In Turin the weather is wanderful....sun and blue sky.
At five o'clock the skaters are at Olimpyk rink .
I was there at six o'clock and i cannot see them entering.
At eight I come on...
The glance is wonderful. The Zamboni is polishing the ice and everything is sparkling.
At half past nine the show is starting and the Palavela is full!!!

After the Hot Shivers there are some Italian skaters :Contesti, Valentina Marchei, Cappellini- Lanotte
( their exhibition is brilliant and cheerful, Goodby my lover - James Blunt )

Dube& Davison dance on Coldplay, Fix You. They appear already in good form!

Then will be the turn of Stephane, Albi & Max and Carolina.

Stephane with his tango (Otono Porteno by Astor Piazzolla) stirs the crowd.
He's already perfect on the artistic aspect, he proves only two jumps because he
cannot make a normal training because of his injury.
But we know him : his gesture, his elegance, his arms movements are incomparable!!

I look with my binoculars... at the bottom, Albena & Maxim are ready!!!
And also my heart is ready....to burst!!
The last time that I saw them was at Olympic Games where there had not what they deserved (and I was so angry!!)

Now I must excuse me with you all becuase I have no...pics...I cannot take a pic when I am watching.
I must see every little movements !! Normally somebody comes with me with camera,but Friday the ...operator, was ill....

Our darlings have the blue dress.. ....and really they dance" You are beautiful"!!!
A little disappointment... .On the official program I read .." Cry Me a River, My Love".....

Only a moment...they are so beautiful, so perfect in the execution, their performance is fantastic... Also the lights ( Palavela is better than Datch forum ) are in accord with the colour blue and blond...
A lot of hand clapping for them, like you can hear from the video ( and the Turin people are quiet and a little sophisticated.. )
I am sure they are happy !!

Carolina dances on a great piece written for her by Giovanni Allevi : Come Sei Veramente, Angelo Ribelle,
she is like Stephane...infinite class but not still in great form ( but it's normal...in this moment).

The second part begins with Magitteri&Hotarek with a pleasant "Material Girl".
Then Plushenko...( Tango- Edvin Marton)...You can see on Youtube his performance. He's great!!

Faiella& Scali seem already in form !! The exibition in Turin isn't the same of Milan.
In Milan they will surprise with a piece from Missy Elliot, much innovative!

Jeffrey Buttle dances on DepecheMode, no Eclogue .., I never saw him so...modern...
but is very good, obviously

Another couple already almost perfect (and you can be sure because I don't like them very much...)
is Delobel& Shoenfelder, their" My Immortal" ( Evanescence) is very interesting.

Aliona e Robin with spatial dress interpret efficiently Lost in Space. Good form for them...
Oh , I forgot Sasha Cohen!! ( Hurt, Christina Aguillera) She is superb!

DancinQuinn with Hot Shivers and Don't feel like dancing ( Scissors Sisters ) with
all the skaters nail the splendid evening.

After the show I meet Albena & Max !! I speak a little .....They are kind ,smiling..
Albena is absolutely beautiful! Both them seem so young .... Maxim is tender ,clear and sincere look....
I adore them more and more...

I have also the ticket for Milan ...

In Milan they present the new dance....
The comment of Maurizio Margaglio "They always are tecnically perfect...they present many difficult lift perfectly executed...You can understand because Maxim is considered
one of the greates skaters in the world....."

Now I am very tired, but it was worth going!!!!
