Russian Senior Test Skates 2022

[AlexBreeze]

Averbukh said, 'I know that everyone in Mishin's group is going to take part in Test Skates'.

Not sure who 'everyone' is and whether they include Gleb. It looks like confirmation that Zhenya will take part (especially considering he is on the picture).

He also said that Liza had several versions of her (free?) programs and she is going to perform one of them in Moscow.

Матч! Фигурное катание

Илья Авербух рассказал Матч ТВ, что группа Алексея Мишина выступит на контрольных прокатах в полном составе 👇 🗣 «Ждать от контрольных прокатов рекордов было бы глупо. Главное, увидеть наших ребят в строю, что они продолжают вести планомерную подготовку к тем стартам, которые обозначены...

Soon enough, my prediction that a Russian event won’t reveal the skaters until they hit the ice to warm up is going to come true.

 

[AlexBreeze]

According to Sport-Express, Gleb Lutfullin is invited to Test Skates.

Yasmina Kadyrova/Valeri Kolesov are, of course, also preparing.

According to Olympic School St. Petersburg, Ekaterina Mironova/Evgeni Ustenko are invited to Test Skates.

I found a screen capture of a Test Skates Teaser by 1TV on another site.

Most of the skaters shown have already been confirmed to attend (Liza, Sasha, Sofia Muravieva, Sofia Akatieva and Adeliia), and Kamila was kind of a no-brainer (though I don't think there was ever any "official" information).

What is interesting (and worrying) to me, is that Dasha Usacheva wasn't shown, despite all of the other Eteri girls being featured. She's part of the reserve team, and all of the other skaters shown are part of the main team (except for Sofia A., but she's on the main junior team and clearly the big hope of the Russian federation right now), so maybe she will still attend? Idk, it's just a bit weird to me. I assumed she would attend if she was healthy/recovered enough, so now I'm just a bit worried about her (I hope I'm wrong and she will be attending and 1TV just made some peculiar choices for this promo piece).

i dont think she has all her jumps back yet, according to her fan page she is not going to be there but isn't injured either. Im not sure if she was even invited. I think she might be keeping last seasons programs which means she doesn't really have anything to new showcase.

Considering the way junior test skates went where everyone was harshly judged for not being 100% on form as if test skates whole point is not getting feedback on programs, I wouldn't want her to take part with only some triples if she is going to get ripped apart by critics.

I wonder where Kseniia S is at. She is part of the Junior main roster. She wasn’t at the Junior Test Skate along with the two Sofia’s. Those were the three that didn’t compete in Juniors segment. With all the injuries, she surely has to be invited to Senior Test Skates, right? She came in 9th at Senior Nationals, right behind Elizaveta and Maia.

Who knows... she doesn't seem to be on the entry list...

There is no official entry list yet, it won't be released until the day before test skates, so there's really no way to say if she is or if she is not on the entry list.

If you're referring to the list we have compiled in this thread, keep in mind that it only includes skaters who have been announced to be training for or having been invited to test skates (either they talked about it themselves, or their coaches, choreographers, 1TV promotional material, ...). Neither Kseniia nor her coach Svetlana Panova gave any interviews this off-season, nor was there any video material released by 1TV, but that's not necessarily indicative of her participation in test skates.

Someone on the Russian forum mentioned that she may be doing pairs with Kunitsa. It is a gossip so no one knows how accurate it is. She might have been trying just a few things for a fun, or maybe she really switched…

Entry lists will be published on Wednesday

I'm starting counting the minutes now. Really can't wait!

I saw her in person at Skate America, and she is sooooo tiny! Pairs might make sense, and what better year to change over?

I'm excited to watch, but after last year, I don't think we will see anything close to the same standard. Post Olympic hangover which is normal, but Sasha and kamila have been so busy with projects, shows, adverts etc., and neither seems to be in competition shape. Sofia S has had injuries and a growth spurt. There is no urgency this year of course, and it shows from the clips I'm seeing.

Plushy posted Sofia titova with an updated Step Seq to her short and it looks fantastic. (I wonder if we will see Junior test skates, take II?")

Junior test skates are already over

Junior test skates are already over

Well, despite Kogan said that there will be no second junior test skates - it seems they will be.

September 29 - SP, 30 - FP

 

[AlexBreeze]

I wonder if Kogan knows when Wednesday morning is. Perhaps he was referring to some time zone outside Russia?

Artem Kovalev and Artemieva/Bryukhanov are taking part at the training camp in Novogorsk. It doesn't guarantee that they will perform at Test Skates themselves, but it's still curious enough that the Fed has invited them.
