2024-25 Russian Grand Prix - Stage 2 - Kazan

Even with the mistakes I throughly enjoyed this skate from Kostya

That skater looks a bit like Trusova's husband.

Roman, this isn't pop music!

HEY, THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD FALL INSTEAD!!!

 

[AlexBreeze]

Kostya and other skaters representing Tula have great programs, decent SS and nice presentation. But the only one who managed to be good in tech side too so far is Anisimova.

 

[EdgeCall]

What a wobbly affair. Bold choices for music and dress, but he somehow makes it work. I hope he can improve on tech.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Dima has grown a lot and is clearly struggling with that, I do think that he can bounce back after he is done growing. He also unlikely was ever planning to moving up to seniors already.

This program is so empty like most AOPs mens programs tend to be just skating from one jump to another until the jumps are done. No transitions what so ever. Dimas good qualities are buried in this program.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Anisimova.

By the way, I've just checked her IG and apparently she had a surgery and returned to training like a month ago. Missed the whole off-season.

Pity that they didn't give her a little later stage. I hope she gets another stage where she skates to nationals.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Daniil is such a beautiful skater, this is one of the better frees ive seen from him not clean but other than the 2nd 4T he got everything done. Its such a shame he never moved coaches to try and fix his jumping issues.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Kirill baby please keep it together

 

[elektra blue]

[Mariiiiskate]

I really like this program for Kirill, he isnt ready for seniors and it shows.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

are the cacti cactusing?

very much so.

[AlexBreeze]

are the cacti cactusing?

Young men (or very young men) were trying to land difficulty they never came close to before.

Vlad is only for Vladislav not Vladimir
Vladimir is Vova or Volodya

 

[Pairluv]

If you're going to skate to music from the Blue's Brothers, you've got to personify cool. This boy isn't. Maybe if he had sunglasses.

 

[elektra blue]

the blues in this program is not the music, but the bruises

 

[AlexBreeze]

Vladimir was always a solid skater. Without quads but with solid 3As and charisma. Never made to nationals but was a sub. Not sure what happened here.
