2025 Russian Senior Test Skates

[AlexBreeze]

Overslept and missed the memorial, darn it. Tuned in for Samsanov? I think? If he has grown a foot? Huge jumps but fell on every one? Great program though.

Yes, his best SP program definitely.

Change of coaches, it needs to settle.

Oh gosh, Daniil definitely not his day . Hope he didn't hurt himself because all the falls looked quite hard.

Gleb was ok.

The event feels very rushed actually. We are already half around the men barely ten minutes in. Guess no commentary means no replays either, so everything moves way too quickly.

Interviews right after the skate really need to go away. Though apparently Gleb managed to crack some jokes as people in the stands laughed along

 

[Mathematician]

The combo is huge.

 

[flanker]

Vlad great jumps too.

 

[Mathematician]

That was awesome. Vlad's best work.

 

[niks]

Vlad had some very cool moves in there. The program is still in early stages and needs quite some work, but has potential.

 

[Mathematician]

This could've been really fun for Olympics. It is really too bad we will not see him there.

 

[AlexBreeze]

The best men's SP of the season easily.

 

[EdgeCall]

Mark is still the best entertainer in the rink! But these jumps need more work.

 

[Mathematician]

Well well well.

 

[flanker]

I am curious if Petr will go full hard or spare himself.

Edit:

B was right. well done.

 

[Mathematician]

It was a nice 3A

 

[EdgeCall]

Seriously impressive.

 

[katymay]

Vlad great jumps too.

After the lutz combo I was thinking maybe they made a mistake selecting Petr, but then the flip.....lol. Oh. That is why Petr.

 

[niks]

Mark!!! Oh my, I'm not even sure what that was What was the music exactly?

The jumps were not there (guess Svetlana already knew this because she looked very worried before the start of the skate) but the program is quite something. Exactly what it is still needs to be clarified during the season but one thing is for sure, it's not boring nor a dead-horse beating copycat. So thumps to him or standing out and giving himself in his skate!

As was said in another message, he is indeed the best entertainer and performer out there (best emotional performer for me in a very small precious group together with the likes of Kevin Aymoz and Dima). And in fact, he is quite a good actor actually: in the very beginning when he pretends he slips on the ice, it was really way too believable

 

[AlexBreeze]

What was the music exactly?

Hava Nagila

 

[niks]

Petr was ok; they can't do much about the program because it's just empty, but they really need to work on it so Petr does finish on time with the music. He already skated the program 4 times, if I 'm not wrong, and each time he finishes later and later today it was a full transition done without any music ...

And the handkerchief waving needs to be reduced even faster that the rinkside interviews

 

[niks]

And that is it! Men are finished so fast you risked missing it if you blinked
Thanks God for the resurfacing for leaving time to post all the comments, otherwise it just would not be possible, poster's life is not easy
