What's wrong with these people? Why in the name of all things awesome don't they put I/Z and S/K in the same Group? I bet they'd be selling popcorn by the truckload and you know you'd pay $5 for an all day internet feed wouldn't you?

Better yet add Bobrova(/Soloviev) there as well and you have triple the fun. Of course that would only work if there were only two groups. By the way, why are there three groups in ice dancing when there are only two groups in pairs?

I think I will agree with you on that :laugh:

What is Russian figure skating without a bit (or, better, TONS) of drama after all? :drama:

I just found out from VK that Mihsersh is in Austria recording Junior GP, so I guess we have to count on official RusFed channel and fans invention... :eek:

He stated weeks ago that he would not be in Sochi. Probably just looking at fancams for vids.

Julia and Evgenia both look very good in the short clips posted. This is going to be exciting.

You all will fall in love with Julia Lipnitskaya this season.
Again. :love:

I completely agree. And her jumps have very good height in that posted short clip, but she still flutzes, but who cares?

It's hard to notice flutzes while you're sobbing, wiping your nose and glasses, isn't it?

Is that second jump a salchow? It looks good :thumbsup:

You can tell she has been working on the lutz too because her entry is so much better. Absolutely beautiful music too. Keep the good news coming!

Honestly I can't say myself, from that far and above, if that's a flutz or lutz.

Keep the clips coming! Julia looks great - looks like she's adjusted to the changes in her body. I like most of the top Russian ladies, but really pulling for her to make a comeback this season.

Julia has been rolling thick with Liza today

LOL... it is an entertaining thought, but most likely it is arranged by coaching staff. Both Zhulin and Kustarova/Alexeeva have two teams. If they went for two groups, one group would have to have four teams, since I am assuming the coaches will be there for their teams and it makes most sense for the coaches to show up to just one session.

I think Julia looks great. She's definitely a lady now and not a little kid, but her jumps look bigger and stronger which is good news. Her 2a looks less whippy and that 3sal was very nice, in the past it's given her trouble so this is good to see.

Any updates with Anna Pogo's program yet? She is another one I am really looking forward to.

I think Leningrad is a very good choice for Julia... I presume is a FS? It sounds epic and cinematic and practically a sequel to Schindler's list, from one European tragic heroine to the next European tragedy. I hope she get an uptempo happier music program for the other program to make better contrast.
