Russian Junior Test Skates 2023

[AlexBreeze]

This program would suit Samarin perfectly.

Grigory is going for an insanely difficult lay out isnt he its not working for him at this point of the season but he could challenge the older boys if he can get it together and go clean during the big competition this season.

I dont like his programs this season either.... but at least they are not a disaster like last seasons ones

I miss his 21/22 seasons programs so so much. He is an artistic skaters , who is capable of so much more than what these programs they give him allow

 

[Mariiiiskate]

This program would suit Samarin perfectly.

The Image that they are going for Grigory seems to be mix of Samarin and Mark and its just not working in my opinion.

This is cool music, he looks like he is going to miss every jump, and yet he lands them.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Another "Iron". But it's absolutely different from Arseniy's SP.

 

[LadyB]

It's so good to be back. Can't chat much now, but I'm thoroughly enjoying it.
Well, not the Ave Maria bit - yes, we're back!

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Puzin has been really impressive during these test skates. Im hoping this season will continue in this trajectory because this boy has always had so much potential, its unfortunate he was out for part of last season.

Nobody:
Literally nobody:
Younger men in Russia every season: Someone has to have Once Upon a Time in America FS.

 

[katymay]

This program needs work, but he has some nice jumping ability. He actually reminds me of a young Plushenko

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Nikita is in a great shape he is going for an incredibly difficult lay out as well.

Ive always wanted to see more lyrical program from Nikita but this is just very empty, most if it felt like a jumping drill with barely any transitions simply skating from one jump to another it barely felt like a program.

I like how Team Mishin used this soundtrack for Gleb. He had the slow music for the most difficult jumps for him. Then the fast music for the remaining jumps which suited his presentation well even without a lot of transitions. Than again the slow music for the StSq and ChSq. And the story in the program was very clear.

Misha is such a beautiful skater always a pleasure to watch

I really liked Glebs program as well, it worked very well for him.

I've yet to catch up on SP, now I'm interested to see what Kolya comes up with.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

4F &4lz!!! Finally!!
Please let this finally be Kolyas season

 

[LadyB]

Davai, Vadim!!! Good luckthis season!

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Vadim is keeping his last season program, im not mad at that. I really liked this free!

 

[AlexBreeze]

When and why Ave Maria became so popular in the Russian FS.

 

[LadyB]

The only one who's Ave Maria I can accept - it was beautiful last season!

 

[Mariiiiskate]

That 3A-eu-3F was just beautiful

was that a 4lz he fell on, I couldn't count the rotation in time I cant remember which one of the Voronov brothers attempted a 4lz last season.
The falls kinda threw him off but this program was beautiful last season and im sure as the season goes on it will go back to that level again.
