2025-26 Russian Nationals Pairs Short Program

Strong confident performance

Today I'm a fan. Kudos to Osokina for a clean landing on the throw given she was tilted in the air. I was certain she'd fall and I'd be crying malade for sure. But not today.

the whole program looked malade. they were tantative and slower than usual, cleanish run though

Well done Osokina/Gritsaenko, redeption for so far not very good season.

I mean wasn't Samodelkina granted citizenship based on a grandmother or something? I'd be surprised if Shegai doesn't have one ancestor within 2 generations who was born there.

I think it was her mum, not her grandmother. And even if Maiia were able to get citizenship, if she has recent-ish ties to Kazakhstan, Andrei probably would struggle like the male partner of their Ice Dance team

The program doestn't really work for me but good skate.

Looks like Artem cannot listen to that song any more as well.

It is apparently Osokina's birthday.

i hope she doesn't get herself one more filler. habby birthday anyway

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Clean, but a bit tentative. The FS has been the bigger issue, so this is only half the job done well - Keep this energy going, you two.

It is apparently Osokina's birthday.

Not falling on you a$$ is always a good birthday present.

 

[Pairluv]

Come on Yulia. Don't break my heart.

It is apparently Osokina's birthday.

Ah, a day before mine - I hope I get a similar present tomorrow then

Oooh. It's not Lara Fabian. And that has made all the difference. I actually like this male version, which is by George Perris.

I really enjoyed that from Elizaveta Osokina & Artem Gritsaenko (PRM).

And that colour of dress goes really well with Liza's foxy hair.

They go into the lead.

Oops, what was that?

 

[freedomlover]

unfortunate fall, I really liked this skate.

 

[elektra blue]

Come on Yulia. Don't break my heart.

the free is the problem, the short is usually strong

 

[Pairluv]

Those spins! Stupid little mistake but they were fierce today.

 

[flanker]

Pity, stumble in the steps by Artyom, without that it would have been completely superb program. Even so still very good.

 

[Mathematician]

Ah, a day before mine - I hope I get a similar present tomorrow then

Muravieva will gift you a clean skate

 

[EdgeCall]

What a pity. This was actually a great performance, a bit tense. too, but determined.

It it were not for the stumble ...

And i like the dresses. Interesting shading.
