2022 Russian Nationals Novices (Older Age)

[LadyB]

Nice one! But probably not enough for podium.

 

[LadyB]

I have a soft spot for Rodionova/Karpov. They've been having a really nice season.

 

[LadyB]

It makes me happy to see the future of Russian pair skating seemingly secured. A lot of interesting couples performed here
Kudos to Marinina/Finokhin, they've done their redemption skate and I hope we'll see them soon on the podium again.

 

[Flying Feijoa]

Their time will come. As the wise @Flying Feijoa once said, they can't win everything, otherwise they wouldn't be dark horses.

Thanks for the reminder, I actually forgot I said that and started worrying for a sec
Christmas didn't really happen for Kirill, I hope Boxing Day will be better...

It's on now with the boys FS.

Not sure who this is, but they've really taken on the open shirt and a untied tie look really seriously.

He's Arseniy Slovyagin...I like his style!

He's Arseniy Slovyagin...I like his style!

His style is great, his random music cut is... not.

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Woahh, all the boys have wild music cuts today.

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Well done, undercover Moskvich boy Roman!

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Good for Roman he went clean!

He is tho insanely slow on the ice, I hope he can gain even a little bit more speed.

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Completely off-topic, but I just saw that another Challenger Series event was scheduled in Graz, Austria for 2022.
Live figure skating, here I come!!!!

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Yay Kirill k went clean as well!

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Oh, that was a lovely performance from Kirill, the younger!

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Very watered down program content for Kirill the elder, and still he wasn't clean. Hope nothing is wrong and he will be ok again next season!

 

[Mariiiiskate]

well it wasn't a full blown disaster skate for Kirill A some bad landings and 2 pops but still far from his best skate I feel like he peaked during the cup stages. It was a smart choice to leave the quads out.

Hopefully next season will be better and he will be back to the form we saw in the Russian cup stages again!

 

[Mariiiiskate]

well its not Boris's best skate of the season but not a complete disaster either

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

The stream just died, but Semion's second try at the 4T looked awfully off-axis in the air.
ETA: Lol, the tech box is still counting, but no video.

 

[LadyB]

Ey, what the heck!!! Just when the most interesting boys are starting!

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Well, Semion won't repeat his medal from last year. Better luck next season, though he's aged out of novices I think.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

quads didn't work for him today glad he didn' go for a 3Aand normal triples and 3-3 worked out well for him

Hopefully next season goes better for him!

 

[LadyB]

Davai, Timofey!!!
