2015-16 Russian Test skates

Unless I'm having a real bad day, ears or understanding today, that's not german ;) If it helps, she does say triple cherry flip and it does seem to mean 3 toeloop. Now I would like to know which language that is :biggrin:

Yeah that's Dutch. I haven't heard the toe loop being called a cherry flip before though. I think nowadays they just say toe loop too, though I admit I never watch with Dutch commentary so I'm not sure.
 
My problem with Elena's Titanic program is the music for the most part, all sounds very similar. I would prefer if there was some variation - e.g. with Les Mis and Phantom, at least you get to hear different songs and themes so it remains interesting. With Titanic, it all sounds so repetitive. Actually, Julia's LP music also has the same problem- it all sounds so repetitive. I wish them both the very best with their programs this year, though I'm not a fan.
 
....I really enjoyed Radionova's free. Can't wait to see a HD version so that we can see her little face emoting!

I just really like her. She's crazy. I'm crazy for her.
 
I have to say, I really don't think I'm watching the videos of Y/M that everyone else is. To me they looked promising and talented, but their lack of experience on the senior level looked very noticeable to me. I'm sure they'll be great in coming season's but at this point I don't see them getting out of Russia this year. Perhaps I'll change my mind!

Well, they are at Skate America & TEB this season so they will be out of Russia. An interesting battle at Skate America among the young dance teams: Hawayek & Baker, Nazarova & Nikitin, & Y&M--though I think H&B at home and with an extra season & GP medal are on a different playing field this season. Still, it's an interesting glimpse into the future to have all those teams in the same GP.
 
Please change that combo lift. :drama: First pose is just ugly and then changing into rotational is very awkward. Rotational pose is very generic too.

Their free dance is very very boring. They should add more tempo in it. But shouldn't be a problem to beat Steapnova/Bukin, Monko/Khaliavin or others just because of skating quality.

I don't know if they changed the lifts from last year (they kept this program right?), but that was dreadful. I expected more. And I agree with it being boring. There are a lot of same positions for Bobrova throughout the dance.
