Returned just to see Akhanteva/Kolesov finally executing both jumps clean in the SP.

Another pair im kinda nervous for. During 19-20 season they had such great international junior season 1 gold and 1 silver medal at jgp, bronze at JGPF and silver at Junior worlds. This season was their last junior eligible year and they didn't do too well in their 1st assignment finishing 4th and didn't get a second one im worried about their transition from junior to senior next season. I like Akhanteva/Kolesov so im hoping it will go well.

Another new dress for Anastasia

People were probably complaining about the "flag colours", but I liked it.

 

[flanker]

That was very good from Solovieva/Ivanov

 

[Mariiiiskate]

that was great from Daniil and Alina!
I really liked Alina when she was a novice single skater, I hope she can have a great career in pairs!

 

[flanker]

Ok, now I will rewatch the pairs.

Ahead of A/N! Wow, I didn't expect that.

 

[Jontor]

Great summary, thank you!
Only one thing is even worse for these girls I think: It is 9 Russian GP seniors and 4 JGPF qualifiers, so it only 5 places left (and 4 if Zinina advance too)

No, Zhilina is too young to go to senior nats. But it's likely she might WD, and then Zinina will make it 5 spots left.

Thank you, I did not consider the age requirements

Junior Pairs has started!

And there was a bizzare camera effect just then...

Also Maria wearing one of Pogo's old dresses?

Love the costumes and programme for Masha and Sanya Both pairs events are at a really bad time for me, so won't chat much, but be shouting for my usual lovelies, of which there are loads at this CoR.
At the same time there is the Kolpino regional Championship with Mama Klimova's kids in action. Just in case someone wants to keep an eye or watch the replay:

So much to watch! I'm actually watching the Rhythmic Gymnastics World Championships right now! It's on in Japan so a much better time zone for me.

Why I always manage to watch only the last pair

Polina on the ice.

 

[flanker]

Finally! Finally a (nearly) clean program from Polina/Aleksei.

 

[flanker]

Now Ksenia/Valeriy, davai!

 

[coldblueeyes]

Polina and Alexei have some good pair elements, but I just get the feeling that they never really fit that well together.

 

[flanker]

Not an exceptional skate, but it seems they are finally able to skate without a disaster.

 

[coldblueeyes]

Pity about the mistakes for A/N, but they project a lot during the program, I like that.

 

[flanker]

Pair elements world class as is usual with skaters from the Perm school, but Iulia seems to have problems with jumps currently. I hope they can fix it before their GP next week.
