2021-22 Russian Nationals: Pairs' SP

[anonymoose_au]

Matching ties! My day has been made.

(I'm actually serious )

Different strokes for different folks. I loved it—it screamed “we will not go away quietly, so there!”

This I want to see. Is there a screenshot or link?

I love Ted, but imagining him trying to pronounce the names of Egyptian skaters made the right side of my body break out in hives.

All will be cured by the stunning "Be Italian" program, I'm certain.

"It's just a little crush. Not like our thing. Every time we touch."

Loved that song back in the day.

Don't love this remix of it.

Nice start!

 

[anonymoose_au]

The was great!

Awesome start to the competition!

Haha Ted says the same

 

[elektra blue]

the costumes have nothing to do with the program but they were good

 

[kmw227]

I normally don't like unconventional death spiral positions but Ekaterina made that one look really good!

I've noticed that her free leg tends to get stuck on her throw landings, almost like she doesn't unwrap it fast enough. I wonder if that has to do with how she was taught or not.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

The second half of that did not match the first (Vocalise into dubstep middle-eastern music?) also major Liza vibes

 

[Kathy1]

That music got my juices flowing! Russian Nationals never disappoints, even teams I've never heard of.

 

[Tyranid]

This music choice brings me back to the 14/15 season and the Radionova/Tuktamysheva duel.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Was it just me, or did anybody else think that the music was going to switch to the "Ghostbusters" theme tune at one point?

This is annoying me. Somebody else skated to this music a few years ago, and I can't remember who. And I know it is somebody that I should remember doing it.

I think I've got it! It was my Queen! Wasn't it?

Davai Ilya and Katia!
By far my favourite Junior pair this season, and they weren't even at JGP.

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

I think I've got it! It was my Queen! Wasn't it?

Yes. Liza

 

[anonymoose_au]

Ekaterina has obviously studied at the Javi Fernandez School of Don't Touch the Ice!

G/M of the matching ties!

 

[elektra blue]

they didn't have enough fabric to make also the other half of Ekaterina's dress

 

[EdgeCall]

Nice knee save.
