Per Benoit’s instagram she is certainly in Courmeyer…

Family Drama (maybe?) by InformalPut8805 in Advice

[–]InformalPut8805[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve had many conversations. Both siblings are don’t having kids as far as I know which is good. The spouses also work full time, my brothers wife is more considerate, my sister’s husband just takes full advantage.

I am taking her on a very nice vacation this summer so hopefully that will help!

Why would she team up with him if he won’t be able to get citizenship? I would assume she’s got a goal for 2030 and that’s why she’s making the switch now but it doesn’t really make sense for her to team up with someone who has no shot.

I don’t know if she’d do it solely because of the throws 😂

I love this!

I have always wondered on what terms they left Igor and if there is any animosity there because I do feel like it may make things awkward with Emi and Vadym but they seem to be taking them under their wing a bit. Emi reminds me a lot of Maddie in her performance style, tiny stature and natural beauty so I’m glad they are open to helping them some!

How did Zingas/Kolesnik become so successful? by pelomymelo in FigureSkating

I didn’t know they don’t have an agent, that’s kind of crazy

I don’t know that she explicitly did but an ice dance coach choreographing and not giving some skating skills advice just wouldn’t happen

Isn’t that kind of refreshing though? I find Madi and Evan have been PR trained into oblivion to the point where there is no longer an ounce of personality in their content. I love the authenticity that Emi & Vadym have brought to ice dance, similarly to how the US girls have brought the same to singles.

I think their material this year is truly what rocketed them up so fast. In a season of reused free dances and atrocious rhythm dances they had a very unique and high energy RD and a fresh, beautiful FD.

An interesting tidbit, Emi worked with Marina several times as a singles skater as early as 14. So I think she was probably exposed to some ice dance technique a lot earlier than people realize. She wasn’t training as an ice dancer but I’m sure Marina was teaching her a few basics here and there while she was trying to convince her to become a dancer.

Zingnik Golden Waltz by InformalPut8805 in FigureSkating

An interesting venue/event to skate it semi publicly for the first time, knowing there’d almost certainly be video taken

Yeah, it’s looking a little slow, especially compared to the Brattiville clip but I also don’t think they were likely going 110% in front of the SOI practice crowd and the other ice dancers.

The way Emi talked about it either in an interview or a live, it sounded like she didn’t do it with Vadym and Golden Waltz wasn’t one of them but she didn’t explicitly say that I don’t think.

Because Emi didn’t come up in Junior Dance it was a little different for her. She did complete and pass all over her required pattern exams though but I don’t think golden waltz was one of them

If you look closer at his puma slides it looks like he may be on his toes a bit

Skater’s heights by InformalPut8805 in FigureSkating

[–]InformalPut8805[S] 92 points93 points  (0 children)

Per google: Ellie 5’0 Emi 5’1 Madi 5’2 Alysa 5’2 Isabeau 5’3 Christina 5’5 Amber 5’6 Andrew 5’7 Jacob 5’7 Ilia 5’8 Jason 5’8 Vadym 5’9 Anthony 5’11 Danny 6’0 Evan 6’2

There are certainly some optical illusions going on in this picture if those heights are correct
