2025-26 Russian Nationals Exhibition Gala

[Mathematician]

Wouldn't have imagined a girl of her age skating to Édith Piaf for her exhibition programme.

But, it worked! Really well! I loved that!

Old competitive program.

Anastasia Mishina & Aleksandr Galliamov

When Sasha came in dresed as a sailor, I so wanted them to be skating to "I joined the navy to see the world, but what did I see? I saw the sea!"

I can tell you something, it took him far too long to see Nastya!

I thought sailors had a reputation of having a girl in every port! And he didn't even notice that he had one on his desk!

I didn't see the costume change and change of music coming! That totally took me by surprise!

A really enjoyable programme. And good use of the props.

Why am I not one bit surprised?

Evgeni Semenenko

He is wearing a torn white coat and red trousers.

The zombie apocalypse clearly arrived at the local hospital while he was in the middle of performing surgery.

I joke, of course.

Or do I?

A fun programme.

I think even from exhibition it's visibly a reformed Semenenko. He's incredible. In my top 3 male skaters right now.

Not bad for the second hyperpowered performance of the day!

And now, the moment I have been waiting for.

she is beautifully dressed

"Everything has its finale.
Today—here—it's my sportive finale: my sportive end.
I want to share it with you together,
and remember this moment."

 

[EdgeCall]

Unforgetable. She made sure of that.

And I'm glad we will continue to see her in the coaching zone.

Liza is wearing a gorgeous white dress. And skating to a beautiful Russian version of "Hallelujah"

Well, she is actually just going around the rink filming the audience on her phone, waving and blowing kisses.

Awww. Big hug with Papa Mishin. She hands the phone to him, and then starts skating properly.

What a beautiful send-off for my favourite skater of the past decade.

And she gets presented with a bunch of flowers by a wee girl. And another by an official.

I was in floods of tears the whole way through that.

Thank you for all the memories, Liza.

Sorry, I was in too big an emotional state to be able to watch Alexandra Stepanova & Ivan Bukin properly.

Sasha was wearing a beautiful white dress, while Vanya was wearing a white top and black trousers.

The music was beautiful. And what I saw of the skating was too.

I think Boikova's dress is beautiful. Truly fashion queen.

I think Boikova's dress is beautiful. Truly fashion queen.

She looks very relaxed and enjoys herself.

Interesting that both Dimitry and Alex looked far more serious than their partners.

Aleksandra Boikova & Dmitrii Kozlovskii

Sasha is wearing a blue dress with purple flowers. Dima is wearing a purple T-shirt, with black short-sleeved blazer and trousers.

Beautiful song. And beautiful skating.

I just realised. We're not getting encores from the winners.

That was actually very well done. His pop-&-lock is impressive. I wouldn't expect it from him.

 

[EdgeCall]

I hope Petr makes it to the Olympic ex. The world must see this.

I think Semenko will be jealous of this costume
