Watching it now.
My highlight so far was Sikharulidze's interview about how he heard about Elena's accident with her former partner: "My first reaction was: I want to kill Oleg!"
Gotta love Anton. That dude doesn't mince his words.

I watched the entire show and can break it down to this:

• Elena and Anton had a relationship, but over the time it had developed into more of a friendship, or even bromance
• Anton immediately told Elena that Steven Cousins is unreliable and that he himself (Anton) would have to feed Elena's children one day
• when Elena was asked about the break-up and the divorce with Cousins, she only said that one day he told her that he was unhappy, so she packed her bags and went to St. Pete's. That's all she said. Oh yeah, and that one time, he couldn't come to his daughter's birthday and she just doesn't understand how someone could be that way.

In general, she didn't say much about the break-up with Cousins, but her tears showed that there is more behind that than what she said. I also think she regrets not getting married to Sikharulidze, since they still are "bros" and he is her most loyal friend nowadays.

This show has shown me once again that Anton Sikharulidze really is the greatest guy in figure skating ever (Sorry, Sergei Grinkov) because he really cared for Elena and protected her from everything, even after their personal relationship was done, and he still is her best friend and supports her wherever he can. Anton Sikharulidze is a true man of honor and the true Prince who overcomes all the obstacles to rescue his princess.

Thanks for recapping, @Moka-Ananas!

Aw nice to hear about their friendship. Anton Sikharulidze had the best line and carriage I've ever seen from a male skater.

And flexibility! You forgot flexibility! I was rewatching some of their programs recently and the arch in his back combined with the leg extension above his hips during pairs spirals was truly .

Dmitri Guberniev, he's a sports commentator that covers figure skating often.
