Well, the absence of Gorshenina/Makarov was really evident in dance. The scoring for Tikhonova/Lysov was ridiculous, since neither can't glide or have any discernible SS. Vorob'eva/Tsymbal actually can, and had two excellent programs despite the SP being to that terrible music. Their free was amazing and almost on international level. Slutskaya/Goncharov had great short, but their free bored me, but those guys have skating skills. Fefeleva/Valov were solid as well, though not very exciting. But yeah, one nepobaby is different from the next one. As Davis nepo push rocks internationals, Russians can't live without their new homegrown one.
