Yakovleva/Manvelov
Haven't seen them, was watching Russian callers debating levels for the Men SP
Monko/Borstov
Sex Bomb/rhumba/samba
SBS simple but good Tw
CoSp, both sit / she sit he upright
SlLi, he in spreadeagle, she is in b-t-h (since nearly every team has this combination, it would henceworth be called "standard")
RoLi, 3 rotations
DiSt, he stumbled
TM: 4.0-4.1
PR: 4.2-4.3
Zlobina/Sitnikov
Costume black and neon green, pants for both, is it allowed?
DiSt, nice character
CoSp, she Y / both sit
SlLi, "not touching" from Denkova&Staviisky FD
RoLi, one hand from Chait&Sakhnovsky Paganini FD
SBS, slow, he fell out from Tw
Very good choreography and style
TM: 4.3-4.7
PR: 4.5-4.8
Iliina/Bogachev
rhumba/samba
SllLi, "standard"
SBS simple, slow, out of synch
RoLi, struggling to keep rotation going
DiSt, slow, simple
CoSp, both sit, sort of fell out / she in half B.
They are outclassed here, I wonder what they are doing at Nationals.
TM: 3.6-3.9
PR: 3.9-4.1
Navka/Kostomarov
Fell on the opening steps and did not recover until SBS
SBS, slow, balance checks in the first half
CoSp
CuLi, "standard"
DiSt, slow
RoLi, one hand rather ugly position
Overall it was slow and uninspired
TM: 5.6-5.7
PR: 5.8-5.9
Gmyzina/Lobanov
Last year FD costumes
SBS good, nice tempo, good Tw
CoSp, both sit / she sit, he upright
CuLi, "standard"
SiSt, missed handholds in the end
They had very good start (they generally do Latin well), but did not keep the character towards the end
TM: 4.7-4.9
PR: 4.9-5.2
Orlova/Novikov
Start directly with SBS, out of unison
fall on conecting steps
CuLi, "standard"
DiSt, nice edgework, but slow and far apart
CoSp, she in B. / she in camel
RoLi, like N&K's OD
I did not like it, the character was lacking
TM: 5.0-5.2
PR: 5.2-5.4
Rubleva/Schefer
SBS slow, good one foot sections
CuLi, "standard"
CoSp
RoLi, changes of position
DiSt, missed hold
Nice character in some places, but did not keep it throughout
TM: 4.9-5.1
PR: 5.1-5.2
Romanovskaya/Grachev
CoSp, both sit / both sit
SBS, slow
SlLi a-la Delobel/Schoenfelder's OD last year with her upside down
DiSt
CuLi, "standard"
I thought they would do better Latin, this dance was technically good, but not very expressive
TM: 5.1-5.3
PR: 5.3-5.4
Khokhlova/Novistky
CoSp, she in b-t-h/both bit
DiSt, Tw out of unison
SlLi with her in donut
SBS, Tw out of unison
RoLi, one hand, she in donut
Expressive and fast, nice character and good choreography
TM: 5.4-5.5
PR: 5.5-5.6
Domnina/Shabalin
SBS, slow and soft, great edgework, but as a result it is only nominally straightline, because they travel in bold curves
CuLi, her "unassisted"
CoSp, both sit / she in b-t-h
DiSt, missed couples of holds, one in the beginning, one at the end
RoLi
TM: 5.5-5.6
PR: 5.7-5.8
Ladyagina/Shabalin
SBS, slow
CoSp, slow
CuLi, "standard", from long setup
DiSt,
RoLi, she in split
have not save the marks
