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 !

Petra, sorry, but she annuled only the today nominations . Me too, I wish there will be no more nominations and we can enjoy all the couples, but that's what I found:

Thanks a_Hot_Nerd, I just watched it!

I just can't wait to see the videos of Max and Tanjy from today's show!!!

I agree: Albena and Timur wanted too much, because some people (...) asked too much of them!
It's a different thing if HE's the professional, because he'll be able to catch his celebrity partner any time. But poor Albena had to try dangerous lifts with Timur who can barely keep himself on his feet! It's really hard for a non-pro who's not confortable with ice skating trying such lifts!
Does anybody know what exactly happened? Did he drop her or something?! Just imagine how poor Timur feels!
But it's a good sign dear Albena was there watching the show - at least she's not in hospital!

I am glad there are no more nominations, but probably I am going to watch just Tania and Max from now on.

It seems it was nobody's fault. I'm not sure how to explain it in English - "лошо излизане от поддръжка" - smth like bad stepping out on the ice after the lift Viki and Evgenia, you will translate it better .

You did good Vania.Is something like bad exit from the lift.If they were doing the lift from the last profile i can see it could happened and she probably was trying to keep the balance point and pulled the meniscus .I hope is not too serious because if she needs a surgery it could take months for recovery.It is dangerous for everybody especialy when the partner is non-skater .Timur was trying to do the imposible and he could have been hurt too .Noone ever notice his improvement , he is skating better then some of the male non-profs who are getting higher scores,not to mention his dancing skills. There should be a limit.For example in "Dancing with stars "is more important to learn the dance moves not the acrobatic ones.And here the only thing you can hear is: "do the lift, is not enough,do more, more,more.." and for me is better to work on the choreography and the skating.If i want to watch acrobats i will go to the circus.

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 ...

Vania and Viktoria, I think I now understand how it happenend
If they really tried Albena's and Max' lift again, there are many ways to pull your miniscus... Did she just pull or actually tear it?!
Are there any articles or videos on the net yet (exept the one Petra posted)?

Timur really improved! I just adore the way he moves and dances - so energetic!
He's such a charming person! We'll miss them

Wow! How cool! Not even broadcasted yet and we already get the first pictures how I love this forum!

I hope Albena will recover very soon and we can watch her at Ice Age tour. I think it's not impossible, because the last shows are in May.
Besides, there's a chance that we can still watch Timur (I'll miss him a lot, too). Last year they were changing partners, especially in the tour. Maybe he could dance with someone else, if the non-professional men are busy. I hope so

Girls, I'm sure you arleady know Anna and Luca's showprogram (talking about the Scorpions)
But after watching the COR 2008 Gala on TV and hearing that beautiful song again, I just couldn't help but post the Link here:

Translation by google:
"Denkova-Rodriguez taken in the Kiss&Cry, because for «Albena hard to stand» went one Rodríguez, then Staviski and think Felix (??), Albena delivered, to settle with Nastey on sofas. First, said Rodrigo - «did not do this», said he was «very painful moral», expressing the hope that Albena will be healthy. Albena said that was bad off with the lift and her «knee hrustnulo reverse». Gap meniscus. But this could be a month has already been able to skate again. TAT expressed sympathy and praising couple ... But Albene not trust the doctors and not to wait for a month and want to do laproskopiyu immediately ... I said it about TAT support something, but I do not remember that. I do not sense shorter, it is better to say nothing. Under the curtain Rodrigo pushed farewell speech, thanked to all.

(...)

Arntgolts-Staviysky (Averbuch) For all thank you. (Albena watchs.) Max in black trousers, semi-lavender shirt, lavender Tanya in the same embroidered with something brilliant dress. Beautiful costumes. Light of the divergent parties in a fire in the center of this raging case Max and Tanya are on their knees back to each other. Max (...?), Tanya (...) falls on Max. For light to expansion again, the long collected where Tania with Max at the very beginning to rise to just-in center «fire» get. Very nice dance, maniac Staviysky certainly not thought to do something a little slow. Left two complex lifts - the first Max in a ship (no one was surprised, of course), Tanya fish upside down. But I think they have a little complicated, because earlier was just out of lift, and now there wrest Tanya and other provisions taken. The second - again, Max in a ship, Tanya its face is he is on his knees. Here at the entrance of something such as Tanya (...), but they would not have been put if not all vytyanul as necessary, to face-traveled. At the end to get virtually the same starting point, Max holding Tanya, raises it to the extended hands, then gradually down, returning to start the same posture dance. On expansion, with Tania down, they catch costumes. I do not know much, beads there have Tania on the dress or that, but one way or another, her skirt catch for Maksovsky collar, and not just with Tanya Max tear off each other. Car Rental, fortunately, there were, but also not very good result, the skirt zadralas Thani, for itself catch, yes and no disgrace down.

Dobronravov said that the magnificent artistry, and they are fully consistent with the voice of Magomayev. TAT (said?) in very «not expected stunningly», also noted that emotional match the song. Tanya all through, said today totally happy. Max moved a very long acknowledgments speech - the jury, spectators, all. Uezzhaya, Max its box Rafaello gave to his dad sitting in the front row. His Dad immediately began to entertain seated around. It is, we Aney upset that so far from the Dad, Max sat down. Well, he or far away villages."

"Albena Denkova does not want an operation for anything in the world
DnesPlus - Nov 26 09:57
World champion Albena Denkova which had severe injury during training for a Russian ice age show, said that the operation does not want under any situations. Bulgarian figure skater suspend its participation in the prestigious Russian show because of tearing he meniscus and the two expanded ligaments / tendons. The president of Bulgarian Figure Skating Organization, which is still in Moscow, is expected by the end of the week to come back to Bulgaria to take the necessary measures about her treatment and recovery."


And I do not know if this second one below is reliable or if it is a gossip magazine! Therefore be a little bit cautious until we know something more...
But in any case I do not know what to think about this!!! ...leave the sport?... ok, we know they are not competing at the moment, but were thinking about olympics...and now? ... only shows?... giving up olympics? ... giving up IceAge shows?... but participating in others?...
VANIA!!!! We need Bulgarian help!!!!
Vania, Viki ... What does this article mean? ... Is it another one of these "silly" articles we had so many times before, and an article we should not care about? ... Or is it real?... I mean: "said to Bulgarian National TV..." ... and then such an article in combination with Albies medical problems...

http://www.gradski.bg/show.php?storyid=589658 (in Bulgarian)

Translation by google:
"Denkova and Staviski leave the sport
from "Urban Journal | 17:15
Albena Denkova reported to the Bulgarian National Television. Twice world champions Figure Skating will participate in show programs. The pair will soon be home in Sofia after Denkova received a serious injury during practice for IceAge show in Moscow."

Thanks for keeping us up to date Petra!
Lets just hope, she doesn't make a wrong decision just in order to avoid surgery! But I think nowadays they are trying to get along without surgery anyways... Lets just hope she recovers soon!

About the other article: If it didn't say anything about Albena's injury I'd think it was an older article - really odd!
I think "leave the sport" only means they won't compete anymore - which isn't really big News to us... and "competing in shows" probably includes TV- shows like Ice Age.
I don't think that "leaving sports" includes the Olympics. They never officially announced, that they wanted to have a comeback at the Olympics, did they?! They just dream about competing in Vancouver (and we hope that they'll go for it!!!)
So if they'd really give up that dream about the Olympics, they'd probably announce it in a different way. I mean that would be a big deal for them a big decision that wouldn't be announced in just a tiny article in some online magazine! And anyways wouldn't it be a bit to soon to announce giving up the 2010 Olympics?!
Really odd article...

Thanks Viki!

Happy turkey day to you too !

I agree with Vania. Let's hope that Albie recovers soon, Timur lerns some skating steps ane we see themm at Ice Age gallas.

As far as those little messages in Bulgarion press are concerned. I noticed that they didn't even get the name of the show right. They only know it is very popular. I don't buy what they say. Max said after the requiem of a dream performance that he wanted to skate on this music with Albena, in Vancouvre. But I can not make any conclusions. Max and Albie can always think of a nice surprise

More pics from the last show.Thanks to the girls from starsonice

It seems the article has falsified the real news a little bit ... According to a girl from Bulgarian forum who watched the TV news, Albena said, that at the moment, because of the trial, the latter what she and Maxim are thinking about is a return to the ice, but she has not said that she and Maxim quits the sport!

Nevertheless other articles are copying from the one above now (as they habve done with other articles before many times now!) and spread the falsified news! Here´s the next one:
