2020-21 Russian Nationals: Pairs' Short Program

[Skatesocs]

Pavliuchenko/Khodykin - they have a very cute dynamic, and I enjoy watching them. He tends to swallow her a bit though.

Boikova/Kozlovskii - Well, I like her. He's kind of a mess. This program is a snooze for me.

Mishina/Galliamov - better program than B/K, but she's kind of forgettable for me, and he's hammy in a college-freshman sort of way.

Kadyrova/Balchenko - They have some very nice qualities, and I hope they are built upon more.

Am I the only who thinks P/K should've been in first? B/K are great but this isn't the best program for them and they had that one mistake.

I mean likely, yes. But, RF isn't stupid. They know who their best pairs are and they are doing all they can to make sure their best pairs come out on top.

I'm still not used to Vladimir Morozov the redheaded Viking

I would probably put them on the first place too today. Nothing against B/K program in general though.

Ooh if they let Evgenia Tarasova play a shieldmaiden and have the two battle it out I'm buying the program wholesale

No you are not—I agree. P/K were on fire, they came to compete; everybody else looked under prepared

nice tango program

Voronov spotted at the boards. Love this generation: Radionova does choreo at CSKA for Elizaveta Osokina + other juniors, Lipnitskaya coaches, Klimov as well. The future of Russian FS seems bright with these ones.

 

[Ichatdelune]

How did he hang onto that 3T

Solid skate overall, not the most captivating program for me though

By the way I remember liking Kvartalova/Sviatchenko as a team, wonder what happened to her?

Diana and Ilya, these are the folks who were juniors last year, with the Chess program—am I right?
