Nice! Hope that Commonwealth Cup works out, because it would be fantastic to see all the skaters who transfered if they don't get enough international exposure. I wasn't following club competitions last season, but I would love to see the final. Plus Jumping Tournament is here to stay, and I am super-happy! My new favorite.

Last season there were best skaters from Belarus + tier 2 Russian skaters. At the competion in Belarus there were also children from Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan IIRC.

Here's the Federation's response on that:
Sikharulidze: We are constantly talking about holding international club tournaments here. Moreover, we organise them, invite our friends, colleagues from friendly countries, first of all. But, unfortunately, we do not see an active position yet. But we will continue to do it persistently, we will not stop.

Kogan: We can't do it as a Federation, it should be done by clubs. You understand, these are international interclub competitions. Unfortunately, we as a national Federation are forbidden to do that by the ISU rules for now.

I am just waiting for Russian Senior test skate 14/15 september. I saw recently Alexandra Trousva did 4luz+3T, hope to see her do it again in the test skate.

It's unlikely something is on YouTube this season. The question is what happens to VK stream. I'll try to contact them. Other local federations don't hide their broadcasts.

thats really disappointing I was waiting for this hopefully it will be just this competition and they wont stop streaming on YouTube completely.

Lovely run for Klimentiy. His persistence and improvement over the years pays off.

Masquerade Waltz always does it for me. I'm sure Mark Lukin will manage to turn this into a thing of beauty.

 

[LadyB]

I'm nervous for Vadim. Davai!!

 

[LadyB]

Molodets, right little Godfather. Well done.

3A and eveything - he's got his jumps back.

Mark Sokolov's had a haircut

 

[LadyB]

Ilya Malyshev is still 'bad' ... which I love - and he's still so wee

 

[LadyB]

Davai, Dobromir! Rock the Amadeus!

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Ah shame about the 3A considering Dobromir and Artem are too young for exemptions anyway results here are not that important.

I like his costume a lot.

 

[LadyB]

He's capable of more and I know that this programme, once it has grown on him, will be absolutely thrilling!
Yes, the costume is ace

I’m so exited to watch Kolya skate again !

 

[Mariiiiskate]

I was going to say I really enjoy his music for the short this season and then the dubstep started

Kolya does look to be in good shape tho and that’s all that matters really

 

[Mariiiiskate]

I’m surprised Lev is here but I guess little practice prior to the RJGP starting is good.

Go Lev!

 

[LadyB]

Leeeeeeev!!!!!!!!!!

I can't handle the Nutcracker anymore - but I love the programme.

 

[LadyB]

Me too. But yeah, one more run under comp conditions might be good.
