Big boys

Dima WD because of the injury he got before Test Skates.

Only Mozalev and Katichev are in costumes. Misha is wearing white gloves.

Kolyada
Tango in a madhouse.
3Lz, 3T, 3A two foot, 3Lo, 1A, 3T, 3Lz+Eu+3S.
The program is gorgeous. Averbukh knows how to work with such music.

Katichev
3A<< fall, 4T< fall, 3Lz+3T< hangs on, 2F, 1A, 3Lz+Eu+3S, 3Lo.

Lutfullin
Once upon time in America
3Lo, 4T(q?) hand down, 3A+2T, 2A, 4S, 4S, 3F+2T hangs on.
Wow. I loved it. Much better than his last FS. Gleb definitely improves his presentation. However, I'm doomed to have Shaidorov vibes all the season.

Ignatov
4Lo<< very scary fall, 4S+3T, 3A very good, 4T+2A, 2T, 1A+Eu+2S, 3F<< very scary fall again
The first Makar's FS music choice I liked for him.

Gumennik
4Lz< step hands down (could get a fall), 4Lo(q?), 4S+3T, 3F, 4S< fall, 3A(<?) two foot, 3Lz+2T+2A
Another olé music choice. Liked the music and program overall

Mozalev
4S(q?) out of turns, three turn at the landing, 4T+2T, 2Lo, 3A(q?) hand down +2T out of spread eagle, 4T< fall, 3A< out of spread eagle, fall, 3Lz+Eu+3S.
Liked it more than his SP and last FS. Choreo is very good, the costume is ok for this program.

Why can't it be time for Russian senior test skates already? Still two more weeks to wait.
Hope Dima will be ok and it's nothing serious!

These two weeks give us a hope that Zhenya, Dima and another Dima (Kozlovski) will participate.

3Lz, 3T, 3A two foot, 3Lo, 1A, 3T, 3Lz+Eu+3S.

That'll be an all-season treat!

 

[AlexBreeze]

Kadyrova/Kolesov
Wearing pretty white costumes
Shaky triple twist
3S+Eu+3S
3Lo rippon
Throw 3Lz
Nice lifts
Throw 3Lo
They did backward outside death spiral (Yasmina used to do forward inside in catch-foot position with Balchenko)
I think they are already better than K/B.

Mishina/Galliamov
Absolutely perfect SP.

Brilliant news all around...apart from the white costumes. White ain't my colour.

[lariko]

Here I am finally watching Day 2. Poor Lukin.

 

[lariko]

Also, aww, wish Aliev well! I dunno if I want to watch test skates, with the litany of falls. I mean, maybe if I brew some Zen tea first….

 

[lariko]

Actually, better than I feared from Mozalev… and he put those falls together with some less hectic choreography. So, together with Kolyada they’re going to take us in a psychedelic journey this season.

Moscow Championships is still happening, I guess these are the seniors, but they're not on the results page. Weird!

these are novice skaters. They are in the result page.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Oh I thought they'd already finished that up!

Shows what I know. And wow I saw a 4T, I didn't know novices were allowed to do those!

 

[Mariiiiskate]

I was not expecting a 4T and 4S from Margarita! 1st time trying quads didn't work out the best but she stayed up on the 4T. So good for her!

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Considering the whole issue with Andreevas FS with her old team im assuming she is keeping her old FS from last season which was cruella?

 

[anonymoose_au]

Oooo a Cruella program!

With an epic costume! Go Liza A!

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Another quad attempt! this time from Alena P. Alena tried 4lo in the beginning of last season but that didn't work out so they have moved to 4F apparently.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

The craziest thing about this competition on the women's side is that this has basically been a lesson in less difficult, but cleaner skates beating more difficult, but less clean skates.

This has not necessarily been the feedback skaters have been given in past seasons in competitions (both in Russia and internationally), so I'm wondering if the tides are changing on quads now.

 

[LadyB]

Last Junior IDs on the ice in Moscow. Very much looking forward to it!
