2025 Russian Junior Test Skates

[flanker]

Lenkov has nice program but he keeps himself back with jumps so far.

Woke up just in time... set up my computer last minute first time watching from the new office. No Bazyluk is tragic to the morale was looking forward to her most naturally and Prineva my favourite as well... At least we get Streltsova though and the others should be good anyways.

We still have the Taylor Swift DJ for the 3rd season?? Well some things just dont change.

Girls warm-up has started. But why Petrova isn't there?

It's probably the cheapest thing on the market available

Sofia Dzepka starts.

Delicate, balletic, fragile, very nice

I love romantic’s program for Dzepka. It suits her so well, she is charming and poetic

 

[Mathematician]

Just amazing and check out that last spin! I liked the knee slide and her lunges. Great extension and body control she is so smooth. I feel that she gives me a mix of Sadkova/Valieva both emotionally and physically.

I think she should shorten the portion where she stands still.

Incredible stuff to start us off. You would not this this was test skates

 

[Mathematician]

Some great spins today so far. I think stopping on the ice rarely works especially when she was just building so much momentum and they stopped it. It usually only works on music cuts like Muravieva's SP last season they did it well and it was very quick.

Sarnovskaya was solid despite messed combo, although compared to Dzepka it's really a kid vs. a woman in this direct comparison.

Flanker's skater is up now

 

[Skating91]

Good performance it's hard to follow Dzepka though.

Liza Andreeva: Perfect combo and generally very good technically (great spins too), although in components Dzepka would have won.

 

[Mathematician]

Nice this is the music I think Agaeva used at the end of her funky program last season which I mentioned I wish she just used for the entire program. I dont like this version as much though. Andreeva looks incredibly confident in her tech. Nice Bauer. We are getting great spins again with her these juniors are going to have spins like nobody but Kamila she almost hit a full needle position. Cant wait to see Streltsova's spins too I know she is great with them.

I’m glad I can finally watch sarnovskaya skating. She seemed nervous but i find her already poetic for her young age.

Not a fan of Liza’s music but maybe I’ll get used to it

Good performance it's hard to follow Dzepka though.

Without Prineva and Bazyluk Dzepka is definitely the peak today. Maybe Streltsova will show something prodigious who knows. Her programs before didn't allow much of an artistic exhibition. Maybe this season she will go next level.

Sarnovskaya reminds me of the top of a music box. Lovely little skater, sort of a Isabeau type skater.
