From Russia with love [#27]: Summer 2017

[TAHbKA]

Tarasova loved Medvedeva's new LP
Is it a good thing though?

It is certainly good for that team. A negative endorsement of an Olympic free program would be unfortunate for them (or anyone).

 

[Bellanca]

Yes, when the Godmother of skating gives you her blessing, you're golden... Did Eteri have to 'kiss the ring?'

 

[analia]

TAT seems to have softened up a lot. She has adopted a "everyone is doing great" attitude as of late.

She's a horrible destructive force in skating now! As long as she isn't involved in creating Anything it should be fine.

Blinis for everyone!

[insert mandatory Janny will win reminder here]

It's an "it doesn't matter" thing, but I don't remember if she did this in previous years? Honestly for me personally, it won't be a tall order for them to improve upon last years LP.

If I don't hear George W Bush and his voice in the footwork, it's a hit as far as I'm concerned.

Love seeing her taste in pups matches her taste in coats, what's not to smile about?

I am so curious about who they invite to test skates from ladies and pairs.

 

[TAHbKA]

Is that Rubleva?

 

[Eislauffan]

Is that Rubleva?

Yes!

Any news on Kolyada's new SP?

Mihail Sharov wrote on fso that he liked Misha's new SP, it's serious but not boring
Kolyada looks great on that photo (and it looks like he has changed his hair cut)

Extreme fade!

(and it looks like he has changed his hair cut)

Finally! Looks good.
In future: probably better PCS

What a great lineup of young talented ladies!

 

[hanca]

I think I read that she has got a broken leg, so that would take quite a while to heal.

 

[hanca]

Zhuk/Britkov are substitutes. Did they not split up then? Weird, on the Russian icepartnersearch there is a girl with surname Zhuk searching urgently for a partner, with the same year of birth as Elizaveta Zhuk, living in the same city and having same coach (Tarasov). What is the chance that Tarasov would coach two Zhuk pair female skaters with the same year of birth?
Saying that, Russian skating has two Anna Solovieva, (with different year of birth and different coaches, one is singles skater and one is a pair skater). They also have two Anastasia Gubanova (one of them singles skater and one a pair skater, different year of birth and different coaches)
