THX AlexRus! Makarova is boring for me, Sotnikova was better, than in her LP, but I enjoyed Korobeynikova's skating style.

Korobeynikova's short program looks better than the long. We have seen so many black swans and swan lakes recently, and the choreography was worse than much of them. Her movements match well with Romeo and Juliet. Her jumps look weak but it's just the beginning of the season, she will make them better in time.

It is simply more trained.

What they all really can - we will see at GP events. Or may be before them at Federation Cup.

I still can't believe Kustarova had the audacity to give her top team who is moving up to seniors "Ting Tang Walla Walla Bing Bang"

[Skater Boy]

Is it just me but I sometimes see Menshov pulling out his inner Pluishy - the body, the hand movements, the stalking of the jumps, the air on the ice and even the blonde locks. Sometimes he screams Plushy.

Thanks a lot for all the links!

Loved Adelina's SP. Strong music suits her best. The concept of the program, however, seems almost the same as last season's Bolero, though.
to Leonova's SP...

Oh my... Your jokes are just Obviously not, since none of them are Team Russia. They are training in Novogorsk with Morozov, basically- residents. The test skaters are just visitng that lovely place. www.novogorsksport.ru/gallery/5/ www.novogorsksport.ru/gallery/about/11/

I personally don't have any favourites among Russian dancers or any dancers. I/K were heavily promoted in their after junior period but then they had disappointing results. Bobrova/Solovjov were more stable but couldn't "fix" their status #1 of Team Russia last season. S/Z are still junior and I don't think they will podium at RN this season. I think Razyanova/Tkachenko will get the 3rd spot, so basically the Team will be the same as last year.

Thanks!
Does that mean we are going to read a report/article on Morozov camp by Tatjana later? I really hope so. Pretty please, Tatjana!
