Okay so it seems that a couple people managed to get into test skates which were apparently semi-open this year (warning very long post)
Ishkin started
- Kanysheva has skated excellently.
- Tarusina, Sinitsyna, Kanysheva all have kept last years programs. All skated well.
- The composition of the girls is Kostyuk, Kanysheva, Sinitsyna, Tarusina, Tarakanova, Vasilyeva, Moroz, Chistyakova, Shcherbakova, Trusova, Gulyakov, Kostornaya.
But Moroz did not skate very well, problems with jumping.
(when asked about Gubanova and Tarakanova)
- No Gubanova, although in the first workout there were only 7 girls, 5 more will go in the second group so there could be a place for her.
Tarakanova very well skated, jumping confidently, the program liked, the music is a tango.
then another poster Katedle joined.
-Daniil chopped Kostonaya's music with an axe. I will not forgive him.
(a lot of debate about Daniil's sanity)
Katedle again
- Tara looked gorgeous! Very pleased with the program, everything jumped clean and well.
- At the end at Kostornaya's prgram there were more strange sounds.
(Ishkin when asked about Trusova)
- The program was all right, cascade with loop. Shcherbakova is also excellent, the cascade is also with loop.
- Chistyakova, unfortunately is in the company to Moroz, she was bad with jumps.
- Kostornaya cascade with a toeloop
Katedle again.
- Shcherbakova + Trusova: 2A, 3F, 3Lz3lo
- Kostornaya: 2A, 3F, 3Lz3T
(someone asks/mentions in Shcherbakova fell/touched the ice with her hand on her footwork)
Katedle
- Tarakanova liked most of all
- stumbled (about Shcherbakova)
Irishkin
- Kostyuk also had last year's program
Katedle
- Kill Bill for Sasha has a normal cut. The cascade in the accent to the main track.
(when asked about Anna's music)
Katedle
- Shazam did not find.
Irishkin
- It has a gentle melody
Katedle
- By nature close to the past Chopin. Delicate melody, as already written.
Irishkin
- At the meeting after the competition, there will be the analysis of each program and evaluation.
After the skates, everyone approached Tarasova, she told them her opinion.
Loveskater (talking about the Eteri girls)
- At 17.15 on the fifth floor, there will be the analysis of rentals. After that, you can probably see the ranking then.
IMHO Trusova, Shcherbakova, Kostornaya - in this order. Anya touched the ice with one hand, this is not deduction.
Katedle (Sisnitsyna's layout)
- 2a, 3f, 3LzLo
Loveskater (when asked how they put Shcherbakova above Kostornaya given her mistakes)
- Anya had more difficult content and a better skate. But this is purely IMHO
Irishkin (asked if Plushenko was with Tarakanova)
- Yes, with Plushenko. By the way, he watched all the skaters.
Katedle
- Tarakanova has a spanish/catalan tango
- It's unfortunate that Kostonaya is not able to take the chance to jump a -3Lo combo.
(debate about whether or not Kostornaya is being treated unfairly/used as a back up in case Trusova or Shcherbakova fall on their quads then back to her SP)
- Judging by the SP, they did not even think about Alena's personality. The music for this program, moreover, chopped with an ax.
- Most likely the combo is unstable so they decided not to compete it.
(when the music for Alena's long was revealed)
God, I hope Daniil's musical chainsaw will not be too cruel.
(who was there)
- Dudakov and Gleikh were with the girls. EG and Rozanov were not there.
- Plushenko was also standing attentively watching all the programs.
(on Gulyakova)
- she fell on the combo
- Mishin was sitting next to/near by TAT
Review by Irina,
In the first warm-up immediately recognized Tarakanov and Tarusina. The rest were unfortunately not I did not recognize and the announcer was inaudible.
Tarakanova skated well, but in my opinion, not so отмаш as in the past.
I liked Tarusina, she jumped well, the program is from last year.
The rest of the girls also liked it, all by the way, without mistakes, except for one girl who doubled all jumps.
In the second warm-up, I recognized everyone. The first was Trusova, I liked the program, I already wrote content, jumped easily and high. Her spins have been changed, no more than the one for which she was scolded last year (where a bad stretch is visible). Liked.
Then came Kostornaya. I liked the music, but when there was a transition from one melody to another there was a squeal. Maybe it's just a bad sound here? Well, the ending is strange. Kostornaya had a small blot on the combo, so maybe she jumped the toeloop? And so very plastic. Axel was high.
The third was Gulyakov, she jumped the first jump, and then a combo. On the second jump of the combo fell. She also fell on the warm-up, but I do not know from the same jump or not.
Then it was like Chistyakov (?), She unfortunately did not jump anything, but the spins really liked the programs, the music was like Trankov's with Volosozhar.
The last was Shcherbakova. She performed in black. Very lightly and gently, just on the footwork stumbled.
Unfortunately, tomorrow I'm leaving and will not be able to see pp.
(asked about costumes)
- Tarusina wore last year costume, the rest wore practice clothes.
Info from other sources (cited by various members of FSO)
Shcherbakova was the best today. just sensational. The best sp for me. She left me speechless.
Tarusina did not jump + 3lo combo. it was 3Lz3T.
Moroz and Chistyakova .... poor girls (((
Moroz 1A, 3F 2Lz
Chistyakova 2A, 2F, 1Lz
And then general things mentioned.
- Vasilieva is also skating to Rondo
- Tarakanova's coaches are apparently Plushenko and Ksenia Ivanova (who previously coached A. Ryabova, K. Valieva, and M. Ermolin)
- According to Isu Bio's. Kostornaya is 148, Trusova 150, Tarakanova 154.
Although, I am actually pretty excited about the new programs - very unusual and messy, he's experimenting and I guess in a couple of seasons he would have already made a few masterpieces based on this modern style.
