2025 Russian Junior Test Skates

[katymay]

Dzepka attempted 4T but popped. Now fall.

I still enjoy her skating skills....and her facial expression as she skates. She inhabits the music and I love that.

Good skate by Lyashenko but I did not get the program

 

[Mathematician]

I dont know the music gets a little abrasive for me towards the end

Not sure about this program, but I like the step sequence, it's cute.

I can say that Lipnitskaya obviously works well with Lyashenko technically.

ChSq? I think all of them today have been good. It feels weird to watch FS without StSq, TBH! The programs feel a little empty and less structured without one.

Dina 3A+2T and another 3A.

I meant Anna Lyashenko's Step Sequence. She skated a Senior layout, like yesterday.

 

[flanker]

That was very good. Actually something I would expect from Dzepka today.

Oh, and I see Dina is doing the same now with an early StSq. I realize that Dina going 3/3 on her axel means she is straight up a podium contender for seniors out of nowhere, lol.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Dina's dress creates a lot of visual movement, I like it. The 3A seems to be very consistent now for her, and the other jumps went much better today as well.

 

[Mathematician]

Dina clearly has her music taste figured out over these last 2 seasons... Her axel entry is hard though, she lets down her hands for a whileee and doesnt do much for that entire first part of the program. I think her PCS should not be comparable to the top seniors. But the raw BV might put her on podium anyways if other girls aren't careful. Crazy.

 

[Mathematician]

Oh yea, 5 seconds in and this is definitely a Danny G production.

Vika 4S+2T, 3A, 4S fall, 3Lo, 4T+2A+2A, 3Lz+3T, 3Lz.

And Floyd (although original would be better). I like this program.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Vika - Technically superb, and I'll certainly enjoy the music selection, but there's still room (quite a bit of it, to be honest) for artistic development.

(I also can't help but want this music selection to be used for a pairs or Dance team. I can think of a few with the right intensity to pull this off.)

Lidia doing Queen meddle

3A and 4S. Not perfect but they are there.

 

[flanker]

Well done Lidia

That is an absolutely killer program and easily has the potential to be my favourite ever up-beat dancey program, a genre I usually do not care for at all! The choreo here is awesome! Like, really good! Pleskacheva easily the star of these test skates to me. She could win the gold for artistry in juniors this year.
