2023 Russian Nationals among Boys and Girls (Older Age)

But seriously what is happening with Mikhailov choreography?
He made nice programs for Makar Ignatov (career best free imo), Akopova/Rakhmanin, Alina Gorbacheva, Ilya Yablokov, etc. Although he sometimes (sometimes!) has self-repeats, overall he is a good choreographer. I think CSKA programs are like this because of Svetlana Vladimirovna
Samodelkina's SP music is 'Can’t Help Falling in Love' performed by Diana Ankudinova, choreo by Nikita Mikhailov.

'I'm not much of an expert when it comes to women's programs. I haven't had that kind of experience. I rushed back and forth, realizing that I didn't like anything, that it was all just nonsense. We did a short program with Nikita Mikhailov, everyone seemed to like it, and we started working on it. And then suddenly I heard the music 'Can't Help Falling in Love' by Diana Ankudinova - Sasha Trusova and Dima Mikhailov skated to it in the show. I called Nikita over to me and said, "Compose me this music for two-fifty." - "For whom?" - "For Samodelkina, short program." - "Are you crazy?"

That's how we changed the program. We took away the emotion here, changed the steps there, Sonia can't understand anything. But now I really like what we've got.'
Of CSKA's programs this season, I liked Samarin's free and Trusova's short

Now I admit I didn't see most of those, since I'm focussing a bit more on the Russian junior circuit this season for my own sanity, but I'm really, really mad about the sh*t he gave Grigory Fedorov. :bang:

Totally agree on all your points. Especially regarding the wonderful Akopova/Rakhmanin. :love2: (y)
 
Davai undercover Moskvich boy Ruslan! Vika just keeps sneaking them in via the smaller regions.
And he is also wearing one of Lyosha Erokhov's old shirts. He literally supplied half of Moskvich's skating fashion this season. :laugh:
