[elektra blue]

I'd have Varya and Timur above.

so did the judges and i'm not complaining

He gave quite an interesting interview, where he frankly talked about his current problems and plans, in particular, that he has a hard time with the lack of international starts, but mostly all the problems are in his head. I'll post the translation in the fan-topic later.

Just post the Russian link, heh.

Aren't Tyutyunina/Grachev competing too early? They will likely make it to Nats, but....

Kaganovskaia/Nekrasov and Pasechnik/Cirisano aren't rushing it, for example.

they want to make up for the time they wasted in the splits i guess

They even lost the FD to Ermakova/Krylov.

Must be very disappointing for Tyutyunina. She isn't used to such scores.

Does anyone of you have access to that Russian database of "special music for next season's figure skating" that people seem to pick from? So you can tell me what next season's hits will be?

Honestly, I was just super-excited to see that Siberian indigenous fusion among all those samey stuff in junior ID. Kudos to the team that picked it. Felt honestly fresh. Sorry, I will shut up about it, but damn, that was great!

Not sure if I saw it. Apart from the senior men I have only watched sporadically.

 

[elektra blue]

sadly i have to go. cheer for Mironova/Ustenko. see you later in Warsaw

 

[icewhite]

This was very tasteful, yet a bit boring.

That was Junior ID. I highly recommend just for the choice of music and costuming. It immideatly stands out. The guys have growing to do, obviously. But Sharafutdinova/Mursalimov are the names if you want to deep dive, lol

I was surprised at first by the audience's reaction to Liza and Egor.

But I remembered that Egor is the home skater. He still represents Samara region.

There were a lot of unusual FDs in Junior seniors in general.

 

[niks]

Who's Roman's coach? I keep thinking of him as an off-brand Mishin (sorry sir!)

Hahaha put like that, it doesn't sound very flattering But he does give off a lot of Mishin's vibes, that's true, hat included

I checked out his name: Alexei Chetverukhin

 

[AlexBreeze]

Clean Katya and Zhenya please. This FD is too good.

 

[AlexBreeze]

The twizzles are done!

 

[AlexBreeze]

It wasn't as good as in Krasnoyarsk. But I'm glad they are doing their FD much cleaner than last season.

 

[AlexBreeze]

M/U will be higher in the FD. But looks like not overall. Pity about the RD mistake.

Edit: Oh they are still leading!

 

[icewhite]

that's a program I like

 

[thatdarncat]

Very good from Sophia and Daniel, very seamless, not my sort of music but they skated well

 

[AlexBreeze]

I don't know how many people would agree with me. But Irina looks much more harmonious with Devid.
