Apparently Yulia is really good at doing impressions. Here she is doing her best octopus.

Why octopus? :laugh:

At first when I saw that I thought daaaaang they had such gigantic treadmills in Sochi! Then I remembered how small Yulia is...

Because that position looks like something only an octopus would be capable of.

Are there rankings for most graceful falls in figure skating?

AAAAAAAAWWWWW :eek:

I missed a pair of weeks and see what's new... :love:

I've read her new FP will be Romeo and Juliet... Is it official now? Is it a reference to her junior program or something completely new? Which version of R&J?

It looks to be a new choreo. Ilia worked on it and the music version is new, which I personally like more.
This is the program she did in Moscow but it's a short version: https://vk.com/video-31036833_169841846

Okay papa, how about taking this one step further: a dramatic, premeditated, choreographed fall. Megapolis starts softly, like a fast moving brook. This musical element continuously builds, increasingly antagonistic and tense. In the tragic final notes it crashes to an abrupt halt (just after her last spin). So why not have Yulia crash also, come reeling out of the spin, then plop down with her hand still weakly in the air? With this gesture of defiance to the stagnant conformity of the system, Yulia the innovator would become Yulia the iconoclast. It fits the musical message perfectly, she would be the first skater to deserve points for a "fall." Not sure she would get them, but guaranteed this would be another reason to remember her fondly, forever. A new category, the dramatic fall. Shake'm up for all the right reasons, Yulia.

OT to Alba in case you missed it: Международный день балета: Большой театр / World Ballet Day: The Bolshoi Theatre

I like your idea, except that catching gesture has really grown on me, so her hand not "weakly in the air", but reaching for the kite with determined, emphatic gesture of defiance, just as in test skate. She might be weak little girl, tired and exhausted, but her will and desire to follow the dream is strong and should be emphasized: she falls, the audience sighs in compassion, but boom! Little girl catches the kite and wins!*

Now that Eteri's Juniors are finished until JGPF she is probably focusing on her Seniors. I bet Yulia is in full training mode and we won't see her out until CoC. Fortunately Persik is there to watch over her and give us an insiders tiny perspective on what she is up to.

World Ballet Day was a sequence of 4 hour segments from companies in different world locations broadcast live on Oct. 1. http://rt.com/news/191860-ballet-live-broadcast-rehearsal-bolshoi/

After the live broadcast each of the segments was posted without editing on youtube in good definition. The Bolshoi broadcast includes a rehearsal and interview with Zakharova (from about 56:30) doing Grigorovich with the old codger himself supervising.

Yulia doesn't believe in superstitions. :no: Remember when they asked if she got upset or made a deal out of a black cat crossing her path. Her reply was: "I honestly don't care....they have to run somewhere" :laugh:

Thank you so much sjid. I missed that.
I'm dowloading the whole thing. This is the one, right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnQoLHybExk

I don't either but the judges might. :biggrin:

Actually I'm worse than her and sometimes I'm scared of myself, because the black cats always change their way when they see me. :disapp: :laugh:

I'll go for that. Do you think such a fall would fly with the judges?
