Here's the link with the schedule and the rankings. The competition starts today:

Good luck to Ina and Yuri, and to Lora and Dimitar

After the first dance, Ina and Juri are 13th with 21,51 points.
(And Jana Werner / Tim Giesen from Germany are 15th with 20,84 points . That´s not bad for their first international competition together. I mean , they are skating together since this summer. Before, Tim was skating with Saskia Brall.)

13th place isn't bad (but I was hoping for more ) Today is the OD, and I wish to Ina and Youri to improve their ranking!

1 Isabella PAJARDI / Stefano CARUSO ITA 50.15
2 Shannon WINGLE / Ryan DEVEREAUX USA 49.65
3 Anastasia VYKHODTSEVA / Alexei SHUMSKI UKR 46.77
4 Ekaterina PUSHKASH / Dmitri KISELEV RUS 46.05
5 Karen ROUTHIER / Eric SAUCKE-LACELLE CAN
6 Scarlett ROUZET / Lionel RUMI FRA 43.16
7 Marina ANTIPOVA / Artem KUDASHEV RUS 42.80
8 Charlene GUIGNARD / Guillaume PAULMIER FRA 41.32
9 Natalie FEIGIN / Jason CUSMARIU CAN 40.30
10 Anastasia GAVRYLOVYCH / Maciej BERNADOWSKI POL 39.17
11 Isabella CANNUSCIO / Ian LORELLO USA 37.85
12 Leigh ROGERS / Lloyd JONES GBR 36.78 21.94 14.84
13 Ina DEMIREVA / Juri KURAKIN BUL 36.15 22.02 14.13
14 Sonja PAULI / Tobias EISENBAUER AUT 35.43
15 Lora SEMOVA / Dimitar LICHEV BUL 29.82
16 Kristina KIUDMAA / Aleksei TROHLEV EST 28.91
17 Ksenia SMIRNOVA / Aleksander JAKUSHIN LAT 27.80
18 Jana WERNER / Tim GIESEN GER 27.58

Well, I really hoped Ina and Yura would be placed higher after the OD !! and it seems that they hadn't have big mistakes, so I'm a bit sad their TES is higher than the TES of Leigh and Lloyd though but yay for Lora & Mitko !!!!!!!!!!!! Guys, you are great !!! You don't train in Moscow, Lora had a big injury last year and you are youuuung and you are only 2 positions lower that Ina & Yura !!!

OMG!!! I'm so happy that Bulgaria has one more pair!!!!!

Aww..I didn't know either.
It's good to read this. I believe in Bulgaria and I hope one day Bg will have a major role in FS.

Thanks for the rankings

Yes, it was, but only some reports about midnight and I didn't watch them as you already know, I had other things to do Besides, the satellite channel TV Bulgaria that was supposed to show some reports, has disappeared "by unknown reason"

Hugs!

Hm..just reports?! It's strange cause something really good is happening in Bulgaria concerning figure skating and they decide to show just reports... . Still, it is better than nothing

And a channel disappeared? Really odd!! Bad connections!! Was it raining by any chance?!

Yeah, I can totally understand the 'other things to do'

Thanks for the photos!!
And Iuri has long hair!

No it wasn't raining, just the stupid cable TV
It's not strange at all, when it refers to our national TV (Kanal 1), not to show some important event LIVE! Can you believe that they had some technical problems during the solar eclipse few years ago and they didn't show it ! Thanks God, the cable TV exists!

It.is.their.OD. Balcan folk. I love it !!!!!!! Thank you so much for the video, milichka !!! And the quality is fab I loooove their costumes, they look really gorgeous... I love the beginning very much I'd like to change one lift that on Yura's shoulder, because I think they have more attractive and interesting lifts... but still it's a very good danse

PS: and the music is beautiful, too !!

You're welcome !
But actually we should thank to Zory - I think she took these videos and she posted them in the BG forum. I have just re-posted them here
