Have managed to find quite a few pictures now of the Super Match event.

Alexei did Overcome and a new routine.  The outfit is not the most stylish - Nike loose muscle top and long-baggy shorts.  Mind you, it does mean lots of bulging Alexei mucles and his nice legs on show, so I'm not complaining. 

Sasha Cohen is involved in it - he hugs her and she pushes him away, whereby he ends up on the floor.  If Alexei hugged me like that I'd hug back.  In fact, I'd cling on like a barnacle and they'd have trouble prizing me off him  :lol:

I've uploaded the photo's.  Here's a taster.





the rest are at:

hope you enjoy them.  can't wait for the video's

Thanks to Jinny at the AYDG, we have a photo of Alexei of his arrival in Seoul, S. Korea for the Super Match show:

The time zone in Korea puts it 13 hours ahead of current U.S. Eastern Time.  Here's the URL for the World Clock again:

Just subtract your time from the time in Seoul, and you get your own time difference.  Time differences vary at different times of year, because some places use Daylight Savings Time, and some don't, so the World Clock is the fast and easy way to check. 

Ah, Jet lag!  I don't know how he stands it. lol  But I think that usually, it's worse after the return flight.

The Super Match takes place on July 19th and 10th, and it's already  almost 11:30 p.m.  on July 17 in Seoul, so it won't be long.  At least Alexei will have a day to get ready.

From the AYDG, here's a new  Korean  article on the upcoming show, in English:

http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/sports/2008/07/136_27575.html

The article mentions that the fire at Mokdong Ice Rink caused the show to be cancelled last year; it seems like just yesterday that we were looking at photos of Alexei and Yevgeny when they had  exited the building safely.

Lina :)

Alexei is scheduled to do the Super Match 2008 in S. Korea, according to the AYDG.  A recent post there by Jinny says that Alexei and Yevgeny will skate *together* like a pair team (in a backup role).

The board was not accessible for a while yesterday; glad to see it back!  AYChing has posted a fun review of the play now, at:

It sounds like Alexei really went over well with the audience!  And I love the photos at the URLs Laurie posted.  Nice suit! ;)

Lina :)

Welcome back, Karenna!  I hope so much that your friend, Jennifer, is found soon.

*Hugggggggg*

I think you're right about people wanting to see Alexei, Sharon.  Anna on the AYDG has posted the last part of  her report, at:

Enjoy!

Lina :)

according to Anna on the AYDG Alexei took the stage the 2nd night and did very well.  She was there and will do a review at some time.

Glad to hear.  Perhaps people were disappointed the first night.  All the pre-publicity seemed to concentrate on Alexei so I think that's who people wanted to see - no offence to the other guy!

Thanks, Sharon. :)

The article indicates that the play yesterday, featuring the other actor, was not well received by the audience.  In a way, I'm glad that the other actor went first, so that, if tonight's show is not well received, Alexei can know that it is the play itself that is to blame, not he; but I hope it *is* well received.
