Team Russia Test Skates: Junior (Aug. 1-9) and Senior (Sept. 7-8)

[TAHbKA]

And now to two Mouline Rouges back to back

 

[alchemy void]

they could stand to fix the music

It really needs a poorly remixed dance beat in there for me to be totally on board.

 

[wickedwitch]

Yesterday must have been a fluke, because Sofia's triples look much better today. Of course, that still won't get her back to Worlds.

 

[Amy L]

What's with the cover with the heavily-Slavic accented female voice?

 

[Wyliefan]

Oh, I'm so glad to hear Sofia did better. Can't wait to watch.

 

[rfisher]

Sofia's dress is really pretty

Very sophisticated. Maybe she's trying to separate herself from the kids.

 

[TAHbKA]

Samodurova rocks- a Mishin programme that I don't hate. It's an achievement.

 

[PRlady]

Sorry to be That Person but I can’t find the feed on ok.ru?

[rfisher]

Hmmmm.....Sofia or Stasia......hmmmmm

 

[text_skate]

Konstantinova looks very good in red. She's so gorgeous

What a pity that the field is so deep

 

[TAHbKA]

Konstantinova - again, all lovely, am not sure how will it beat the Moscow girls

 

[Wyliefan]

Hmmmm.....Sofia or Stasia......hmmmmm

YOU STICK WITH STASIA.

 

[rfisher]

A1, A2, A3, and A4. Who will quad? Who will push one of them out of the top 3?

 

[oleada]

Hmmmm.....Sofia or Stasia......hmmmmm

Uber Stasia and leave Sofia alone!

 

[rfisher]

Dani G keeping up with all the animal tissue boxes. They all have their own.

 

[TAHbKA]

Um.. why does Scherbakova have a fig leaf on erm... where Eve had it?

 

[rfisher]

Adelina looks

 

[Wyliefan]

Um.. why does Scherbakova have a fig leaf on erm... where Eve had it?

This year's crotch flap. Guess it was her turn.

 

[Wyliefan]

Dani G keeping up with all the animal tissue boxes. They all have their own.

He's probably just thanking God he doesn't have to wrangle all their dogs!

 

[ChelleC]

Wow @ Zagitova. Loved that!

 

[wickedwitch]

As much as I like yesterday's SP is how much I dislike this LP. It's like a "Worst of Dani G" compilation. And her below par PCS stick out more.

But if she lands the jumps, I'm not sure if it will matter.

 

[rfisher]

Totally biased, but I don't care. I loved that from Zagitova. She comes alive in the step sequence.

 

[PRlady]

Good job Zag! And she smiled with all her teeth so maybe she’s auditioning to move to the West.

 

[mollymgr]

I like her LP more than her SP. That was great from Alina!

 

[Holy Headband]

If you'd told me Eteri's camp would be making an ~Oriental~ medley program, this is exactly the level of authenticity, research into local dance forms & cultural sensitivity I would have expected.

 

[Amy L]

My feed died after the first 30 seconds and then came back during the last minute of that program. I can guess what I missed, lots of jumps and random leg kicking?

 

[TAHbKA]

As said, I don't see how Medvedeva's programme would beat that

 

[TAHbKA]

1st channel rocks - put a commercial break in the middle of zagitova's skate

 

[Holy Headband]

Scherbakova's jumps are so perfectly Eteri. Even if she lands that quad lutz, it's going to look ugly and unimpressive.
