Ice Age (Russian: Ледниковый период, romanized: Lednikovy period) is a weekly Russian ice show. It is originally produced by Channel One Russia (Pervy Kanal), broadcasting intermittently since 2007.[1]
Description
The show Ice Age consists in a sports TV competition of several couples in figure skating. One of the partners in each pair is a well-known representative of the Russian theater, sports, ballet, stage, cinema or television, far from this sport, and the other is a titled professional in sports ice dancing or single figure skating.[2]
The skills of the competing duets are judged by five judges headed by Honored Coach of the USSR Tatiana Tarasova. The marks are given on a six-point system in the same way as in real figure skating competitions before 2005 - for technique and artistry.
In the period from 2007 to 2014, the participants were divided in two teams led by coaches Alexander Zhulin and Ilya Averbukh. Coaches were also the authors of the dance numbers of their wards. Since 2015, Ilya Averbukh has been the coach and producer of the show. Figure skaters Maxim Stavisky, Albena Denkova and Elena Stanislavovna Maslennikova are also involved in staging dances and working with participants.
