Riccardo Cocchi & Yulia Zagoruychenko announced retirement - International Championships 2019 DSI TV

[@marilynpiemontese9128]

Its going to be a long time before dance has another couple with such strength and style. It's so hard not to watch them. Congratulations on a fabulously successful career!

[@lorettamemphis]

This couple is so classy. No one dances like them. They truly deserve every award, cause no one dances like them, they will be missed.

[@tracymelton4302]

The dance world will not be the same without them competing. They are simply the best. Yulia epitomises grace and style and her footwork is like no other dancers. They will be sorely missed. Every success and happiness for the future to you both and thank you very much for all the pleasure you have given to millions of people across the world. Xx

[@barbarahyatt7888]

Tracy Melton Are you saying they’re not going to dance anymore?

[@tracymelton4302]

No I am not saying they are not going to dance anymore but they will not not competing so we will not have the opportunity to see them like we currently do. They will be sorely missed.

[@jjd3216]

My absolutely favorite professional dancers. Followed them on KZbin for many years. So happy to know they are now taking time to further enjoy life together, in retirement. Will be greatly missed in the dance world. But wish them so much joy in this new chapter of their lives.

Эта пара на сегодня - лучшие в истории латиноамериканской программы бальных танцев! Такой объём работы сделан за эти годы! Ни одна пара такой техникой исполнения как у Юли и Рикардо не обладает! Анатомически четкие движения, вложение чувств в каждый танец, невероятно эмоциональная подача движений... Их планку не достичь никому! Высочайший уровень! Такие только ОНИ! Бриллианты! Каждый танец - целая история! Каждый танец от Сердца, от Души, вложение себя без остатка! Богиня и Бог Латины! Лучшие! Лучшие! Самые Лучшие! ЗОЛОТЫЕ СТРАНИЦЫ! Колоссальный вклад в развитие латиноамериканской программы! Легендарные танцоры! Люблю их! Спасибо им! Все в нашей жизни когда- нибудь заканчивается и эта сказка подошла к завершению. Думаю у них получится воспитать не один десяток достойных учеников! Продолжение следует...

[@joetesta3352]

UniquelyMade. its interesting to me that so many of the complements and admiration of this ultra successful partnership is so often directed only at Yulia. Its as if Riccardo doesn't exist. I cant recall another world champion couple that is spoken about in such a lop sided manner. It doesn't say balanced, equal partnership to me. Having said that, I couldn't agree more with your comment about Yulia. This lady is extraordinary and showed throughout her entire career that she can do it all, and supremely well.

[@chuckie102883]

Joe Testa Ricardo is great too BUT she is the star of the coupling, no woman moves like her that I’ve ever seen. I’ve seen hundreds of Ricardo’s but only one Yulia. I’m just keeping it real.

[@joetesta3352]

UniquelyMade. Please don't misunderstand me. I completely agree with your sentiments 100%. For me this will go down in the history books as the second most successful dancesport partnership in history, but will it be remembered in time as one of the all time truly great balanced and equal partnerships, Like a Donny and Gaynor or Corky and Shirley. Its an interesting one its for the future to decide I guess.

Do you know the old and oh so true saying the saying? home is where the heart is. Do you even think before you type. I suspect not.

[@helgechristophersen7665]

@@joetesta3352 There are lots of Italians (many millions) and Russians that are residing in the United States, and immensely proud of representing that country. The fact is that Katusha LOVES America, although she came for Moscow. She owns a huge studio in New Jersey. Mr. Joe Testa HAS NO RIGHT to dispute dancers representing America with ugly comments. No man on the planet writes so many SILLI comments. He does not even tolerate that I mention R & Y´s legal country, even in a sentence mentioning the upcoming retirement World Championship indeed located in R & Y´s own legal country of representing the dance sport. It is World Record of SILINESS.

[@joetesta3352]

H.C Here for your own education is the ENGLISH dictionaries definition of the term HOMELAND...…. COUNTRY OF ORIGIN, THE COUNTRY ONE IS BORN IN, A PERSON OR PERSONS NATIVE LAND, MOTHER COUNTRY, FATHERLAND. DO ANY OF THOSE YOU MENTION FIT THIS DEFINITION? NO!!!!!! SO THE USA IS NOT THEIR HOMELAND. You claim to be university educated but you don't seem to have learnt much. Why do you insist on pouring large buckets of warm lard over yourself. I HAVE TOLD YOU BEFORE, YOU ARE IN WAY OVER YOUR HEAD TRYING TO DEBATE WITH ME. If you were a really smart man you would SAVE YOUSELF ANY MORE PUBLIC EMBARRASEMENT AND JUST STAY OFF THE KEYBOARD.

[@helgechristophersen7665]

@@joetesta3352 It is contrary to international law to define homeland as you do. Homeland is the land of your home and legal residence. THAT´S why ALWAYS R & Y officially are introduced by the speaker in competitions: "FROM THE United States OF AMERICA". In dance sport it is VITALLY important not to insult your country, or the country of others. If an American born in Kongo, cannot call USA his homeland, it is contrary to law. If he is mocked by someone that Kongo is his "homeland", it is criminal. The President even has "Homeland" as the official name of his Cabinet Minister. I have university exams in political science and international affairs, covering this field. I have also university exams in English and American, (and thirdly, in religion and Christianity).Your so-called definition is NOT a government or international law definition. You are on a very dangerous path which is extremely dangerous to the dance sport. You are so dangerous that I am going to instruct all the leaders of dance sport to regard you as detrimental to international law and in fact the laws of dance sport.

[@joetesta3352]

H.C. Oh Dear!! This does explain alot to me about you. If threats are all you have left in your armoury and its well obvious it is. then you have totally lost this debate. I am a threat to no one but you, because I have seemingly exposed you for what you are. An ego driven would be if he could be. I have challenged your dance knowledge many times and you refused to offer any answers to what are simple dance questions or used spin doctoring. I'm not interested in government definitions. And there are no laws in dancesport preventing freedom of speech unless its recently become a dictatorship. Please go away you are such a vexatious person. What happened to your words recently I don't want to discuss anything with you. That's what you said, so what are you doing here. You are only embarrassing yourself, don't you see that.
