Breakout Stars of the 2015-16 Season
- Thread starter Layback11
- Start date
For junior ladies, what about Yuna Shiraiwa? She was truly out of nowhere this season and probably has even surprised her own fed with her JGP performance.
At the senior level, let's give some love for Elizabet Tursynbaeva too. She has been posting TES to compete with the top of them even though her presentation has yet to catch up.

I'm a fan of Elizabet but she's far from a breakout star yet. Too messy. Once she catches up on presentation and cleans up her act, then she may break out.

For me, it has to be Boyang. If you say his name repeatedly and fast enough, it would probably create the image of his entire program. 
For me, I still wouldn't call this Breakout year, since she already burst into the spotlight with a GP win. But then again, if she somehow manages to medal at GPF and World's, I might actually change my mind.

I am guessing you're referring to the sound of saying "Boyang" repeatedly? But his surname is actually "Jin"

A little clip of Shizuka being paraded around after she won the gold medal in 2006. And look who's sitting in the car next to Shizuka. So cute!
Anyway, Rika is really lucky to be able to get all the one-on-one session with Akiko. No wonder she was able to improve her performance so much within a short time. Girls who are flailing should contact Akiko for some sessions.

Thanks for sharing (love Japanese FS TV!!!)
Papadakis/Cizeron, Cappellini/Lanotte, Ilinykh/Zhiganshin, Bobrova/Soloviev, Coomes/Buckland, Sinitsina/Katsalapov (likely), Guignard/Fabbri (likely), Fournier Beaudry/Sorensen (probably) come to mind immediately. Probably someone else. Same for Worlds, add here two or even three US and two Canadian teams, maybe someone else. I'm all in for them being in top 10, but I doubt this will happen this season. Time will tell, I guess. Maybe I'm wrong
I bookmarked this thread just in case.
They have tons of work to do. I mean TONS. But potential is there, definitely.
I forgot about P/C since we haven't seen them yet this year, you are right about that. Co/Bu could beat them but I don't view it as certain. I don't think G/F will beat them, especially with the current programs, or that FB/S will either. I could of course also be wrong- time will tell
LOL I also bookmarked it just for fun
I think it's time to come back to our little discussion. Hate to say this, but I told you so.

These were my predictions in November. Petr didn't get to go to JW, but I think I did pretty good apart from that

Well he is not exactly in Ice Dancing but his performance was indeed like a dancing extravaganza, wasn't it. I absolutely LOVE this boy, I have since last season!!!
Absolutely gorgeous. He moves like a great ice dancer and does the jumps. One of the highlights of these world championships for sure
I am not sure most of the names mentioned here exactly qualify as break outs. However I am surprised nobody mentioned Mikhail Kolyada. Now here is the real break out star. From literally a nobody until this Fall to getting into the last group at Worlds in the Spring. Like, hello!!!!

Probably because the thread is from the fall when he was still a "nobody" (to those who don't follow Russian skating, at least). Rostelecom Cup was his first major senior competition.

Funny you say that because Kolyada is the first person I thought of, but then he totally captured my interest at CoR! I thought he would do well at Worlds but honestly didn't think he'd place as high as he did. Very happy for him and look forward to seeing where he goes from here.
Other breakout stars of the season for me:
Boyang Jin - not a huge fan of his skating but certainly have respect for his unbelievable jumping prowess
Evgenia Medvedeva - has won almost everything her first year in seniors

If you take a look at a similar thread called New Discoveries of the Season which was started after COR, quite a lot of people did mention Kolyada. But I don't think any of them thought at that moment he would go as high as 4th place finish at the World...!!!
