Hmmm, even without Misha Men's category look more interesting than Women category.. to me.. which is quite unusual..

Samarin on board. He skated quite consistently at the test skates, so it will be interesting to see how he will do now.

RusFed obviously waited with the publication of the entries list until @flanker got back.

Of course they did. I am a VIP , Gorshkov and Kogan consult everything with me prior to make any public statement or publishing any document

Molchanova, Onishchenko, Sviridenko and of course The Empress and...gulp...Cruella de Vil

So keep your dogs on a leash for this one

@Allikat Not sure if you got the info you requested, but here's my input. If ever you want to watch FS that is Geoblocked, got to 1TV.ru and use the VPN "Hola" on Chrome. Google Chrome translates the page and Hola has Russia. I used this for 4 years free with no problem, but now Hola says I have to pay. However, I found a workaround. Hola on Chrome is the best free VPN for Russia viewing.

Thank you, CherylDee. I have used the Hola VPN before, both on Chrome and I think Firefox...had the same thing happen with me, though, in that it worked for awhile, then Hola wanted me to get the pay version. That is the reason I checked some sources and bought Nord VPN awhile back. It works great! No links to Russia, but in the past I found other countries I could use instead to view Russian YouTube sites that were geoblocked.

I didn't know Google Chrome (I don't even have that browser at present) could translate the 1TV site. Will have to look into that, I think. Because, if I could figure out how to use it, I believe I could view videos there that are geoblocked in my country. At least, I can view geoblocked Russian Channel One YouTube videos using my Nord VPN in 'correct' countries, so if it works on Russian YouTube, why not on their 1TV? I do tend to view skating livestreams using my Firefox browser, as it uses the least amount of bandwidth.

LOL on me--I've tried to learn enough Cyrillic to 'get along' but it's not working too well--think I'm just too OLD to catch on. About all I can do is, recognize familiar skaters' names in Cyrillic--that is hardly 'learning the language' but is probably about as far as I'll get with it.

I'll be routing for Kolomenskaya/Frolov in the Junior Dances, but I think I'll watch the Men in Piter.

Esp. Matvei doesn't look like that little boy he was. Pity their score wasn't higher at JGP.

Yeah, but their free is completely adorable, as usual!

Omg, the entries! The entries! Some favorite faces for sure! Really looking forward to it!

Awww look at these cuties!

I love BB!Ice Dancers.

Did they bring their own applause?

 

[anonymoose_au]

Although this music choice is awful. What the Heck is it?!

Nearly whole RD music choice this season is awful. ISU wants to be "modern" probably, but I was hoping the compulsory dances will be chosen with some dignity for the olympic season. Or I'm just an ageing grump.
