From Russia With Love [#40]: Summer 2021 & into the Olympic season

[love_skate2011]

The Test skates havent started but from practices Valieva and Trusova look good for this olympics cycle barring injury.
The third spot a battle between Kostornaia and Svhetbakova, who would predict this ?

Practices are just practices. They are not competitions. They are not even test skates. I wouldn't write off Shcherbakova.
I read that she has an injury and hopefully she will recover soon. We saw her win the nationals while battling sickness in 2021.

Kostornaia May be a question mark right now because I have not seen much of her lately. I would not write off her either.

It seems you didn't even think of Tuk for the third spot! I would not count out her either.

 

[kalle]

Has there been any reports if Uschaeva has started to land any 3A? She had such a great 2A last year so upgrading to a 3A does not seem completely unlikely.

I would not count out Khromyk with her quads either..

I would not count out Anyone this early.

 

[love_skate2011]

I did not expect the second stepsister Kromykh to get quads again this season
anyways. I'll stand by what I said before Kromykh landing that quad is a FLUKE.

the First Stepsister, Usacheva, I highly doubt she can get a triple axel this season
triple axels are much harder to learn than quads, and if your not landing it in practices there is no hope this season.

Also the two stepsisters, seem to be getting the short end of the stick
with their music selections.

Is this stepsister metaphor a thing on some other thread? It feels creepy to me....

 

[BittyBug]

Would y’all please use the Russian Women thread for ladiez and leave this one for the other disciplines? Спасибо

No, it's just one poster trying to make "fetch" happen.

New interview with Aleksandr Zhulin

«Текущая задача — собрать всё в одну тарелку»: Жулин о Синициной и Кацалапове, «пьяном» блюзе и судействе в гимнастике

Идея Международного союза конькобежцев (ISU) соединить в ритм-танце фигуристов блюз и стрит-данс очень неожиданная, так как первый предполагает «неторопливую текучесть», что создаёт определённые трудности. Об этом в интервью RT рассказал экс-чемпион мира в танцах на льду и тренер Александр...

Nikita had an exacerbation of his chronic back injury in the off-season, but feels better now. Other than that the guys didn't have any problems and are 50% ready for the season. They will do Russian Cup event in Syzran and then Denis Ten Memorial in Kazakhstan.

 

[Frau Muller]

Wasn’t sure where we’d congregate as we watch Russian Test Skates but I’ve posted a “Good morning” reminder in the Sr/Jr Russia Test skates thread in our KnC forum if folks wish to comment -

Post #22 and on...

how far have Boikova / Kozlovskii been left behind by Mishina / Galliamov in just a year.
His Strength is what makes Mishina able to do more lift variations which Moskvina loves

I dare anybody still say M/G and B/K are equal and Moskvina has no favorites.

I think M/G are just stronger mentally and physically. B/K has a great short they just cannot skate it. I have not dared to watch the LP yet.

Their packaging for SP and LP are all wrong
you cant get any more overused than warhorses like Swan Lake and Zorro, worst part was they couldn't pull it off.

Its already a warning these test skates they are so messy, thought I don't expect them to be thrown under the bus by the Fed during an Olympic season, but If this season turns south for them, I'm almost certain they will leave Moskvina.

Maybe with Tut if Tarasova / Morozov retire after this season, but did you saw Tutberidze staring at Mishina / Galliamov, she is watching them and I think she admires them.

I tend to compare Galliamov before with Bruno Massot, maybe on a higher level ?
Galliamov is what Massot would have been, had he been expressive with fine lines and better posture.

 

[SmallFairy]

Zorro??

 

[love_skate2011]

Zorro??

their FS is mask of Zorro

 

[Karen-W]

No, their FS is Malaguena. I haven't listened to the Mask of Zorro soundtrack or watched the movie in a long while so it's possible that the party/dance scene used Malaguena but the music has been around far longer than the movie.

 

[museksk8r]

Galliamov is the perfect pair man. Mishina is so strong and I love that she is proving her former partner so wrong about her abilities. I am such a fan of these two!!

She was just too much woman/skater for him. You have to pity the man. His injuries also made him irritable.

Galliamov is just a lovely specimen of a man, Mishina was fortunate to find him. He is a gem.

Mirzoev was short, just a little taller than Mishina
it was never gonna work long term. His short stature caused his neck and shoulder injuries.

No, it’s Malaguena

 

[SmallFairy]

Too bad Russia can’t send Trusova to NHT to get that third men’s spot.

 

[Ka3sha]

Sinitsina/Katsalapov, Tarasova/Morozov, Tuktamysheva, Kolyada and Lazukin are all scheduled to compete at the Russian Cup event in Syzran on Sep, 22-26

 

[Ka3sha]

Mark Kondratyuk is going to Nebelhorn to secure the third spot

Interviews with all coaches after the test skates

КОНТРОЛЬНЫЕ ПРОКАТЫ. ЧЕЛЯБИНСК. 2021

На ледовой арене «Трактор» в Челябинске прошли контрольные прокаты фигуристов сборной России. Это был премьерный показ программ, с которыми спортсмены будут соревноваться в олимпийском сезоне. В

Zhuk/Svinin commented on S/B and S/E withdrawal. Stepanova had fever and angina few days before the test skates, so they decided to stay at home. Shevchenko had a severe c19 case in June, hasn’t recovered yet…

Angina at her age is not good. I hope they are both ok.

 

[hanca]

I think it may be a mistake in translation. At some parts of the world ‘Angina’ is a bacterial illness (although in some occasions it can be viral too) with high temperature and sore throat (tonsillitis). Whereas in English speaking countries Angina means heart problems. As the reports about Angina comes from Russia, my guess would be that they meant tonsillitis and it has been wrongly translated.

Thanks. That's a different situation then.
