Btw team split, the latest gossip is Irina Smirnova took her skaters (Popov and co) and left Army of Figure Skaters. They are now associated with Navka's school.

 

[LadyB]

Btw have Roslyakov and Dobroskokov team split in 2 or something ?

Yeah, something like that. I seem to remember that each is doing their own thing now, but I can't recall the details.

Catching a glimpse of Fedya

And now one of my fave SPs this season

 

[LadyB]

Molodtsy! These two must be knackered by now. It feels like they've been at every possible event this season.

 

[LadyB]

Davai, Nika i Danya!!!!!

 

[LadyB]

Nice One!

 

[LadyB]

Ooooh, special treat in form of Litvintsev!!!

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Litvintsev seems to be in good form

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Is Ansimov injured or something? With almost all of Butsaevas boys either competing here or at RCF/junior nats, he is one of the few of Vikas boys that has not been competing anywhere in 2023? I miss him.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

shame about the 4T but Maxim has been slowly improving this season, he still needs to work on getting those spin levels tho

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Is Ansimov injured or something?

I hope not, he is posting insta trixels at least.
Litvintsev must be preparing for worlds, it seems to be rather difficult for him to get to international events at the moment, so skating out of competition in Russia is a good compromise. It would be so awesome to see Vika with Litvintsev in the K&C at worlds, I hope she can go with him.

Aww, they are all sitting there behind the boards watching and clapping for their team mates.

Aww, they are all sitting there behind the boards watching and clapping for their team mates.

That's one of the greatest things about their team spirit - which is always beautiful to watch.

Davai, Nikita!!!

Avtushenko really could use some work in the skating skills department. He is so slow that it distracts from the program.

 

[LadyB]

I'm so up for pairs again!!!

 

[LadyB]

Privyet, Fedya!

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Poor Maria and Martin things just weren't working for them here but they are new and young and going for a very ambitious lay out. They are so promising I cant wait to see how they will do by next season.

 

[LadyB]

Davai Masha i Ilya!!!

 

[LadyB]

Shame about the fall. They're lovely and only skating together for five minutes. They were both still single skaters last November
