Hmm some others taking part tomorrow will only be skating their SP. It's quite possible that's the plan for Sasha too. Anyway, we shall see. One thing is almost certain, he'll be debuting his new SP tomorrow.

For purely selfish reasons, I wish he'd do both programs - just so that I finally might find out what the programs are! Thank goodness I didn't know at the end of last season that we'd have to wait this long to find out... anything.

I'm quietly confident that the SP will be great. The LP is my big concern. If it is not ready to be showcased though, then I'd rather he doesn't rush it. He still has a week or so before he has to travel to Sochi. And even then, the Sochi test skate is more of a gala/feedback event.

But yeah, it is slightly annoying that there was no video from Tartu this year.
 
First group of men is done with.
There will most definitely be video.
Sasha is warming up now, he's in full costume. Lots of bling supposedly. "Gipsy"-like they said.

Edit:
They're saying his costume is impressive. :)

Woohoo!

:yahoo::dance3::cheer::party:

Oh, yes.. and good luck to Sasha.:)
 
Apparently his layout is 4T-2T, 3A, 3Lz. But he did 3T-2T, 3A (turnout) and 3Lz
Something like that.
If this is true, this is an ambitious layout. And he looks to be in good shape for this early in the season.

That sounds great. And when he feels more confident, they very well might turn the 4T-2T into a 4T-3T. I don't think it matters that he tripled it today - except it could have been good to have his first competitive quad out there and landed. Well, next time.:)
 
Thanks!

Well, what I can see of the program I like - he goes out of frame sometimes, doesn't he? Or is that some mistake on my end? The costume I can't really see well enough to tell.
I hope its just the lighting and it's not greenish-yellow. Anyway, I think it's still better than last season's costume. This one is at least artistic.

Edit:
There's a red belt.
Oh, just realized, it's Mao's music this season.

The lighting certainly is a bit odd, a bit yellowish, and I don't think one can tell what colour the shirt is from it - for the rest, it's just a blur to me, I can't see any detailing at all.

Correction, 4T-2loop is his layout.

Hang on, I will do something about it.

That's a very nice layout and the program looks quite good too.
Although I have to say, to me it looked like he did 3T+2Lo today, but that doesn't matter really.

Edit: oh, that was already corrected, never mind!

That is a smart layout.

There should be better quality video later today or tomorrow.
