[quot]*Lana now makes it her evil mission to find the paragraphs, before Lerochka finishes translating. joking! *[/size] hehe. I cannot possibly translate this article, as a) I don't know where to find it. and b) I cannot understand Russian! I don't know where the paragraphs could be. Grace, do you post on FSUniverse, by any chance? hehe.

It's all your fault, you are talking so much about this, but without any details... and you made me wanna read the article so bad...

Our fault? I am as curious as you, Alex. I have absolutely no idea of what the article could say.

Girls.. you can go to the GOSSIP section Sorry for mistakes or so.. sorry if something isn't very clear.. sorry for wrong expressions and depressive article from Artur Verner

You amaze me Grace, you know a bit of bulgarian, a bit of russian...Wow!!!
Congrats my dear Grace....You're great!

It's not so much... I studed Russian in university, and I happened to have a job where I had to teach myself Serbian and Bulgarian in order to do the necessary research. Now I've forgotten a lot of it, but I'm studying it again because I've taken the exam to be a diplomat, and the languages you speak matter a lot for where you get sent. :study: :study:

Thanks Lera!!!

I have already read it in the gossip section!!!

I think it is wonderful, Grace!!!
An you do well to prepare yourself for any eventuality! People should grag their chances when they come along!!

Yes, I really hope that too...I hope it will be published in english as well. Although i'm pretty much sure Romania will not publish it...they're not very interested in these things...
It would be great to procure the book somehow

Well... It's even less likely that it will be published in Canada. We probably will have to read, "The lives and times of Dubreil and Lauzon", instead.

Oh!!! Did I tell you that a Canadian commentator stole my sign's slogan and used to describe Marie and Patch? This is completely off-topic, but she did. Barb Underhill said, after the FD, "Marie-France and Patrice are Golden in our Hearts." I couldn't believe it!!! Gah... commentators. I was quite pissed, but now I just find it amusing.

Lannnnnnaaaaa, what do you think, we, russians, probably will have to read, eh??? Can you guess, dear??? "Tania & Roman & their long way to reach the stars" Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't want!!!!!!!!
And you must be very proud of your amazing sign! It has become very popular if the commentators quote it already! I can imagine my dear sestrichka who watches TV and.. Golden in our Hearts??? What? but you are right, we all know who made this sign, who invented this expression.. :<33: so.. :<33:

Now, that I want to read! I think Zhulin must write it. It would be most amusing. "And than, we were awarded the Olympic Gold for the most wonderful, difficult and original Free Dance the world has ever seen... Carmen!" You know you want to read it sestrichka! You are simply in denial. you met Tania recently did you not? *Lana is sulking*

I would have liked it better, if Barb had been referring to Albena and Max! But Canuk TV... What do you expect? My mom told me on the phone, when I was in Calgary, "You know, Barbara Underhill quoted your sign... She said Marie-France and Patrice were Golden in the audience's hearts. " I responded, "WHAT??? But! It wasn't for theeeeem!!! " Now, I know why my sign wasn't on TV. So, Barb could steal my slogan and no one would know. Bad CBC! BAD!

I'm totally sulking here because at least Tatiana and Roman's book would be amusing and Marie-France and Patrice's book might be interesting... can you imagine what *I* might have to read? "Fun and Friends with Tanith and Ben" or some such idiocy? I mean... come on. Kill me now.

Well... it's a compliment? To you? I guess? [choke] Okay, I shouldn't be so horrible about it, I do actually like Dubreuil and Lauzon as long as they stay far, far away from beating Albena and Maxim.

Oh, ok, sestrichka, so you think it would be amusing! I guess Zhulin will immediately translate his gorgeous book in english for all "not russian" fans of Tania and Roman, 'cause they think they have a loooooooooooot well, yes, I met her, but.. but I didn't say a single word to her because.. because Albena didn't allow me Haven't I told you, Lanochka, that I told Albie about Baba Yaga FD?

Oh, no, poor you, Grace!!! We must save you from that.. erm.. but maybe it's too early to write this book, now I guess you can live calmly till next Olympic Games, no?

But I have some apprehensions for the next season.. if they both stay.. who knows... maybe Muriel could invent something amazing for Marie-France and Patch again.. maybe something better... And they have really improved two last years.. with "our" judges.. Grace, could you, please, become an international judge? To judge at Worlds.. Grand-Prix events.. eh?

Zhulin's book would be a great comedy. I think I would die of laughing after the 3rd page. you. told. Albena?!?! Sestrichka, stop teasing me and tell me what she said!!! Pleeeeeease.

Ohh, the title is so perfect, Grace. hehe. It sounds like a TV show for little kids. I can't imagine Tanith and Ben's book being very insightful or deep in any way.

Is it a compliment to me? Or to Marie and Patch? I do like them and everything. I thought Dubreuil and Lauzon's FD this year was lovely. But... as you said, I like them as long as they do noooot beat Albena and Maxim.

Ta - ta - ta - ta - ta - tam (drums and applauses): "the best FD the world has seen...Carmen" Lana, this sentence made me laugh sooo much. It's very funny, but even so, I hope I won't have to read this anywhere. Especially not about Navka and Kostomarov's Carmen. This would be such a lie!!

Somebody said here (sorry, I don't remember, I read between lines in order to have time to read all the messages ) that what matters is that we know about it. Probably all the people from the ice-rink also. They must have seen your sign Albena and Maxim know this for sure :<33: In a way you should be proud because the wholw world, or canadians at least, heard your words Hehe..It would have been better if they would have known it's about AM

You told Albena about Baba Yaga.. Oh my!! What did she say?! Did she find it funny?! I hope..

Hehe...Listen to Lana and tell us. Pretty please?!

After the 3rd?? I think.. earlier, Laur first.. erm.. some pages is Introduction.. I don't think you could read the whole thing.. Zhulin's introduction.. he must be so well in cutting a dash!
Yes, sestrichka I told Albena Ohhh, if Lanochka says "pleeeeeese" with so many "e"s, I simply have no another choice but to tell you EVERYTHING! hm.. but.. I don't know where to start.. I have sooo many things to tell you already.. and my exams.. and all the problems I had.. ouf I must collect my thoughts. Wait.. pleaaassseeeee!

Hm.. Alex.. some mistakes.. I had NO meeting with Albena. She was NOT in Moscow. I'm sorry, but I've told about it for million times.. We told on the phone with her.. on this wonderful thing created by our human race

Auci...Please take your time...
Are you still confronting same problems?! I was hoping, that in the meantime, some of the problems had gone, solved. Maybe the knee...
I'm sorry to hear this again, I really thought you are better. I was so happy to see you back, that I forgot to ask how are you feeling?! I'm sending huuugs to you my dear. Many hugs :<33:

I'm sorry. We must get you on your nerves.
I was thinking about the phone, but for some reason I said meeting.

Oh Lord no, it's never too early in the States. Emily Hughes has a book! Okay, maybe Emily Hughes has a book because she's Sarah Hughes's sister, but still.

Actually, I think it will be difficult for Marie-France and Patrice to have the same kind of impact again next year, but one never knows... it's certainly true that they've improved a lot, when I saw their programs from Skate Canada last year I was in total shock.

Quote :

Well, that's my goal, but it will be very difficult to reach from the States, and it certainly will not happen in time for me to be of any assistance to Albena and Maxim (not that I would actively be of any help to them anyway, because of course that would be just as unethical as anything else). It will take me 10 years at the very, very least. Most probably more, and I may never manage it.

I sincerely hope for the best, Grace!

What? You don’t think Carmen is the best FD in the World? It obviously is, Alex. Honestly. jokiiiiing. Don’t worry, I have never seen anyone refer to N/K’s “masterpiece” in such a way. I would be shocked, if I did. I should type up an article from “Patinage” magazine for you. They say some things that are very funny (+ also very mean ) about the Ice Dance competition at Olympics. I think you’d like it. When I get my holiday, () I can type it up.

Ah well, perhaps. The whole thing would be very hilarious, I’m sure. The sadest thing is that I would actually read it.

Non, dis-moi que ce n’est pas vrai, sestrichka!! Mon Dieu! Je m’excuse, mais je voulais pratiquer mon horrible francais, aujourd’hui. J'arrête, maintenant. You actually did tell Albena? Fab-u-lous. Pleeeeease, you must tell us. Of course, when you find the time, darling. I shall attempt to wait patiently.
