2015-16 Russian Test skates

That also means Elena is not completely satisfied with any one of the four, hence need for trying out. She must be joking right? How many competitions does she have in the season, and she wants to try all of the four SPs?
 
I think Julia might actually join my favorite Russian ladies list, as she's stopped boring me and has better jumps... Lena and Zhenia look nice as well.
 
Sotnikova said she has a back problem, which is why she missed out the more challenging spin positions & why the jumps aren't her best, but she wanted to still skate & show something.

I'm a little concerned that she was off for a full year not doing hard training and before the season even starts she's having a back problem. Back problems tend to be lingering issues and she can not afford to give up points by not doing as challenging spins as her Russian competitors (and obviously falls are problematic).


Overall I liked the program but the end when the music got faster, she seemed to get slower.
 
I say, this is just as exciting as watching a regular tournament...

Agreed!! They should stream it for a small fee. I'd pay like $10 to watch online...maybe more but let's keep that on the hush hush ;)
 
I am so impressed with Julia, Liza and Adelina. 3 completely different programs and I love all of them.

It won't be easy at all for Mao this season.
 
Radio such an amazing talent, but that program doesn't serve her well. She can more than that.

And also it could be to her detriment to be switching programs around, often times (look at a lot of our comments about what we are seeing today) the first time a skater skates a program its not the best they skate it, it's usually after the second or third competition that the skater looks really comfortable in the program and the program looks polished.
