Looks like the 2 juniors Arlet LEVANDI and Jegor MARTSENKO are warming up with the 2 seniors.

ETA:

Levandi kept his SP from this past season (Youth Olympic Games) to "Natural" by Imagine Dragons.

Thank you Sylvia!

Gerli
The Show Must Go On (Queen)

I'm thrilled she's still skating! Get that second spot at Euros.

3Lz<+2Lo
3F fallout
2A ok

I liked it! Good music edit.

53.68

Kristina Shkuleta-Gromova
ALSO skating to The Show Must Go On (don't tell @SmallFairy)

3T+3T
3F
2A

Good job! The combo looked weird, definitely some Amber Corwin-esque pre-rotation going on there, especially on the first toe. But this is the best she's looked in a few years.

Liked Gerli's version better, though. Didn't see much connection to the music.

56.16

Nataly Langerbaur
not skating to Queen

2A
3Lz fall
3F, hands down but rotation looked good

skippy stream

 

[alchemy void]

Kiibus
Sign of the Times (Harry Styles)

nice starting pose and opening choreography
stream skips over a lot
??+2T feed comes back in the middle of the combo
weak flying sit
2A held on

Awesome music choice. I really liked what I saw, even though she's clearly under trained. She's so committed to the character and choreography.

49.39

ETA:

The results page has been updated with links to protocols.

Mihhail SELEVKO - "Nothing Else Matters" - different version than last season's? (Rippon 3Lz, 3A, 3F+3T)
Aleksandr SELEVKO - "'Bout It" from the Step Up film soundtrack (4Lzq, 3A, 3F+2T, CSSp fall?/no points)
Both short programs were choreographed by Denis Lunin, according to their IG story clips.

Livestream (Thursday):

EUL Kontrollvõistlus 2020/2021 - August 26

Junior FDs are done, Junior Ladies FS underway.

 

[Hanna]

Really liked Netjaga/Gaidajenko FD, hopefully they'll actually get to compete with it somewhere.

 

[alchemy void]

Just in time for more ladies!

Langerbaur
Hallelujah

3F+2T big!
3Lz two foot
2A+3Lo<<
2A clean, but ugly technique
3F< two foot and then stepout
2S
3Lo two foot

Ambitious content! I'm not familiar with her. Odd jump technique. Components are average at best.

82.84

 

[alchemy void]

Kiibus
Rach Piano Concerto 2 (Zu Hauser)

2A+3T
3F+1Eu+2S v the euler was a stepout, nice save
3Lz good
1F
3Lz+2T shaky
3Lo shaky
2A

Not bad at all! New jump layout, new program. Some really nice choreographic highlights. Really looking forward to seeing this develop.

110.99

 

[alchemy void]

Gerli
Frozen (Madonna)

3Lz+2Lo messy turnout
3Lo fallout. big jump though
3F solid
3T
3S+2T
Now we get Madonna
2Lo
2A shaky
Unnecessary remix for drama footwork which is 3x too fast for her, I'd stick to the original here.

Good music choice. I like the program, although the instrumental at the beginning goes on a bit too long. I'd like more attitude and a voidier dress when we get to actual competition.

Overall Gerli is a more than worthy successor to Glebova.

100.20

 

[alchemy void]

Shkuleta-Gromova
Still Loving You (Scorpions)

Nice opening choreography
3T+1Eu+2S
3F big, great
3S
3T+2T ok
Um this kind of dark and I'm kind of loving it.
2Lz+2T intentional doubles
2Lz
2A strong
Ending pose needs more drama

Definitely the biggest surprise for me here. She is in good shape and I'm always down for unique music choices. I'm assuming those double lutzes will be triples later in the season, seeing as though she only did one 2A and 3F in this program.

99.65

Thanks for the Sr. ladies' PBP, @alchemy void!
