2015-16 Russian Test skates

Too bad Radio is being put out so slowly. Apparently she brought down the house. eat that haters.
 
This season, both of Bobrova's dresses are beautiful :cheer2: I really appreciate Zhulin for that. About the twizzles, I think they just haven't gone full force yet, early days still, we shall see more, and if the twizzles still doesn't fit, they can change it later
 
So as far as I can tell all the dances are posted but poor M/K have no sound. We're still waiting on Pogorilaya, Leonova, and Radionova from the ladies and for Tarasova/Mozorov, Bazarova/Deputat, and Astakhova/Rognov from pairs. Are we still waiting for any men or are they all posted now too?

All men are posted. Wait maybe not. Voronov, Moris, Pitkeev, and Menshov were posted. Feels like I'm missing someone.

I found Liza's program most exciting and brought her performance to another new level. Adelina is playing on the extra dance training she got from the dance competition, sort of typical Adeline style. Julia got better jumps, but the first half she dissociated her skating from the music, and got better in the second half. Evgenia's music choice is a potential problem: it is very sentimental and beautiful but the music is very slow throughout. It needs some fast-paced section in between. It made her skating look very slow, while she can skate fast on ice for sure.
 

I see Menshov kept his SP from last year. Not surprisingly it has a more finished feel than the many of the other programs because it's an existing program. I thought he did a pretty nice job with it and, in fact, I think he sold it better than last year.

Kvitelashvili...oh dear, it's like the Voronov music mix from last year! Note I still love Voronov though...
 
Tuktamysheva bringing the drama; even when she wasn't skating at her best, it was clear that she/Mishin etc have a stylistic vision, and the short program takes that to the hilt. The costume is spectacular everything just looks on another level from last season.

Simply put, I'm looking forward to seeing that in another 12+ competitions :popcorn:
