Well, Lubov has to work on her 3 jumps much more. Just stay after official practise and work! It spoiled program unfortunately plus she made a mistake on sbs spin. Shame but not unexpected.

 

[Medusa]

They put Lubov on a diet over the summer, but it didn't do her solo jumps any good. On the contrary, they look even worse than last year.

And that program is ugly.

Not liking the costumes especialy Z/Z and I/M. I hope I/M have done enough for a medal here.

I/M's costumes are horrendous, and the music is completely wrong for them. Who's responsible for this? They have so much talent and their programs, music and styling are doing them no favors.

I/M are coached by Natalia Pavlova. i believe it is she who picks the music, wait till the Gala, they may skate to 'we are the champions', that is a compulsory Exhibition dance for her pairs.

I/M have the coolest lifts and I think that this program suits them. Maisuradze's costume is really scary though!

Too bad about her jumps.

Fab young team with a bad program... there will be a vicious fight for that russian 3rd spot. They need a better program (my humble opinion...)

 

[gold12345]

I/M are in desperate need of a new costume designer. Both the SP and LP outfits were tragic!

Lots of mistakes today and she even kind of died on the sbs spin. But they have very interesting lifts.

 

[Charlotte Elizabeth]

And that program is ugly.

Oh my..ugly is a strong word!

What a tirribal fall from V/M on a throw! He just made it so careless but harsh! She is such a wonderful skater. I don't understand now he is so uncareful with his talanted wife!

 

[L'amour]

That score is behind Bazarova/ Larionov's score of 156, soB/L are early favorites for third russian spot based on this result and cup of russia results.

As long as they stay away from K/N's designer...

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

V/M really bore me.

 

[L'amour]

As long as they stay away from K/N's designer... it can get a lot worse...

so true!

 

[demarinis5]

I like this couple V/M. Beautiful lifts and good interpretation. No jerky movements on the ice and their costumes are easy on the eyes, much better than their Sp costumes. lol.

 

[mycelticblessing]

V/M's throw jumps are so huge they're scary!
