Good luck Nikolai! Go for the Redemption skate!

 

[anonymoose_au]

For a second I thought his music died...

This is quite a choice! Who is this singer I wonder?

The voiceovers are a bit

I enjoyed Nikolai's spins though! Nicely done there.

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Lol, this is a great Moulin Rouge medley! Well done Nikolai, much better than yesterday!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Hey he broke into the hundreds, that's not bad

Here's an Egor

Was wondering the same thing. Spoiled by dorispulaski's brilliantly informative thread starter's I have no instant way to find out. LOL
But I so appreciate all the work CrazyKittenLady does to keep us informed about these Russian test skates and how to watch them.

Davai, St. Petersburg Kolya!
I really like Nikolai's skating. He has beautiful lines, but, unfortunately, also a tendency to splat rather horribly. So I'm always on edge when he skates. This season he has the ultimate Olè program.
Also, coach Artur

I sense an Olé

Mask of Zorro if my Cyllric knowledge hasn't let me down

Sounds like Artur himself

Isn't this surfing music?!

 

[anonymoose_au]

The close up on the costume very impressive!

They look rather disappointed in the KnC though.

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Uh oh, this is taking long

 

[auser]

Lively way to end the program, Nikolai, with California surf guitar music. Saw this music performed live several years ago at Santa Monica, CA pier.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Aww look at this wee lad

 

[auser]

Love this skater's tap dance on ice.

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

That was a lively performance from Alexander! Hands up whose mind went to Morisi Kvitelashvili during the program.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Ooo love Ivan's costume.

More Olé!

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

I like Ivan's sparkly costume. Honestly, you cannot have too many sparkles in figure skating. The costumes always look so much less sparkly in real life than on TV, I was reminded of that two weeks ago at Cup of Austria.

 

[auser]

Aww, wish Ivan looked happier after his skate. I really enjoyed his program and presentation skills. Looking forward to watching his skills grow.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Wow this chap's coach looks totally gangster, check out that coat!

Hey, it's Sasha Samarin's music (I swear he skated to this?)

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Yes boys, keep these Axel sequences coming, they're keeeeping me aliiive
