2025-26 Russian Nationals Exhibition Gala

[EdgeCall]

Expressive. Looks like Anna enjoyed that.

 

[Jontor]

I miss Russia in Eurovision...

 

[Mathematician]

He's as tall a pair skater.

Is he that much taller than Bukin? Nekrasov is even taller than that. There are a lot of tall dancers. Ustenko doesn't look out of place to me.

Anna Frolova

Wearing a red dress, and skating to a song that I am actually familiar with! (I'm pretty sure it was a Eurovision song, but don't have the time now to check who or when).

She had a fall early on, but was otherwise very good.

I miss Russia in Eurovision...

I stopped watching Eurovision three years ago. I don't miss it.

Anna seems to fall more often in exhibitions than competitions. I remember her falling at the Russian callout last year as well. Can't remember the last time she actually fell in a competition, though she can make mistakes.

I think last three seasons she fell once. At a St Petersburg Championships when she was very ill.

He's taller than Bukin, yes.

The next generation is not this tall as Nekrasov and Ustenko.

It's a Russian version of Gagarina's Million Voices from 2015.

Yulia Artemieva & Aleksei Bryukhanov

Yulia wearing a blue blouse and red skirt. Aleksei wearing a red shirt that matches her skirt, with yellow braces and black trousers.

Hillbilly music!

Not a theme I would ever have imagined being skated to here. But it was a lot of fun!

Matvei managed to find time to prepare for the gala after men's FS

That's surprising. Our young singles are getting really tall and young guys in general are huge these days. Any idea how tall Artyushenko is?

 

[Fetinia]

He's as tall a pair skater.

And wide built

 

[Mathematician]

Vetlugin is scaring me a little. Is he ok? Oh my—the cards—this is awesome!

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

It's a Russian version of Gagarina's Million Voices from 2015.

I had a feeling it was Polina Gagarina, but didn't want to commit in case I made a fool of myself.

I know this will be controversial, but I still think her version of "Kukushka" is the best. And that the Eurovision song didn't do her voice justice.

Useless piece of information. One year when I was in Cyprus, and I saw a billboard advertising a concert she was doing in the town I was staying in... two days after I was flying home! I was gutted!

Nice friendly help.

Matvei Vetlugin

Wearing all black and a serious amount of white makeup and black eyeliner! Teenage @elektra blue would be proud.

Boys but he has been entertaining today, both now and earlier in the competition!

And wide built

Well, M/U won longest lift contest at Channel One Cup twice for a reason.

 

[Artemisa]

Matvei has decided to win my heart. Great program ... even if I don't know what what a Crow has to do with the music but it works

Elizaveta Pasechnik & Dario Cirisano

Liza is wearing a bluey grey jumpsuit with white belt. Dario is wearing a black T-shirt, white jacket, and red trousers (I tell you, Italians can get away with anything when it comes to fashion!)

Not going to lie, when they came on with a suitcase, I was imagining that they were going to skate to "Come Fly With Me"!

But what they did actually skate to was a lot more entertaining than that would have been!

I really enjoyed that! A lot of fun.

That was a little ... avantgarde from Maria.
