2015-16 Russian Test skates

Ruslan really improved a lot. I like his musicality and i almost looked at him more than at Elena.
 
They aren't any faster or lighter than I/Z. People must have been swayed by the costumes. This is still preseason guys. They need another month for it all to gel. I/Z impresses me even more, given they had less time to prepare. Now we need to see B/S.

I thought S/B were slow as sin. She has a nice costume though.
 
They are indeed. We must be watching two different things.

They drift sometimes farther apart at the end of the march, but they will fix that. But good first outing, IMHO. Really cool dance. This will rock even better as the season progresses.:cheer2:

It's September and a month from the GP. Otherwise we should be counting out B&S given the terrible skate they showed in Moscow. I'm not expecting skaters to be sharp and fast as in competition. Besides, speed is not a problem for I&Z. They will be ready when it counts. I was anxious to see the program, the choreo, because I had doubts about the choice. I'm happy they proved me wrong, once again.

Yeah, these two can dance. I'm looking forward to how they polish it. At the olympic season test skates or some competition very soon after test skates, I/K/s SD which I loved, looked nothing as polished as how it did when they hit the GP. Today I/Z had some rough spots, but they looked promising. The dance just needs more time to develop but good job.:cheer2:

SB are too slow....don't know what their whole thing looks like, but I doubt I will love it. I do like her outfit.

IZ are good of course. They dance well. Same lift this year but much improved. Not loving the program though especially the second part.
 
I want Voronov and Yulia now. Why there is no video of Voronov? :scratch:
 
Russian Fed should broadcast test skates on Youtube... :bang:

One operator, camera with internet access - how much would it take? 100$/day? :shrug:
Instead you got top athletes in the world showcasing their skills for two exciting days in front of 200 people... :scowl:

Interesting to see V/T try something new, though to me it is almost campy at times, continuing to blaze the tentative campy trail begun with Jesus Christ Superstar... but this is no real drawback to me, I have a weakness for camp.

I did really enjoy the lift a lot.
