THX for your correction!

[FSGMT]

I really hope to watch Leonova's and Makarova's programs in ladies(see if they can stand the level of the young girls), in pairs Kavaguti-Smirnov (can they challenge V/T?) and Ryazanova-Tkachenko (the results of working with Shpilband)! If anyone goes, please film the programs!! And, generally, I hope to watch videos soon!

[AlexRus]

Videos may be here http://www.youtube.com/user/mihsersh
He is there and makes videos.
Added many vedeos, will be all probably.

Makarova http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpY46Cd7w-0
Black dress, black hair (looks like Leonova).

She is not ready to competitions (but has time), and damn if I know what it was - SP or FS or something else.

Biryukova http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctPNh2RvGcw
(also not ready)

Shershak http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaMAdBAeMz0
Ready for Turkey JGP. And 3F!!!

Korobeynikova http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJ01HYmbrSw
Music Swan Lake. It is only a "prototype" of program.

Leonova http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c81PTjWmeTs
Also only a "prototype" of program. Costume for training.

Julia will not do test skates, on her sparshavai she said you will see her first programs when she competes in Finland
also I don't think Elizaveta will be there, she was off the ice for max 2 weeks to heal a minor ligament injury and just started training again in the first week of september

Maybe it's a part of her LP? I am guessing the program isn't ready yet. This can't be her SP with the 3 jumps being 3Loop, 3Lz and 3T.

I really like Martiusheva/Rogonov
really nice, if they can skate this in GP cleanly, this will be very lovely and they have a lot of fans in the audience

I can not guarantee first place to Miyahara.

I don't think, that Makarova looks like Leonova.

I like Korobeynikova's skating!!!

[AlexRus]

I don't think, that Makarova looks like Leonova.

Leonova was dark, Makarova was Light. So dark Makarova associates with Leonova. Only this I mean.

[FSGMT]

I didn't like Leonova... I hope she changes all those meaningless transitions, they really look Morozov's style (but I don't think he is the choreographer, because in the interview he said he did only her SP, maybe Alena choreographed it herself what I mean is, she didn't gave her money away for this ******** program, right? ). I couldn't understand Makarova... was it an EX program? A SP-FS mix? Korobeneykova didn't land a triple, is she injured, was she focusing just on the choreography? Kavaguti-Smirnov... it can be good, it just needs refinement and practice...
