Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin Ditch the 'Aboriginal' Costumes

By Jake on

It looks like Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin have bowed to the international outcry following their choice to dress up as "Aboriginal" characters in their figure skating display. The Russian pairs skaters had come under scrutiny after many deemed their outfits offensive. The costumes, which gave the two fair-skinned Russians dark skin and stereotypical accouterments of native Australians, were a big hit when they debuted. They won gold at the Russian figure skating championships with them...Read Full Story

Figure skaters Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin set pace

| From reuters.com

VANCOUVER (Reuters) - Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin passionately swayed to the beats of Tango Romantica on Friday to take the lead in possibly the last compulsory dance at the Olympics. While skaters were divided about the merits of the snooze-inducing compulsory dance, which faces the axe as it is the least popular of all figure skating events, no one could grumble about the way the Russian world champions performed with their deft footwork and precise holds to score 43.76 points...Read Full Story

| From afp.com

Canada's Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir surged to the Olympic ice dancing lead as world champions Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin's controversial Aboriginal-themed original dance failed to impress in Vancouver. A dramatic Spanish Flamenco allowed Virtue and Moir to overtake the Russians who had been leading after the compulsory dance, with the three-time Canadian champions scoring 68.41 points for the programme and 111.15 overall. The Canadians opened up a 2.60-point advantage on US champions...Read Full Story

| From ap.org

World pairs champions Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy are at the top of a familiar looking list at the European championships. But not by much. The three-time defending European champions were first in the short program Tuesday with 74.12 points, just .20 points ahead of Yuko Kavaguti and Alexander Smirnov, last year's silver medalists. Fellow Russians Maria Mukhortova and Maxim Trankov are also within a point of Savchenko and Szolkowy at 73.54, meaning the title will go to whoever wins...Read Full Story

Russian ice dance tribute to Aborigines offensive........

By arifhossain09 on | From dailytopcelebrity.blogspot.com

Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin , the favorites for ice-dancing gold in Vancouver, wowed the crowds with their routine at the European Championships. They sit in the lead after their original dance, a tribute to Australian Aborigines. Except, Aboriginal leaders don't see it as a tribute. They don't really see how it has anything to do with their culture at all. Domnina and Shabalin are required to do an original dance that is representative of a country's culture. The U.S. pair of Tanith...Read Full Story
