2025-26 Russian Nationals Pairs Short Program

[AlexBreeze]

According to the OP, yes.

I orignally thought it was traditional music, along the lines of what Ay Yola does.

I don't know the story, but I'm guessing that the costumes relate to it.

I really enjoyed it.

Valeria Khodykina & Daniil Butenko (MOS) go into the lead.

By the way, Valeria is Denis Khodykin's cousin. I think you don't know about that.

Moskaleva/Rodzyanov literally have one of the best throws in the business - Insane height (like Akopova/Rakhmanin) and great flow. Shame about the fall on the 3S, but still a good skate.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Nationals nerves are the worst.

That's not just nerves. Moskaleva has very problematic 3S technique. I've seen her in training. She rarely lands it.

Moskaleva/Rodzyanov also had a fall unfortunately.

 

[Jeanie19]

M/R. Nice outfits and I really like this program. Shame about the fall but still a good skate.

 

[Artemisa]

I didn't see any relation betewen the music and the program .. but beside that

the only thing i have to say about this costume is: everything. everywhere all at once

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Rinky still up to his tricks with Anna Moskaleva & Artem Rodzyanov (SPB).

Between falling, and being out of sync.

It's not fair picking on the youngest combined partnership of this group like that!

They go into 2nd position.

At the same time she a 3Lo that is somewhat fine. But I think they never attempted it in the SP?

Shegai fully rotated 3T—it's a Christmas miracle!

I didn't. But I must confess that when I saw the entry list, I did wonder if they were related.

(There was somebody else I was wondering about, but I can't remember now who it was... or even if it was here or Japan!)

Thank you for the information!

I rewatched it several times.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Yay, 3T So proud of Maiia. The throw was a little off today instead, but still, progress. <3

Nice skate by Maiia/Andrei, pity about one mistake with throw jump but nothing serious.

Rumor has it that in Hollywood actors have been nominated for both an oscar and a raspberry for the same performance.

And Maja/Andrey try to hypnotize the judges with the music. I don't think it will work.

I have a soft spot for her.

I rewatched it several times.

I actually did re-watch it a few times hahaha

 

[Jeanie19]

Maiia/Andrei. Nice matching outfits. Good program and skate.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

What strange costumes for Maiia Shegai & Andrei Shaderkov (PRM). The light blue is a nice colour, but it doesn't go with the rest of their costumes.

Oh no. Maiia looked like she was about to cry when they finished.

And she doesn't look any happier while waiting for their results.

They go into 2nd position.
