Welcome here deepedge ! and thank you for the news ;D I didn't except Marina will be there as it was Russian Christmas. But it's great for Elektra and Benn and I'm happy Marina's working with a talented couple now. Do you know if they will go to junior worlds? It seems to me they're clearly 2nd French junior couple, but the French junior Nationals are too late so I have no idea how it works. All in all Congrats to them and good lack in the next competitions ! here are many more pics www.histoires-dimages.com/evenements-histoires-dimages/international-trophy-lyon-2012/samedi/kiss-cry/ (link is to saturday kiss and Cry, but you can choose also Sunday (dimanche) or pictures from programs at the left of the page )

Hello I'am very pleased to announce that Elektra and Benn will be going to the Junior World Championship. I do believe that Marina will be there with Pierre. I 'am very excited for them as they have accomplished so much in such a short time. I think that it comes full circle that Elektra is working with Marina for Mr. Ponomarenko use to tell her she reminded him of Marina . I will keep you posted of when she will be back in France to work with them.

I agree Sandy And thank you very much for the news, deepedge! I'm happy everything goes well for Elektra and Ben and I'm happy Marina can work with a talented team ! I'm looking forward to worlds and hope there will be some videos on youtube or somewhere else. I was afraid FFSG will send Tifany and Alexis as they didn't qualify to short on Euros, so I'm happy Elektra and Ben will get a chance to skate and I wish them good luck and hope they will have a great time in Minsk btw.do you know if that tv show or interview is for French or Russian tv? If you have more information about it, please let us know

:)I would like to say that Marina is the offical team leader representing the french federation in Belarus. On a sad note I would ask all of you to say a prayer for Elektra her father passed away on Sat. Feb.18. 2012 so this is a very hard for her the emotions of skating in the greatest competiton of her life and the ending of her junior season on world championship ice with the death of her father. I know that she has great respect for her partner Benn and will skate great as she says we have the 6p's proper preparation prevents piss poor perfprmance something her father always stressed. So thank you all

Thank you very much for all the news! I'm so sorry to hear such a sad news . My heart is with Elektra and all her familly. I will so that they skate great and can be happy with their performance and enjoy at least a little bit their time in Minsk, even if I understant this is really hard now. Also thank you for the update about Marina. I moved your reply and also changed this topic's title so it's more clear and those important news don't get lost in M+N topic. I found one picture of Marina (with Galit) a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/419396_366238876734393_255007411190874_1305967_81910831_n.jpg but no picture for Elektra and Benn for the moment. But I guess there will be more as they start skating. They will skate their short in the third group...the results will be latter here as well. www.isuresults.com/results/wjc2012/SEG011.HTM Good luck to them

And sadly another bad news, Elektra and Benn didn't qualify to the free dance. Elektra had a fall on the step sequence. Had they skate like they know, they would easily qualify, just look where the Italiens who the beat in Oberstdorf placed. Sadly the mistakes hapen to everyone, even the champions.
I know it must have been really difficult for them, especially for Elektra. And it's not the end of the world. They achieved so much for the short time they're together !
I really hope they will continue to work with Marina and progress like they did this year and with more experience, they can have a great future, I'm sur. I'm already looking forward their Yankee Polka (I've always loved MG's polka ;D)
