2024 Russian Junior Test Skates

[Green Carrots]

Why is she wearing nearly the same identical outfit as that other young lady?

As far as I understand, Lyuba didn't have her own costume and borrowed it from Lidia (they are from different coaching teams)

 

[AlexBreeze]

Identical dress to Pliskacheva ; maybe she's also coached by Panova ?

She's from AoP.

Probably something happened to her costume.

Skaters from different schools sometimes share their costumes in such situations. I remember Andrei Kutovoi skating in Vladislav Dikidzhi's costumes.

They probably just did it for the day for some reason. Costumes weren't ready and maybe this girl grew out of her last season's uniform.

By the way this is Pleskacheva's outfit from last season so likely not a final choice for anybody.

Not long ago they used to wear their black workout uniforms for test skates.

I think Petrosian is the only threat out of those skaters (unfortunately I think it will take time for Akatieva to reclaim previous form), but of course Zhilina is a possible threat if she can regain old form (I'm not sure about this either). Petrosian might have grown and the jumps became harder. It's going to be a very close season.

You might be right from a TECH perspective about Sinitsyna. I wasn't really considering from a competitive perspective for some reason but a personal one.

Muravieva with a 3A would have Dvoeglazova's number unless she gets trash programs as well.

Petrosian isnt losing her 4T. Thats impossible. She actually became more stable after she got bigger last season. She was struggling with sickness until the end and still dropped like 250 without a 3A. She is genius tier so Dvoeglazova would have to be Kamila talent to challenge her this early in her career.

Akateva we cant make any assumptions. Many skaters have missed seasons. Its the same story as Petrosian with her if she even just gets back a 4T.

Dvoeglazova can push top 3 if Muravieva flops but I find it unlikely. Calling her favourite for the season is just delusional lets be honest she has not shown us what Petrosian has, not even close. Especially with that FS. It would be an insult to the sport if she beat Petrosian with that FS.

Now the Fed asks to have at least some costume because of the broadcast.

Fedotov who's able to look stunning even without a costume:

For juniors yes. Thats what I was expecting, like last year.

 

[Arwen17]

What is this music? Its very pretty. It sounds like the language is Russian maybe?

Silly. Last season was fine just wearing training clothes.

Oh nice

 

[Mathematician]

Well to be honest Dvoeglazova and Pleskacheva were the only ones who really made me feel anything today

Its the musical choices. They're all lackluster.
Except the last girl who skated. I like her music.

I think the two girls I mentioned had nice music. But in general I agree. The music was not really giving today. Hopefully we get something more sophisticated tomorrow.

I thought they were all wonderful. Margo-such wonderful easy jumps, but of all the girls, her program doesn't make me feel anything, but she is only 12. She doesn't have an innate musicality yet, but I'm sure she will in time. Kosteleva is just special and a level above for me, especially with performance quality.

 

[Green Carrots]

I love this Major Grom OST soo much, it was a nice ending for today from Anna! I'm waiting for a beautiful costume for this program.

Muraviova I hope she does well but struggled to beat a disillusioned and demotivated Valieva at the end of last season.

Petrosian isnt losing her 4T. Thats impossible. She actually became more stable after she got bigger last season. She was struggling with sickness until the end and still dropped like 250 without a 3A. She is genius tier so Dvoeglazova would have to be Kamila talent to challenge her this early in her career.

3A is a weakness. Last season it didn't matter it was a depleted field Muraviova with no quads and a demotivated Valieva pushing through horrific psychological trauma no adult could withstand.

Akateva we cant make any assumptions. Many skaters have missed seasons. Its the same story as Petrosian with her if she even just gets back a 4T.

Dvoeglazova can push top 3 if Muravieva flops but I find it unlikely. Calling her favourite for the season is just delusional lets be honest she has not shown us what Petrosian has, not even close. Especially with that FS. It would be an insult to the sport if she beat Petrosian with that FS.

I think top 3 is an almost certainty for her.

In general, AoP programs seemed more original, bright and fresh to me, although i prefer TeamTut's aesthetics. From Team Tut I liked Arseniy and Margo. Alysa has too boring program, no bright accents at all. From AoP I liked all girls, except Lena. Voila is quite strange for her. Too matured maybe, and I didn't like the choreo

 

[Remilia]

hmm, voila is okay, but I definitely prefer her previous short. I'm not sure why they ditched her Alyona short, but I wish they had at least tried it out for test skates and then changed it if there was negative feedback

Exactly. It didnt matter. It was mickey mouse season. Petrosian had no reason to try. She had a free win. On top of that she got sick twice and lost her 3A, but landed it anyways and dropped 250. They gave her the lamest SP ever but her FS alone nuked my entire world. Its only making her look better.

Listen, the issue for Dvoeglazova is a lack of 3A and no quads allowed in SP. Muravieva would starch her in the short and if she lands just one 3A in the FS then Dvoeglazova would need a Trusova level quad masterclass in the FS to match. She only jumped 2 3As last season and went stumbling tumbling in the SP and STILL dropped 240. Do you forget? Frankly in any case I think you aren't crazy to think Dvoeglazova would beat Muravieva, its a pretty reasonable opinion, but I just disagree. The odds are totally stacked in Muravieva's favour by default and they gave Dvoeglazova a bad program.

Its fine if you think shes a favourite for top 3, I dont have much interest in arguing that further. But really you need to put some respect on Petrosian's name, son. This is different level. Its libel what you're typing. Your words are criminal offence.
