2024 Russian Junior Test Skates

[LadyB]

Molodtsy!!!

They are good with jumps and throws are working for them now even if he cant throw her far nor high but everything else needs loads of work.
Andrey just isnt strong enough I was terrified watching that 1st lift he didnt look stable at all.

The twist is the most alarming tho, triple twist will be a tough ask. Was there really no more suitable partners for Varya out there?

It's kinda upset for me.

I think Cheremnykh and Kadyrova are very skilled partners but their partnerships just don't work.

Though I will wait until JNats (jumps must be enough to make it there). Ushakova said that Ch/R wanted to perform despite not being very ready. She called the Federation and asked to invite them if someone withdraws. She also admits that the choreo might be too difficult for a new team. Though I appericate she invited Mikhailov and Bukin for them.

Poor Nika landings were not working for her today

 

[LadyB]

Please not another FS that gives them trouble.
Customes and music suits them well. It's early days after all.

On a completely different note: Fedi is still super cute

Nastya has grown even taller but she looks to be adjusting well to the changes. Vladislav is also strong enough where it doesn't seem to matter when it comes to the height and distance of their twist and throws. Their lifts don't look bad at all considering the changes either. They still need some time to reach their best form but I think they will get there after some more adjusting.

I wonder how tall she will end up being as she is very tall already. How old is she again?

She's 15.

In the interview for the Federation, Ushakova didn't mention anything about it. But she said that their prepations for the seasons were problematic because Nastya had pneumonia. After the junior final she ended up in hospital in Sirius.

They did very well! Im so happy Zoya's transition to pairs has gone rather smoothly, I just want to see this little girl smile just once please

 

[katymay]

Well that was nice! Pulled out most everything.

 

[katymay]

Just catching up-the tiny girl with the apron is a spectacular pair partner. Not sure her current partner is the right fit, but if she stays uninjured she will be at the top of the heap in a few years.

 

[LadyB]

Interesting costumes

 

[Pairluv]

Sofia looks like her mother. Nice posture in her lift positions, but the jumps and twist are a work in progress.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Choreographers found out that Apashe is not only Lacrimosa and Lord & Master. Good choice.

 

[LadyB]

Fedi loved it a lot!

 

[katymay]

Wonderful pair. She is so fast across the ice, so strong.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Im glad they kept this program, it looks far better now that Polina and Egor has skated together and in pairs more than a half a year.

3F-3T-2A and 3lz sbs will be a huge weapon for them. Well done.

 

[LadyB]

Great starting pose

 

[Mariiiiskate]

They look much better than yesterday

I love the starting pose a lot.

 

[LadyB]

Udachi, Julia i Ilya!

 

[Pairluv]

Moskaleva/Rodzyanov have a really nice mature quality about them. Not perfect, but they look really good together. I hope their height difference stays the same because I'd really like to seem them improve.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

there is a very clear increase in 3lo, 3F and 3lz jumps this year, its really nice to see even if everyone is not nailing those jump landings yet .
