2020 Russian Junior and Senior test skates

[Lara]

Samarin after that, oh my.
That will be something.

Skate orders can be cruel...

 

[SmallFairy]

I can't watch this morning, other than for the next 5 minutes. Of course I get Samarin.

Sokolovskaya's hair is crying out for pink or purple tinting.

To go with orange? Pink then.

 

[Immortelle]

why is Samarin wearing a winAmp skin from 2001?

So that’s where I’d seen it before!!

 

[Jeschke]

I like that he is more invested in his programs now - but this FS is such a step backwards.
Meh.

 

[Ananas Astra]

Poor Fawkes didn't deserve to end up on Samarin's shirt.

 

[Amy L]

His shirt is more tango Firebird, so I'm glad the music actually turned out to be mediocre jazzy pop.

 

[Immortelle]

This jars after Kolyada...

 

[SmallFairy]

Poor Samarin, this just looks like such hard work after lightness of being Misha.

Music is very Samarin. But combos ain’t happening. He’s awaiting them tributing Ryabova, but then their not just happening.

 

[Ananas Astra]

He shouldn't be keeping this program alive.

 

[Jeschke]

They better turn that folklore SP into a FS by tomorrow!

 

[thvu]

That was... a skate.

[Colonel Green]

Is anybody at this Russian domestic event skating to music with Russian lyrics?

 

[Ananas Astra]

Is anybody at this Russian domestic event skating to music with Russian lyrics?

Nope, but we have Danny Samohin for that.

 

[rfisher]

Ted, yeah that was a contrast all right

 

[ChelleC]

Bless Ted Barton's positivity. Because only he could have found something positive to say about Samarin after watching Kolyada.

 

[Hedwig]

Kolyada - I am such a sap - I had tears in my eyes and I swear that deep down - very deep down - Mishin had it too.

 

[Wyliefan]

I can't watch this morning, other than for the next 5 minutes. Of course I get Samarin.

Sokolovskaya's hair is crying out for pink or purple tinting.

Sofia could probably help him out.

 

[rosewood]

Kolyada

 

[Theoreticalgirl]

Kolyada's FS is a stunning masterwork that gave me shades of John Curry. I'm a pile of goo.

 

[rfisher]

Any Russian speakers watching the interviews? Is Ignatov OK? He doesn't really look like he is.

 

[SmallFairy]

Oh dear, Makar can barely breath during the interview...

 

[Ananas Astra]

Misha's smile...
This guy is so adorable on every possible level.

 

[kittyjake5]

Mikhail!

 

[Colonel Green]

Ted goes on a tangent about Moskvina often needing a stool to see over the boards.

 

[Jeschke]

What the hell is Galiamov's top?

 

[rfisher]

Oh dear, Makar can barely breath during the interview...

He looked like he was wiping away tears as well. I hate to see them really hurting.

 

[Wyliefan]

Virtual church on one screen, skating on another. If lightning strikes me, remember me fondly.

 

[Ananas Astra]

Meh, Queen...

 

[Jeschke]

ISU should make some stepout rule for sequences - I hate this saved combos (as impressive as the save may be)
