2015 Russian Nationals Short Dance

[Ravyn Rant]

Vika and Nikita seemed a little bit tentative, and a bit flail-y. She looks stunning today, though. I thought I saw the slight stumble Anna mentioned, too.

Sinitsina/Katsalopov: 60.79. TES was 27 something, while PES was around 32. Not a great tech score...

60.79 for Sinitsina/Katsalapov

Doesn`t seem like Zueva`s PR worked.

 

[Snow63]

Their TES doesn't look good

Sinitsina/Katsalapov- 60.79

Their TES doesn't look good

The fact that they can`t even get 29 for TES at Nationals is very telling. I guess, they just need more time to get it together.

Unless all couples are called harshly s/k arent going to medal. But they have to rebuild their id program so being honest may be what's at work here.

 

[LisaM]

Oh boy. Sorry for being terribly impartial but I can't help but enjoy the drama.

I am not familiar with this team on the ice but girlfriend needs to polish her skates....

KANIVETS/CHIZHOV

Suddenly a team from Ekaterinburg, native town of Alla Shekhovtseva, Yulia Lipnistkaya and Maxim Kovtun. They used to have a quite strong dance school there in Soviet time, but it did not survive Perestroika Kind of ok, not horrible, but bland and shaky.

Okay, now let the real competition begin. Just send me a PM after Ruslena skate. This drama is too much for me.

Seeing their score, I think their boots are the last of their worries!

Those twizzles....yikes

 

[Ravyn Rant]

Kanivets and Chizhov had a rough time of it. Her outfit was interesting - black dress with side cut-outs and red rose appliques on the skirt and neck.

Kanivets/Chizhov 29.95 (14.64 TES + 16.31 PCS) and into 2nd

Holy crap.

SOSNITSKAYA/GOLOVESHNIKOV

For a team which toured minor B events this autumn, finishing in the middle of the pack only, they are suprisingly good. Not a national team-level material, but they move well across the ice and can express their music at least in places. They train with Kustarova/Alexeeva.

Oh my god

 

[Ravyn Rant]

I thought the twizzles in opposite directions that Sosnitskaya and Goloveshnikov did were interesting. Cool look.
