Zheleznyakov's dance and physical exercise class in the older group,
Morisi needs to work the hardest to keep up with the fit girls

Kamila looks so gangsta

Love how she really throws herself into it. In another life she could be a dancer too.

I still want a crowdfunding campaign to get Sasha new (white) boots.

Does Risport have white boots? IIRC from an interview, Risport are more sturdy under Aleksandra's jumping prowess.

Wow, it just shows who is the most musical and flexible girl out there. Anna! No doubt, she truly is something else!

Honestly, Anna can make anything look good.

the competing rink also shows off their dance classes, but Zheleznyakov's are still several leagues above the competitors.

I'm surprised how tiny Shcherbakova is, you can tell she's grown when you watch her skate but here she looks so tiny still.

Of course, Pretty much all Risport boots are available in both black and white, its very unusual to see beige or whatever Trusova's colour

The lovely Emma Gadzhieva, always nice to listen to.


She discusses Gleikhengauz on the set of Ice Age, Plyushchenko's comments on Valiyeva's scores and the new quadruple jump of Trusova.

Don't really know where to put it, but since it concerns the subject of this thread, I best leave it here.

the 2020 olympics will 100% for sure be held next year, so i don't see a reason why 2022 would be cancelled or postponed.

Tokyo Olympics: Games will go ahead 'with or without Covid', says IOC VP

The vice-president of the IOC said the Tokyo Olympics would be the "Games that conquered Covid".

Maybe I read something earlier and got confused.
Edit: Actually, I would say nothing is for certain. In March, the IOC was "committed" to hold the Olympics this year so things change. Not to be a pessimist lol

 

[silveruskate]

All good, but Anna is definitely the best and a natural dancer.

Oh, don't worry. Whatever they say NOW, what happens will depend on what the situation is by THEN. Making any definitive statements now is no better than future telling. Of course, hoping for the best!

As to Olympics 2022 its certainly still uncertain what will happen no matter how dedicated the IOC is to hold it. It does not look like Corona is going anywhere and since we cant stop it or contain it from what weve seen so far. It seems like it will most likely stay around similair to how the spanish flu of 1918 (as the historical situation most similair to covid 19) is still out there. If there is no vaccine it will probably go on for another 2-5 years. However I have seen several interviews with researshers that seemed to think that some vaccines being developed now could realistically become available summer/autum 2021 and if that where to be the case a winter olympics in february march of 2022 seems doable. This of course opens up the problems of qualifications to such an event as this season is definitly going to be somewhat of a mess. So if there is a worlds 2021 the results may be highly skewed if som athletes or contries cant participate due to traveling and quarantine restrictions.

It may be controvercial but I like the tanned boots. They blend in better with the skin colour. White boots make it look like the legs are cut off at the ankles, looks weird to me.

Well remains to be seen, they can say a lot until then, but we cant see i to the future and knwo how the situatiin will look like next year. What happens if there are still travel restrictions or even border beeing closed. Olympics without spectators ? To much money they woudl loose

 

[plushyfan]

I like Sasha's 3A, but Aliona's entry and the jump itself is something else.

I agree. I have never seen such beautiful 3A as Aliona had in last season.

Several low ranked contestants have competed today in Southern Breeze tournament already.

2 more open spots left after Shcherbakova, Tuktamysheva, Samodurova, Gulyakova, Usachyova, Konstantinova, Nugumanova, Molchanova, Sarnovskaya, Sabora,

so add Shulskaya and Sultanmagomedova to complete the start list?

Oh, I wouldn't know much about that. I must admit I do not hold Zheleznyakov in high regard after his comments after Sasha left so I may be biased here (but who's not? ). Still, as for his classes, even when you look at this video you can see everyone is on a different level and comes accross differently. It is not like a group of proffessional dancers when you can say everyone is able to keep the same standard. And still they go through the same practice routines under the same dancing coach. So I think Anna really shines so brightly due mainly to her natural "ballerina" set of skills. Honestly, she would probably shine under any dancing coach of an acceptable standard.
Sasha is a different case and probably more appropriate for dancing coaches assessment as she is not such a natural dancing talent as Anna (I love her, but I am not blind). Therefore, watching how she is doing with different dancing coaches actually tells much more about the coach and his coaching skills. And everyone seems to agree that she is visibly doing much better in this department now when compared to when she was training with Zheleznyahov. So, it seems, he is not really that sublime when compared to other dancing coaches... sorry to say

This is the types of videos that make me wish I had 10 eyes. I had to watch the video 7 times in order to pay attention to each of the skaters (+Zheleznyakov) All of them are reaally good, but I agree that Anna is too talented. I had the feeling that in the middle she kind of lost the rhythm but the final part with the legs was superb. In my opinion, this has been always her strongest dancing feature - fast and complex leg movements without losing balance (sorry, for the unprofessional language since I am not a dancer).
