Russian Junior Test Skates 2023

If I were her coach, I'd ask her what music does she listen to at home, music that inspires her. Music that brings a true smile to her face. I know nothing about her life outside of the rink, and would like to think this girl can occasionally have fun and crack a smile or laugh every now and then. What I find frustrating with Veronika is that she is a talent of a generation and it kills me that she's being packaged in this way. It made me think Kwan vs Bobek. Kwan was a more internalised skater, Bobek had show business written all over her. Maybe try to package Veronika more like Kwan? Kwan would never skate to Michael Jackson because it doesn't suit her. (if she actually did, please don't remind me because my brain rejected it from my memory which is a good thing) Heck Nika should do something like Samson and Delilah, which she has done in the past. Someone said her body is athletic perfection for amasing technical skating. And I agree, and as a former gymnast I agree she would have been a gymnastics star. So give her strong music with a theme. Heck give her Salome and put so much hair and makeup on her you wouldn't even know it's her. She just needs the right music. Let her just tell her story on the ice, in her own way. A long program to MJ is totally not the right way. She doesn't do light and fluffy or peppy. So give her angry, strong woman programs. Just a suggestion.

Cirque Soleil would suit her. And it finally hit me who she reminds me of-Dominique Dawes. She is sort of the Dominque Dawes of figure skating, with amazing power and flexibility. She is capable of being the next Olympic Gold Medalist, the best in Russia, but not with a program she is ill suited to skate.

You guys really didnt like it? I thought it had potential. I agree she seemed not so expressive especially at the start, but the latter half seemed like it had something to me. I thought this could actually fit her style. Just a test skate.

Yeah I liked it, the second half like you say. I thought I saw something from her I hadn't seen before she looked rhythmic. It's something to build on for the season and continue to develop. Under new rules she only needs to peak at 17 onwards, and she looks like she has the raw athletic talent to have stable ultra-si into adulthood.

For whatever reason she's not very expressive with her face even in photos. It's understandable not many of us are born actors. Figure skating is a unique set of skills. Unlike other sports. I think she would benefit greatly from skating under Eteri.

No. I also didn't see her being in Novogorsk at all (unlike, for example, Kolesnikov, who WD due to injury). It's kinda weird that both Tataurov's students weren't there.

I checked Nadya's fan group, they say that everything is fine, she just couldn't take part.

There was no info about her either. Just that her program are choreographed by Artem Fedorchenko. And then she disappeared from the list.

Seems like slightly more junior ice dance teams stayed together this year compared to pairs 😅

I'm especially looking forward to Kolomenskaya/Frolov, Rumak/Goncharov, Scherbakova/Goncharov :cheer:

Ponteleenko has no medical permission to perform. According to her, she isn't injured.
 
Hope she is recovering from whatever the medical issue is. She is one of the most memorable ✨️ in the mix. It is also heartening to hear that they watch out for the athletes.
