Most of all I'm excited to find out what Timofey Stolyarenko and his choreographers have prepared for us this season. Can it even get better than the brilliant programs he had last year? I'm also really looking forward to Kirill K. and Kirill N. (he grew up so much ) as well as Alexey Efremenko.
Max Belyavskiy's continued absence is a bit concerning though. He posted pictures from summer camp in Sochi, but hasn't been seen on ice ever since. Hopefully it's nothing serious, I warmed up to him last season with his emo ballad and musical covers.
The Moskvich Juniors from Ira Sharova's visit, August 2023:
Yesss Lady Caliph is one of my favourite war ponies and I loved Andrei's Melodrama SP, apologies to Elektra... If it's more on the classical side, I think he'd look good in something from Chopin or (also oddly specific) the Anyuta grand waltz. I really like the 2nd photo with his arms in 3rd position, reminds me of the way ballet dancers pose for photoshoots. Coach Vika once mentioned something like the elegant lyrical style is his strength but not wanting to overuse it - so since we've had a season of Vronsky+Vampire, it's high time for Romantic Andrei to reappear!Andrei: https://www.instagram.com/p/CvaUz1PqX_m/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
Definitely something classical, balletic. It suits his skating style and he has such stunning extension with his long limbs. It's oddly specific, but I would love to see him perform to Nocturne from The Lady Caliph. Alternatively, he can always be a vampire again.

He does like his warhorses. There is a lot of pointing going on in some of the pics, so maybe some rock for a change? Why not try something from the Scorpions? That would be sufficiently warhorse-y while still giving him the opportunity to show his skating from a new side. Please not Queen.
That's relatableThe sweet sadness of the music almost made me cry (not kidding, I'm a bit emotional lately).
Slightly belated well-wishes to all Coach Vika's team past and presentHappy coaches' day!
I'll take this occasion for a bit of nostalgia.

What a great jumper she was, the Lutzes in particular are stunning.

He had some creative spinning positions and was definitely ahead of his time when it came to wild music cuts.
And for old times' sake and also because I like this performance a lot and have been waiting for an opportunity to post it.
