2025 Russian Junior Test Skates

[AlexBreeze]

They said something about technical timeout to prepare the ice. Is there something else happening then?

Senior couples are training there but not for the broadcast unfortunately.

Ice dancers will have their test skates on Aug. 27-28.

Even with the mistakes, Polina and Igor blew me away. The speed, the power, the interesting lifts and spins. They are just plain exciting to watch. Again and Again. lol. (I recorded today)

 

[lariko]

There were some really interesting spins in pairs and I am looking forward to seeing some of these programs in a polished state. Also, wow, Domozhirova grew a lot over the summer

Looks like the upcoming season is going to be fun.

Can't wait to see which programs Gorshenina/Makarov would present. Also, low-key root for Slutskaya/Goncharov!

 

[flanker]

RD will take place tomorrow 15:00 Moscow time.

The stream is just starting.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Sh/M continue being one of the brightest teams in juniors.

Kudos for choosing Russian hits for RD. Not many teams risk doing that.

 

[flanker]

Anna Bilibina/Dmitry Kashaev - they were dynamic with latino music.

 

[flanker]

I hope this would be a breakthrough season for Pilipenko/Mikhailov.

Love seeing Kirov kids being invited & continue being creative & improving their tech.

Sex bomb in junior ice dance

 

[flanker]

So this is the end for today...

Sex bomb in junior ice dance

Yeah, but the age of junior ice dance is now such that it shouldn't shock us. Most of the internationals are now 18+

Yes but RusFed hasn't raised the age limits.

This girl was born in 2009.

 

[lariko]

Did Maleina/Samokhin got a wrong memo about the rhythm dance? What on Earth is... this?

 

[lariko]

Yes but RusFed hasn't raised the age limits.

This girl was born in 2009.

Yeah, that's a questionable choice. Just saw the program. Uhm, I hope they will get feedback.

 

[lariko]

Anyway, I think I liked Pestova/Lagutov and Slutskaya/Goncharov the most at this stage. Gorshenina/Makarov's program look kinda rough around the edges or maybe I'm just not into that music choice.
