Johnson & Johnson is the most convenient vaccination for the athletes and I hope they decide to get it if their parents think it's right for them for those under the age of 18 anyway.
Exactly. Sputnik was sent to many countries early on, incl Argentina, Hungary, etc. welcomed, used, effective. It can’t be that bad.
Ugh! Their SP that they debuted at Cranberry Cup was fabulous! The only tweak necessary is getting rid of that horrible costume change for Evgenia during the pairs spin and it would be perfect!
WHY? That SP was the best thing they've ever done?!
I for one am thrilled with this. It’s a gorgeous soundtrack. I hope they look to this for costume inspiration https://youtu.be/GgHpanAqkBc
This is doubly troubling because not only are they scrapping what could become one of their best programs ever for no reason but also, based on precedent, they'll just reuse the choreo with a different musical accompaniment that doesn't fit. I highly doubt their new program will be crafted with the same level of care.

Update: Trankov says the change was made because Clair de Lune wasn't showing off their speed and power.

People may not like his choreography, but you can't deny the results that come out of Sambo-70. They are competing against Mishina/Gal for another national title which is about the best prep they can have for the Olympics. (no idea what Bok/Kol are going to end up doing), but the point is still valid if they come out strong this weekend as well. I don't care what they skate to if they end up with an Olympic medal, preferably gold.No! I loved Claire de lune.
That's ridiculous. The program showed their softness without losing the speed.Update: Trankov says the change was made because Clair de Lune wasn't showing off their speed and power.

Trankov was right in 2019 when he made them skate to Rach2. I hope he is right this time. Ultimately though it's going to depend on how they skate. They even won the Euros with their Candyman LP.
But “Lighthouse” (their LP) is? If they want to show contrast between soft & powerful styles, I would keep Claire de Lune (SP) & kill the snoozy Lighthouse LP.
Does anyone know (are there any Russian articles?) if the upcoming test skates will determine who gets the Nebelhorn spot or is Aliev the chosen one?
Correct. The spot belongs to the country. Same with Zhou, Siao Him Fa, Sadovsky, and Lee - if those 5 skaters finish in the top 7 they have effectively earned their country an additional spot.
Claire de lune, which has been used by numerous skaters. IMO it fits them very well. We will see if W.E. Fits them better. I think it could,but as LP. Of course I don't want them to change the LP they have, which could be magnificent.
Entries belong to Federations, generally speaking, not athletes. Obviously for some smaller federations the skater that earns the spot will be the entry in the Olympics because that is the only option, but for Russia they will have their usual selection process to determine who goes to the Olympics.
As an exhibition, ok! Extra-looney costumes.
