2023-24 Russian Local Events – Discussion

[LadyB]

I just really liked both since juniors, and I always thought Popov had lower center of mass unlike most Russian skaters who are longer in the leg and willowy.

Seriously, don't bother. It's just my bird brain. They come on the ice and at first sight, I don't know who is who - but I will. I've managed the other three, so there's hope.
Congrats to the medalists!

I keep my fingers crossed that Artur has a smashing next season.

Same! I actually saw him live in ScCan once, which makes him one of very few Russian men I managed to catch, so I root for him 2x harder!

Nice, still enough for silver for Danielian. Hopefully I can get to the start now and find Voronov and Lukin. 25 of April day is in the music rights jail.

Thank you so much!

Dmitriev, you've got a new fan!

He's Dimitriev. One extra "i" in the last name.
An ancient form of the name Dmitri, Old Slavonic - Dimitriy.

Very happy for Arseniy, I've been following this guy for a long time. Glad for the positive changes. I can't say anything concrete yet, but I'm waiting for good news about Arseniy to be published.

Strakhova Memorial

The younger novices start the show with really lovely music pieces.

 

[LadyB]

Go, Vadim!!!! All in black suits him well.

 

[LadyB]

Looking forward to next season with this Godfather number.

 

[LadyB]

Dobromir defo rocked the Amadeus! Superb!

 

[lariko]

Looking forward to next season with this Godfather number.

It's an amazing program. I adore it and how he skates it

 

[LadyB]

I know what Vadim is doing this summer - practising his jumps. Onwards and upwards, lad!

The rest of the FS looked powerful for next season.

 

[LadyB]

Wow, this was ace from wee Elisey Ermakov!!! One to watch in future...

 

[LadyB]

I'm glad I watched the intermediate novices - good to know for whom to keep an eye out in future

Congrats to the medalists. Ermakov was brill, Shpilkov was unlucky but you can see the potential.

 

[LadyB]

Don't worry, Dobromir. You'll master that 4Lz next season - from start to finish and it'll be beautiful

How long in advance should someone buy tickets if they want front row seats? Like before there are no spots left? I am strongly debating going.

Wait why only 5 stages??? Disaster.

 

[Mathematician]

Per the Fed: For seniors in Kazan there is no ice dance, and Moscow there is no pairs.

So only one Moscow event and no pairs there? This must be fixed. I am baffled.
