2024-25 Russian Nationals Rhythm Dance

7th team totally awesome

The weakest teams have already performed by the way.

It seems to me the judges are more strict than at some GP stages.

Probably.

But at the same time M/U got their PCS best score.

What a strange seletion of music from Sofia Tyutyunina / Matvei Grachev (MOS).

I always love programmes to "Misirlou". And when it started, I thought "This is a going to be great!!!"

But, then it changed to "Fever" by Elvis Presley. And I thought "No, those two songs don't go together". And then it changed to "You Never Can Tell" by Chuck Berry. And, although I like teh song, it didn't go well with the others.

The mis-match in the music really spoiled the whole programme for me.

And that is before we even get to the mistakes.

They go into 6th and last position.

And it is followed by another strange music combination involving "Fever".

This time, Vasilisa Kaganovskaia / Maksim Nekrasov (MOS / MOB) paired it up with Little Richard's "Tutti Frutti" (Accrding to the OP, it is a cover by Les Greene. Never heard tell of him myself, but he did cover it).

But, when it comes to the skating, this one went much better. They go into the lead.

8th team is very sexy

I really like Shevchenko/Ezhlov

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Why so much Elvis?! Is he very popular in Russia or something?!

I know I'm biased because I am not a big fan of Elvis, but this is getting ridiculous.

I haven't been watching the Russian domestic events this season (there were too many other things going on), so I wanted to ask - are the Russian Fed using the same theme of "Social Dancing" as the ISU, or are they doing their own thing?

Because I'm starting to wonder if we have an actual Elvis theme...!

Why so much Elvis?!

Everyone wonders.

There will be one more in the next group.

M/U got 79

This is more like it. Anna Kolomenskaia / Artem Frolov (MOB) are skating to the Mamas And The Papas.

And after "California Dreaming", we had some disco music in the form of "Twenty Five Miles" by Edwin Starr.

What an enjoyable programme to take us into the resurfacing.

Mind you, was Artem tring to disguise a fall as doing the worm?

Not sure it was wise for Anna to wear leggings that you can see-through. Well, not when she was wearing such skimpy knickers underneath.

They go into 8th position.

Somebody tell Trankov that the way he is slouching on that sofa makes it look like he has a tiny head on a massive body.

Sit up straight! And face the camera!

Good morning/day/evening everyone.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Good morning/day/evening everyone.

Random fact: There's a phrase in Russian that means something like "Good time of the day" that is used if you are not sure where the person you are talking is. Or when they read the message.

Sasha and Vanya...

 

[AlexBreeze]

I like that the stages had 4 teams per warm-up. 5 teams seem too much and too dangerous.
