : ) Yay for Sarah!
5) Erm.. something "interesting" happened with Meeeen
it was a pity to lose Evan and Johnny
6) It was just fantastic to see soooo many frieeeendddsss!!!!!!! Yaaaayy and thank you, girls!!!
Nata, Shanti
Céline, it was verry nice to meet you!
And everyone else we spent time with!
luv, xoxo
P.S. Still I wished Sin & John were there
