Season 2008/2009 other competitions

The new season will begin very soon Actually, there were already a couple of competitions (with pretty curious results ) Now I'm waiting for Finlandia trophy (the tournament that A&M have won as many times as they participated, I think ) This year Ina Demireva and Yuri Kurakin should participate there, but I don't see their names in the entries
here's the site of the event:
http://www.stll.fi/finlandia_trophy/
and the entries:
http://www.stll.fi/finlandia_trophy/entries/

I hope they haven't withdrawn (Ina had some medical problems, but I believe everything is ok now). It starts tomorrow, so we'll see very soon.

Aaaaand I'll cross my fingers for Sinead and John too, and for Sarah Meier

Unfortunately, Ina and Yuri won't participate in Finlandia Trophy, neither in Karl Schäfer Memorial (that starts next week), where they were listed as well. Ina has some problems, and we hope she'll recover very soon.

I´m sorry to read this, Vania! No good news for all Bulgarian fans of Ina and Juri ...

As I understood (if the informations is correct) she's already feeling well, but they missed many days of training and don't feel well prepared.

So, good luck, Sinead and John! I can't wait to see your new programs!! Please, if someone finds video from this event, post it here, please!! Especially downloadable links !

The results after the CD:

1 Sinead KERR / John KERR GBR 34.54
2 Kristina GORSHKOVA / Vitali BUTIKOV RUS 31.11
3 Anastasia PLATONOVA / Alexander GRACHEV RUS 30.78
4 Carolina HERMANN / Daniel HERMANN GER 27.65
5 Caitlin MALLORY / Kristjan RAND EST 27.51
6 Nadia FROLENKOVA / Mikhail KASALO UKR 26.77
7 Oksana KLIMOVA / Sasha PALOMДKI FIN 23.27
8 Penny COOMES / Nick BUCKLAND GBR 22.91
9 Joanna BUDNER / Jan MOSCICKI POL 22.88

It seems that Sinead & John don't have a serious concurrence for the first place! I think that the 1st Russian couple Gorshkova/Butikov skated in Junior level till last season Obviously, Gorshkov/a is a very popular name in the Russian skating (but I think she has nothing in common with Alexei Gorshkov).

The results in the ladies competition (much more interesting )

Vania, I found one in our favourite video site...

Thanks, Petra! This video is also available in youtube! I've already watched it Wonderful dance, but I have the feeling that they have some problems with the synchro... Anyway, it's only the first competition in this season. I'm sure they'll improve.

Here's the link for their CD:

I know who you're talking about because S&J remind me to them, as well Maybe it's because the music choice, maybe the charisma on the ice... I don't know...
