2022-23 Russian Local Events – Discussion

[Mariiiiskate]

Melnikov looks like he is floating when he jumps, his jumps look so big, airy and effortless
His move from Buyanova to Vika has worked out perfectly for him. His programs fit him perfectly as well, I cant wait to see more of him next season

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Davai Kolya!

 

[LadyB]

Another clean skate from Karina! Well done, what a great competition this has been for her! A real breakthrough

@LadyB Your girl did so well, you should be proud!

Fantastic! Elena Alexandrovna should also be very proud!
Can‘t watch any pairs.
Big shout out to Merenkova/Galimov and Geynish/Chigirev … and of course to Fedya

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Kolya landed 4F
Sadly he did struggle a lot after the 4F he popped the 4Lz and had few step outs and bad landings

 

[Mariiiiskate]

A great skate from Vlada and Victor

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Davai Masha and Martin!

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Sadly Masha struggled hard with landing things today

 

[Mariiiiskate]

oh god that fall from the lift looked very painful, hopefully Evelina is ok

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Honestly, Vika should try out with Denis Khodykin, because this is clearly not working. With each competition, they are making more and more mistakes, and their scores are getting lower and lower. Their first competitions this season didn't look that bad, even though there were some issues then already, but this is like a completely different pair - And not in a good way.

She has the jumps, and Roman just doesn't, he is having trouble with lifting and throwing her (despite her not being big whatsoever) and she just looks so over it whenever he makes a mistake.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Rough skates for all three of the teams so far, sheesh, seems like nobody wants to make a push for the podium

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Merenkova/Galimov have another year in juniors, but they too won't be senior-eligible the season after that.

They've improved a lot since their Russian Cup stages, even if there were a few small issues here and there. Bravo

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Not Moskaleva/Lozhkin's best skate, but with a 7-point lead after the SP, they'll still go into first and get at least a silver medal.

I think their choreographer did a wonderful job with their programs this season, just unfortunate they won't be eligible for juniors or seniors next season.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

This dress is so pretty, and their twist and throws are just huge Also, is Katya a redhead now, or is it just the lighting here?

 

[Mariott]

ooh Dima was going for a 4T but sadly popped it, its nice to see him trying new jumps tho.
Not Dimas cleanest skate, sadly He is struggling little with those landings
On the other hand his non jumping elements were great and other than the 2 pops there were no major mistakes.

Holy cow, just now I found out that Dima was on 4T, I have no words What he can't do for selfies with Mozalev! If he tries in the off-season, the big boys will let him play with them and perform a parallel quad in threes (or maybe even foursomes, if Ivan stabilizes his 4T, which he says he gets every now and then, unlike 4S and 4Lz, which are stable in training).
I'll post Ivan's interview in the Davydenko Band theme. Vanya is charming.

I came across Serebrovski Memorial stream by chance.

There're some senior ice dance couples like Zhdanova/Babaev-Smirnov and Matveishina/Subbotin. They already skated their RDs and unfortunately the stream is not archived. They are skating their FDs today

There'se also some senior women like Ekaterina Anisimova, Veronika Peterimova and Maria Rebrova. Their SP is today

Nice skates from Varya/Timur and Yana/Timofei. There were some flaws, but nothing more than that. Can't wait to see their dances next season.

Sad for Katya and Miron. It looks like they just can't recover.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Cute pink Bolero is in the lead! Except for the easier combo (3T+3T), one of the best Katya's skates ever.

That’s great news. Hopefully the gala competition stays as well.

Bring on 2024!
