Albena and Maxim in IceAge 3, season 2008/2009

Three more photos







Timur and Albena's dance was very good , the music is just for him and is a pity that he felt at the end..He probably was overwhelmed by the music .I wish he could be more careful next time,there is nothing wrong to enjoy the dance but he is doing this on the ice and needs concetrate.I am sure it's going to be great dance.

Max and Tania chose amazing music as always.According to the audience she didn't stumble noticeably and everybody was mad at Tarasova for comparing Tania with Friske who got 12.00.Poor Friske soon she will become the most hated person in the show. Anyway, the dance was amazing , i am having goosebumps just for listening the song.

Here is some info but i am not sure if is 100% true.Some poster in celebsonice wrote that there will be no more nominations and everybody will stay till the end.It sounds great but i don't know how relable is the sourse.At least we can see our darlings and it would be wonderful if Max is among the medalists but you know what as long as i can watch him and Tania , Albenka and Timur i don't care who is going to win.It is going to be Yags i guess and i am happy for him . Good luck to all.

Viki , as always!!!!!

This sounds really great! I did not read it, but I found elsewhere that they will stop when ten couples are left... Anyway I think they have to stop with nomination soon. Last year I think they stopped at the end of November or beginning of December with ten couples (if I remember correct...). This year they started with more couples, so maybe this year there will be more couples left (if celebsonice is right maybe the twelve that will be left after next nomination?) ... But who knows? Anyway: If there are too few pairs left, IceAge won´t be interesting any longer, and I think the organizers know this! We will see what will happen! Let´s simply wait!

I think the most important is that we can enjoy them as long as possible. They have no chance for winning here, but that´s not important! Important is that they stay and skate the show till the end, without being thrown out!

I wish both two couples the best!

Thank you Viktoria!!!!

Thank you girls !

I felt like "Everybody dance now"
When I saw that news "



I thought that this is why victoria posted this song




I saw Scorpions live in Sofia in ... hmm .. 1993 ... I think. I am not a fan of this particular song, but Tania and Max can make it better.

From the new nomination poll in Russian inofficial IceAge forum... During the last weeks they always were right with the prognosis... Let´s hope they will be this time too !
I do not know for what reason they only have these two pairs in the poll... Normally there should be a third pair too!

Quote:
"Какая из этих пар, по вашему мнению, должна остаться?
1. Ирина Слуцкая - Гедиминас Таранда [ 13 ] [28.26%]
2. Албена Денкова - Тимур Родригез [ 33 ] [71.74%]
Всего голосов: 46 "

Translation:
"Which of these pairs, in your opinion, should stay?
1. Irina Slutskaya - Gediminas Taranda (13 votes) (28,26%)
2. Albena Denkova - Timur Rodriguez (33 votes) (71,74 %)
Total votes: 46 until now"

But it seems beloved Tarasova really has something against Maxim and Tatian ...

The online translation is bad ... Maybe someone can make it better than this automatical translation?

Although, if you want, then why not. I honestly did not notice if the stumble-faults (well, a pair of teeter can, and has been), such as stremno for the support that was ...

Becoming said that always aspires to the ideal skating, but not sport, and the show, and you can make amendments. Tanya said that all fair assessment, and it is wrong.

Both faces have begun to dance - first dopey, and then dispersed. Very well put the number of movements, but ... towards the end both had to kneel, then return to bed and wake up by the sound of the alarm. Rodrigo, rather than simply to kneel so prileg, in principle, the fall was not particularly something, and obviously, but stand up and get to bed he had not had so «usnul» kalachikom coagulated on the ice.

Marat all podkolol that the jury assessed and TAT, because She was involved in this issue. TAT beginning to explain why this is worse than the others. Clear explanation as to why this is worse Friske, we still do not understand, but not the substance. TAT said that the support is the same (although it prekraaaaaaaaaaaaasno understood all growing weight problem-pair). Marat listen flowery explanations said «compare, compare and srovnyali!» Once, without a microphone, shrugged said «I do not know, I liked». Timur said that he was actually the day before the shootings often dream room, upset because he was not about ratings. Albena said that rehearsing a new support, but withdrew it almost at the last moment because not, are not yet ready to show, but do, maybe next time."

I,ll try ,Petra and big thank you to White Crow for this awesome preview


Nomination:

We waited long time for the jury. Tanya and Max came first ,they were sitting on the boards, chatting about something. Max took off his shirt, and put it around Tania's shoulders , and he remained in his teeshirt. Even after Tanya N. with Vadik came also ,they still haven't started yet. Marat improvized and arranged an autograph session ,Stav / short from Staviski/ participated for a while too , then the nominees began jocking around , of course including Basharov . As a result, they have began to do a balance lift: Vadik with Marat, and Stav with Navka.Suprisingly , Vadik with Marat did it, but Stav dropped Navka at the very end. It seemed that they simply did not have enough space, Max was too dispersed and got into the squat position already near at the end of the rink,holding Tanya.
Both Stav and Tanya said that they were worry very much, but Nastya commented that they all looked too happy .Remembering the last program Marat , quoted a part from the conversation with Tania A. and Max «I wish there was no war ». They congratulated Stav with his late Birthday (scorpions rule!). In fact,there was a lot of talking by Tanya N.and Vadik. Vadik put the longest speech about what a great pair are Tanya A. and Max ,and he called them the highlight of the project. Vadik send greetings to all fans - including tankistov and kolgonavtam (and someone else from all claping fans of the couple,unfortunately i didn't know or haven't heard of them,so i didn't understand) .Then Tanya (Navka),started talking higgledy-piggledy and long. Either she wasn't told until the end, that all will stay, nor she thought carefuly what to talk, but in the light of the nomination Tania's speech looked a little bit strange. She offered regardless of the results for Tanya(Arntgolts) and Vadik to stay in the project, because they both skate very well and had many exelent scores. So that's how normaly it sounded more or less , but there were still a lot of words, and finally seemed strange the losing party was trying to convince us that everybody should stay.
/IMHO it was very nice of them to say this and they all look like a good friends/ ...

Continue with the translation

(I imagined for a moment, how Max was saying «Let the two pairs still remain »). Maybe they will make a corections, but it seemed to me that Tania's speech wasn't very consistent . As a result, Stav with Tania A. scored 52 percent. TAT said a few times, like it wasn't o decided yet and offered «Let leave them all, but we wiil go!!!» (It would've beeen cool) ... In short, after a loud applause from the audience TAT said «with power invested in me by the First channel» i declared that all remained. The four nominees performed a collective dance, with Marat and Nastya circling around , and Marat was wailing «Nastya, we still remain!» .


Arntgolts-Staviysky (Averbuch) Scorpions - Still Loving You.


Tanya in a beautiful blue dress, Max in black jeans, white teeshirt, with unbuttoned white shirt on top. Tanya is in front of the mirror putting on ..../i don't know the meaning of "фату"/, Max got it from her and thrown it on the ice, Tania is leaving maybe not be very confidently, Max is catching up with her. On the rehersal Max dropped Tania from the lift- he was in a ship position, Tanya is upside down in candle position with her hands on on his knees. (It looked like Delobel /Shoenfelder's lift)and there is a picture of the lift made by Isa and Olivier.

During the performance they did the lift fine, but the second lift they didn't do it as it was planed. Stav alsways is trying to do everything with complicacy , not only the lifts but also the speed - the steps and all . Although, if you have a desire, then why not. I honestly did not notice ithe stumble-faults (well,maybe there has been a pair of teeter ), but what a lift that was ... At the end , Tanya returns to the mirror, puts back"фату" , Max breaks the mirror into pieces. At the rehersal they were trying to find the right time for the sound of breaking glass. Now, TAT immediately began to deliberate with Sikh, and Anton shook his head once badly, i thought.

TAT initially said that she was the ONE who let the couple stay in the project (cool). Then three times in a row stated that Tanya stumbled four times . This you will see later on TV! (C) At the resentful crowd reaction she responded with the shallow «that something wasn't together that it wasn't with the music». Max said that he always aspired ideal skating, but this is not a sport, but a show where you can make amendments. Tanya said that all scores were fair, and she did mistake. She was very worried and tried after the errors in the last program not to made mistakes today.

/This is from me .Maybe she is too honest,there are people who skate worse than her but quetly accept all the praising from TAT/

Denkova-Rodriguez (Averbuch) Everybody dance now.

Albena in a black dress (it compliments her very, very, very much)Timur in jeans and black shirt. There were two beds (one of whom i mistakenly thought was made for Povilas/ Both are sleeping and apparently having a nightmare with a cutout phrases from TAT «cling, stunningly danced», During these phrases Timur periodically jerked his hands, feet. Both stood up and have begun to dance - first dopey, and then dispersed. Very well put dance with all the movements, but ... towards the end both had to kneel, then return to bed and wake up by the sound of the alarm.Instead simplykneeling, Rodriguez, lied down, In principle, the fall wasn't particularly something, and obvious, but he couldn't stand up and go to bed ,he had simply lie on the ice . Actualy,it was even better, that Timur did it at the skating rink? ..

It was the first «not six» from Andreeva for the whole seasons ... Katya explained that she does not love this music, and it pinches her brain. Anton put the evaluation in comparison with all previous - it was a weaker performance, and not the most remarkable one . Marat said that the jury had to assessed TAT also, because She was involved/her voice/ in this dance. TAT started to explain why this is worse than the others. Clearly why this is worse than Friske, we still did not understand, but this was not the substance. TAT said that the lift is the same (althoug she veeeeeery well understands all close weight problems of the pair). Marat had listened the twisted explanations and said «you compare, compare and compere it!»Later , without a microphone, he shrugged and said «I do not know, I liked». Timur said that he actually was dreaming about the performance the day before the show , he was not upset because of the ratings. Albena said that they were trying a new lift, but withdrew it almost at the last moment because it was not ready for the show, but they will do it, maybe next time.


I don't know but maybe Max should remember Tania is not a pro , be more careful and try not to be so ideal.Complicate lifts,fast skating is good but better be safe and look nice and clear ,instead of trying to be extraordinary and do mistakes.He can be exelent when skates with Albenka.In the show i believe people are willing to watch beautiful dances .But maybe he is under a lot of presure concidering the circumstances and everything

Timur soon will take the prize for"The most falling person" in the show Poor "Timochka" always gets cared away by the dancing at the end .Albenka should glue him to her skirt next time. JK.He is amazing and his skating gets better and better

Anyway,if someone else can get high score without skating so be it., i don't mind, but is kind of akward to hear all those comments from respected judges.Of course this is a show and everything more or less is done by the scenario but we are not without brains here.

Viki, thank you really for your translation!!!

Really, thank you!!!

Viki, thank you!
At some point TAT says that "ONA" decided to leave the pair in the show, Tania and Max that is. What is "ONA"? If this is the Russian word "she", it was not TAT who left them. People voted them to stay. But, whatever that is I am glad we get to enjoy them

You are welcome girls.Petra this time i used the google translator and really saves time.


Evgenia ,yes to your question.Ona means she ,it was said ironicly i think.Maybe noone was awared of the real score and it was the last moment surprise or she was just little irritated by the results , anyway is not the first time she acts just like that . Everybody is allowed to have favorites and Tania Navka is obviously one of TAT's beloved skaters ,so we can forgive her It is more important that people like Tania A. and Max and they are respected by their collegues in the show.

We all know since Tuesday that Max and Tatiana can stay in the show , but Russian newspapers still want to make it exciting / thrilling for the viewers ...
Thanks to Anya for finding this link!

Translation by google:
"From Tatiana Arntgolts hiding in the speech?

Will the pair of Tatiana Arntgolts - Maxim Stavisky stay in the draft? It depends on how the voting audience. One of the brightest participating «Ice Age» spoke with correspondent «Komsomolki»
Lydia Pavlenko, Ruslan Photo ROSCHUPKINA. - 20.11.2008
Leaders «Ice Age» Tatiana Arntgolts and Maxim Stavisky unexpectedly fell in the category for the departure from the project. All because of coincidence: during the execution of one of the elements Tatiana fell. She strongly hurt her knee, but skated the number until the end. And together with Maxim on the bench, where participants are awaiting the verdict of the judges, actress burst into tears. Not because of injury, but from resentment: it is difficult to accept that because one inadvertently to leave the top tournament line, if not to leave the show. The fate of a pair of Arntgolts - Stavisky clarified this Saturday after publishing the results of SMS-voting viewers.

- It is a pity, of course, that we find ourselves in the category. But in general, throughout the project, we very Maxim acted honorably, - said Tatiana. - This is not only my opinion. The judges also say that our steam rising.

- Do not spared it be that even vvyazalis in all this?

- Do not regret any drops! Despite a broken blood elbows and knees. Once finger skates cutting. But the injury heal, remember, but the excitement remained. Although given all very seriously. I have, for example, has never been so much physical exertion. But not in this case. Now I have a certain emotional fatigue. Perhaps, all proved more difficult than I could suggest.


In the series «Still, I love» Tatiana Arntgolts played an entire life: the heroine of his youth to old age.

- Where are you now more difficult: on stage or on the ice?

- This is different spheres of activity. But on stage I always keep things under control. And on the ice feeling is not so sure - there is not much to predict, provide.

- As you for your intervention in the show? Maybe there is some secret way to inspire confidence in themselves?

- I'm just trying to reach to the ice to go where nobody, to hide, sit alone with each other. I'm trying to disconnect from the bustle and remember in detail the number to be executed.

- You started to go to Alexei Yagudin, but then rose up in a couple of Maxim Stavisky. What linked these changes?

- No it is not linked. Ilia Averbukh selected on a pair of compatibility. Height, weight, yet some parameters. I actually first trained with Yagudin. But tried with another partner, and proved that it is more convenient for me, more profitable.

- By the way, the coach. Rooms with participants alternately prepare Ilia Averbukh and Alexander Zhulin. What is the difference between their methods?

- They both - great professional, very creative people. You can not say that one is easier to engage me and the other harder. When we are with Maxim trains Ilya, I miss Sasha, and vice versa."

Autsch!!!



And I can´t remember if we have these ones from Albena and Timur...

I really do not know where Tarasova has noticed four stumbles of Tatiana...
This was perfect!
And with these lifts they could start successfully at normal competitions!

Oh, I wish so much watching Maxim with Albena doing such lifts in a competition!!!!!!

And here too I do not understand the marks completely ... maybe because at the beginning they did not skate for a long time??
But they managed the lift fine, and they should know that Timur is not a professional and therefore it´s normal to be a little bit shaky in lifts!
In any case I wish Albie and Timur the best!
P.S.: In the unofficial poll in Russian IceAge forum they are still leading in front of Slutskaya!

For now I watched only Tania and Max and I didn't see any mistakes too.
May be the only one was that they cut out my favorite part of the song, where Klaus Meine sings very high (never screaming, not him). Well they have 2 and a half minutes and the song is twice that (if not more), they had to cut. And lifts are so professional. I think Anna and Luca are doing something similar this season and they were quite impressive at the itallian competitions.
I wish too Albie and Max skated some signature song with the full length and the skating and artistism at max as usual Doesn't have to be exactly this one, there are many stunning pieces of music.

This reminded me how I was watching Scorpions in Sofia from the "second" floor. Some guy shoulders, very close to the stage, "seats" for skinny girls who have no problem being cheer leaders for the whole concert . Lucky me to be young and light back then They didn't plan to sing that song, but who would let them go without it. So strange that Klaus Meine is ... the age of my dad.
