4lo is working great for Fedya shame the 3A is giving him trouble here.

God what a beautiful skater he is His jumps are stunning when they work

That was brilliant to watch. He's got so much potential!

Another successful 4Lo from Matvey, second half was little messy but over all a decent skate from him

 

[LadyB]

It started off so well, then a few wobbles crept in - but never mind, I could watch Matvey all day long.

oof, rough skate
and however much I love his skating style I still don't like that program

It's not as great a match as the SP is for him.

 

[Mariott]

Well thats new

He has two costumes, they are very similar, but there is a difference. The text is different (Andrei's book has the text in Old Slavonic). And they are called " Book I" and "Book II".

In Andrei's fan-theme I posted a photo, there you can clearly see that they are different costumes, even the words on the bookplates are different. Heh, I didn't think I could use my Russian philology degree to read the inscriptions on skaters' costumes!

So happy for a good skate

I thought they looked different but then I thought it was just my bad memory

Semion continues gaining consistency! The 4Lz is not clean yet, but landed. The pop looks random. The rest is nice.

I don't know which program exactly I want for him, but I guess something that's less dramatic and just... softer? And also something more specific that others don't use? And something more modern as well.
Ooh, I have to look for music for him.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Semion is having a really strong start this season, well done Hope he keeps it up in the cup stages.

Me too! I absolutely love the theme and choreo on both. I assume his earlier injury is still there. I hope he finally starts skating with one quad. Which makes it tough for him to organize the free, since he doesn't jump 3F, but... 2A is always there to plug in gaps.

Andrei talked about it in an interview after the test skates, you probably remembered it.
I shared the photo with a colleague who researches old church books, she was ecstatic. I was able to decipher a few words, "loving", "body of the God", "day", "pain", if there are more resolution photos, maybe I can decipher more.

 

[icewhite]

he really fought for the landings this time
but can they please change the end?

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Gleb jumps are so consistent
His biggest issue is the spins as he cant get all the levels and performance isn't as good as it could be, otherwise to me he would have been definitely the nats gold favorite.

 

[LadyB]

Wow, Gleb! Great stuff!!!

 

[AlexBreeze]

Gleb has the RGP stage next week, but I think he really needed to skate here, after that disaster at test skates. Overall, some aspect became better after last season.

oh, I don't understand Russian at all and I only read the fan fest occasionally, but I remember there was talk... and thanks for all the info

More like his stamina than the spins and step sequences.

Honestly not bad from Dima 2 pops but his 4Ts are looking really good this season
