Hello everyone! We recently returned from Japan, which was postponed because of the recent tragedy. We sympathize with the Japanese people and we hope that they can deal with their problems as soon as possible. In this post we’ll talk about our trip the land of the rising sun, what we saw there, and what we’re doing now while

Thanks for translating this! It was really interesting to read their play-by-play of what went down for them just after the quake. (And poor Florent! No wonder he was scared.) I love how matter-of-fact/bluntly to-the-point Trankov always is. And he's the first person to explain the reasoning behind starting with new boots now! I didn't really understand why Rachael and John Coughlin were both doing it. And

On April 2nd we’ll be performing in a show in Sweden on the birthday of our friend Stéphane Lambiel

awwww. :D

IKR? I keep reading that blog for the combination of Tanya saying adorable things and Trankov talking about skating as if media training didn't exist. And, yes, Florent being scared makes so much more sense in the context of what he was told compared to what was actually going on.

I hope the Sweden show (Stockholm on Ice?) leads to a million adorable photos and/or videos of Stephane's birthday party :3

He's from the Urals. They are tough guys there XD
But it's strange reading thgis to know that he's nicknamed "Mr. Emo" sometimes.

Isn't that mostly bc of his hair and his camwhoring? Don't get me wrong, I love his camwhoring~
