May be the second lift looks familiar

Yep very familiar Even the Kerrs copied this lift from Max&Tania :


Just kidding, of course!

Oh yes! And that's not the only lift they copied...
Watching the Grand Prix Series I noticed some dancers copying Albi and Max' lifts! Anna and Luca just have a different way of getting into that first upside down lift - and a cool one too!
Actually i tried to copy some lifts too, but somehow always endet up like Timur

Hi Baghira !!! Warm welcome from me too!!!!

Vania, I haven´t found the original post in starsonice forum , but in celebsonice they have the complete copy of Tarasova´s speech made by Guzya! Enjoy !!!

And good luck for Albie and Timur tomorrow!!! Goooooo!

Arrrrrg! I hope this is not true ! According to this article Albena is injured, can´t continue dancing at IceAge, has to return to Sofia and maybe needs surgery!
There can be found some more articles with the same news in Bulgarian search engine !!

Translation by google:
"Albena meniscus tear of practice, believes that we have quotas for Vancouver
Gong - Nov 24 17:26
Albena Denkova meniscus tear and stretch two tendons during training on Russia's TV show "Ice Age". By the end of the week she will stay in Moscow, but then coming home in Sofia, where he will continue treatment. According to Russian doctors have the option to avoid surgery, but everything depends on the first days of recovery. For it now takes care of its favorite Maxim, which is dedicated to it and, as even have to carry on her hands.
President of BFK parallel track and the organization, which has already started about the impending end of February for adolescents worldwide and girls in Sofia.
"I am delighted that our vote of confidence and we will host again. Last year the federation was a big financial flop of this championship. Over the next few years will not have excellence, thus won will be invested in training young talents, as funds DAMS will be grossly inadequate. "- Especially for Gong said Albena Denkova.
She got a chance for Olympic quotas for dance, women and sports couples. Naturally for medals in Vancouver is ridiculous to talk, but our presence is important in Figure Skating. Albena also said that when men bet a young player after veteranat Nayden Borichev finally terminate competitive career. Sports couple practicing in Ukraine, where women will wait for something from Sonia Radeva. Albena and Maxim monitor training in Moscow on Ina and Yuri Demireva Kurakin.
Max helps. Have made, but much work still needs. I also go to training them when I am not involved in the TV project. "- Albena says his sister.
Otherwise, our double world champion believes that as a whole has fallen in Figure Skating. She also revealed that the second pair of her first coach with Maxim - Alexei Gorshkov, is preferred the U.S. and preparing Natalia Linichuk and Gennady Karponosov.
"They might come to the Olympic gold. These coaches will have a new image. "- Albena forecasts.
Denkova has trained more recently starred Evgeny Plyushchenko, who had apparently peaked and is in great shape.
"Get all the triple jumps. May return to the world in the 2009th. "- Says the Bulgarian ice princess.
Albena still in pain remember the promises of politicians after their second world title that will soon have a new concourse, where they will train children and organize major competitions calendar of the ISU. Actually, the question is whether the successes and the miracle that made a Staviski will remain in history or skating sports after years be Traditionally in Bulgaria.
More likely first, but hope dies last ..."

From what I just found in Bulgarian forum this bad news from above really seems to be true!!!
And in Russian inofficial IceAge forum they have this information too...



OMG, this really is bad luck ! Injured seriously at IceAge !

Dear Albena !!!!
I wish you a fast recovery without surgery!!!!!!

White Crow is just starting to upload her vids from Saturday :

Albena´s and Timur´s dance and Albena´s "PLeeeeease, let us stay in the project" is not uploaded until now!

Wow,thank you Petra and White Crow of course .We,ve been waiting for this one even though we already knew what will happened .And Tania Navka was not acid at all ,she said good words for Tania A. and Vadim Kolganov and to let them or both boys to stay in the show /so she and the little Tania could go to the Beauty salon and do their nails /Tarasova also was very generous and said that there is no way to let any of them go.

OMG , i read only part of your post ,Petra. What is going on.I hope Albie is OK and won't need a surgery .I wishh her all the best.

Hope Albena's injury is not bad and doesn't require surgery.
I listened to the audio attached to the Bulgarian news paper. I think she said she can be on the ice in 3 to 4 weeks. I wish her the best too and to take care of herself

I just watched Albena and Timur in youtube and I going to miss them on Saturday. Big time. They have such energetic dance. I don't understand the lady who thinks the music was too laud, but there are many people that ... hmm ... don't like clubbing every now and then. And the training session was just

Timur hugs Albena and sings "my dear Albena, my golden, Albena, my dear ...." and Maxim comes and says "Timur", so Timur sings "yes, my dear Timur"

Albena is telling Timur over and over (almost every session) to get more serious and Max keeps telling Tania to relax.

Poor Albena!! I'm so sad... I was shocked when I first read it
Let's hope she'll recover soon... Hold on, Albie!!

Here is the result video with Albena and Timur

After watching those i want to cry, the project won't be the same for me.They were the sun and the light of the project . The health is more important . Good luck to Albenka with the recovery and to Max with the project.

P.S.Here are the videos from White Crow.

Oh God and I was hoping that the russian translator made mistake yesterday.
I wish Albena fast recovery and hope that no surgery will be needed. She and Timur will be definetly missed in the project, but health is more important.

And good luck to Max and Tania today. Max now has to fight for two.

Petra and Victoria: Thanks for posting the links!

TAT really doesn't seem to like Tanja and Max!
Wehere on earth could she have stumbled 4 times?!
And anyways: it wasn't TAT who kept them in the show, but the people! In the voting they were ahead of Navka/ Kolganov and TAT actually had to save THEM!!!
5.8 - that makes me really mad!!!
They were so perfect compared to other pairs!!! And the upside down lift is a hard thing to do - for both of them!

Whatever TAT says, I'm sooooo proud of Tanja and Max!!!



Are there any news about Albena?! How is she doing?
All the best Albenka!

By the way: Why is everybody always talking about Tuesday?!
I thought the show was saturday!

Omg...i just knew what happened to Albenka.... So sad that we won't see her and Tima in the show...
But health is the mainest thing.
Thanx for keeping informed, girls!
Dear Albena, everything best to you! Recover faster! We need you healthy and smiling!

Baghira, we talk about tuesdays because the show is being made on tuesdays and broadcasted only on saturdays.

Ah! Thank you Swetis! And sorry for always asking such stupid things
I really thoght it was a live show

Max - Tania 12,00!!!

They made a great lift, on high speed

Oh,what news! I still hope that Albena's injury isn't so serious as they write! I hope she'll recover as soon as possible!

Thanx Vania!
That's really GOOD news!!! Wohoo! Finally!
Interesting what they did if Tarasova didn't find a thing to low the marks??

Swetis: I know what I'd do if she found a reason for lower marks

12 for Tanya and Max!!! It's cool!!!
ALL THE BEST for OUR ALBENKA!!!!!
Албеночка, поправляйся!!!

I am happy for Max and Tania.12.00 again but i am so sad about Albena.I hope Tarasova sleeps well .I don't care is for the show ,i don't care who is writing the script,nobody can put words in my mouth if i don't feel is right .Forcing people to do dangerous stuff is unforgivable and simple "I am sorry,get well soon, see you at the final concert" is more than hypocritical.Albena and Timur,s talant and ideas were enough to give us great dances without the presure to do stupid complicated lifts.I lost my interest in this show and if i'll continue to watched it is because of Max but who knows , next time maybe his haircut or Tania's dress will be the reason to undermarked them too .

Anyway .
Here is the song of their dance

I just came home... gooooood news about dear Maxim after the horror news about dear Albenka ...

Congrats, Maxim and Tania!!!
Now both of them received what they always deserve!!!!!
And hold on, dear Maxim! You have to fight for two now!!!!

And: I´m glad beloved TAT (=Tarasova) did not use the speech Guzya in starsonice-forum prepared for her ...

Baghira,

here is the new white crow channel in case you have not discovered already

https://www.youtube.com/user/WhiteCrowAgain

She had problems lately, but now it seems all fine.

I am glad for Tania and Max , but it is bittersweet. Watching Albena and Timur from Saturday's show I laughed initially and just didn't want to believe .... you know what. They have such positive energy. And Timur's task is not easy. Skating alone at his level is not easy and they ask for stupid lifts. The guy said in the interview that he does not do lifts, because this may be dangerous for Albena. Watch it again Viki

http://www.1tv.ru/ice2/fbd=4054

He was so right. TAT had to give him a chance to master the steps, not just ask lifts like Ice Age is some sort of a circus. Mastering steps is not easier than mastering lifts and they wanted Timur to master both. Other non-pro guys are not that good at steps, but they are in a better position to do lifts. Timur had a shot at steps and TAT cut him off.

In Russian forum they write that Maxim made the dance with Tania in an incredible speed! And that dear Albenka was watching him from first row!

I only hope the injury is not too serious!

And: I really hope Tarasova is satisfied now ! She always wanted more and more , higher and higher , more and more difficult lifts ... Now she has the result of her demand : an injured professional ! Our Albenka ! That´s what I always was afraid of when I heard Tarasova asking for difficult lifts! I very well remember the pic of Albenka with the helmet on her head , saying that she is afraid ... Now we have the result ! But I think Tarasova can sleep well with this knowledge of what she has provoked ...

Besides: One good news from today I just found in Yagudin forum !
Laurie there found it , and I know she only posts things that are 99,99% true !

Quote from Laurie from Yagudin forum:
"Edited to add yet again, LOL - Tatiana /Tarasova/ announces that there will be no more nominations! - whew!
Laurie"

So, if this is true (and I normally trust in Laurie and her research abilities ), then Max is save till the end of the show now !
