Overview
- Evgeny Vinokurov said in a new training update that the late-season push feels like a “cramp and fight,” with high mental and physical strain and two full dances to learn.
- The pair earned 30 points for both routines in the ninth live show, which put them into the top five; on Let's Dance, three judges can award up to 30 points in total.
- Vinokurov recently became a father for the third time and missed some rehearsals, and fellow pro Valentin Lusin briefly filled in so training could continue.
- Anna-Carina Woitschack described a sharp physical shift from early extreme muscle soreness to no longer feeling sore, though she still has bruises and says she lost seven centimeters at the hip and estimates about five kilograms.
- Their ‘Magic Moment’ was dedicated to Woitschack’s father, and with the finale set for May 29 they say they are focusing on each show rather than looking ahead.
