at least Makarova's LP is better than last season's horrible Marilyn
and isn't that Shershak's last season LP ????

Makarova's Long program. Maybe an abbreviated version at only 3:30 minutes and 3 jumps??

Thanks! Very nice expression and attack (almost too much, lol). Really pretty music. Love her upper body movement. Strange though, cause the beginning and end seem to be there, so maybe they cut from the middle (with most of the jumps??)... maybe this is an exhibition version.

Her hair is so dark! People won't be able to make fun of her blonde dye job anymore.

Perhaps, so I guess she is using it again.

Makarova still has no 3-3
and Biryukova doesn't look like in good shape is she ? that was a splatfest

I like Shershak , she now has a 3F attempted a 2A-2t-2t but I'm bored using same programs from last seasons

Leonova's Long program

Leonova's Long program

its a Japanese song I guess
but I thought it was an Indian Hip Hop ?

[Miruna]

its a Japanese song I guess
but I thought it was an Indian Hip Hop ?

I think it's Poeta(Vicente Amigo). I remember Lambiel skating to this music
Her SP is an Indian Hip Hop

[inskate]

its a Japanese song I guess

Nope, it's La Poeta En La Mar by Vincente Amigo, a flamenco piece (Stephane Lambiel skated a great LP to this piece).

but I thought it was an Indian Hip Hop ?

That was supposed to be her SP.

EDIT: Miruna was faster than me!

I listened to the second half and indeed Lambiel has skated to this music

M&R Short program

Again? I know this is a different piece of the ballet, but she had an SP to the Russian Dance from Swan Lake for the past two seasons.

Leonova's Long program

So much better than RFAD (it could hardly be worse). I like the footwork and I think the program will be better when she's in costume and fully selling it as only she can. I guess Morozov's MO is fun SPs, serious LPs. I preferred it when she had fun programs for both.

M&R Short program

lol, I guess today was a good day for me to be home sick. There were some pretty moments in there but it was a bit generic.

M&R Short program

Rough skate, but the program itself is lovely. The sbs jumps still need work.

Her dress is so simple, but so gorgeous.

K&S Short program

[love_skate2011]

lol, I guess today was a good day for me to be home sick. There were some pretty moments in there but it was a bit generic.

I liked it, hope they can clean all the jumps
and that fluke sack potato catch from her triple twist was a bit weird expression from them, lol

Smirnov's hair is disgsuting !

[julieann]

M&R Short program

I really like it, I think those errors esp on the twist will work there way out.

[Cloudy_Gumdrops]

Yuko's dress is fug! Makes her look like a little girl. I like Smirnov's costume though. I think he looks kinda like Bo Brady with the hair and facial hair. I kinda like it.

Menshov's Short program

[julieann]

I like Smirnov's costume (he does need a hircut!) but Yuko wore that dress years ago so I'm hoping she gets a new one (it is a test skate after all) although I wouldn't put it past Moskvina to keep it.

They look pretty good for a brand new program, I guess they just scrapped the "Cats"?

Smirnov also had knee surgery this summer too so I don't know how bad that was, it can only look better. It looked pretty slow.

Agreed. They look so mismatched. And didn't they use this music for an exhibition before? Very blah.

I do love Yuko, but Smirnov is so sexy and rugged, sometimes I wish his partner were more womanly, like Savchenko.
