2025 Russian Senior Test Skates

[lariko]

Let's see Carmen from Muravieva.

 

[Mathematician]

When your skater is on, it gets serious. Have to lock in.

What exactly is Dasha wearing? Help.

Noticed that too...

I hope it will fit the program, but it was, well, unexpected.

Has this music been used a lot? Yes, though, the music cut is definitely unique. I like the program for Mura, especially the step sequence. Shame about the missed combo, I wouldn't be surprised if they are working on her +Toe technique, but she overall looks strong and most of all happy

 

[Jelle307]

Did I miss the combo?!

 

[flanker]

So what do you think about the first post-Plushy program of Mura?

 

[lariko]

Drama delivered but not the combo. I think Muravieva and Frolova is what Petersburg's women scene needs.

 

[Mathematician]

The only skater who can make Carmen good.

Mura is very unique, she has some moments that only she can pull off, and are extremely effective, yet unfortunately inconsistent.

I love how she can just totally ragdoll herself into choreo elements, lol. Its very cathartic.

So what do you think about the first post-Plushy program of Mura?

A work in progress but very(!) expressive. I like it.

 

[Mathematician]

Did I miss the combo?!

She double-footed the lutz landing and dropped the toe.

 

[flanker]

Did I miss the combo?!

She unfortunately landed 3Lz badly, so no combo.

 

[lariko]

Interesting interpretation of the theme as well.

 

[Jelle307]

Ok, so no combo. But overall great Performance. Lots of drama. I Hope test skates isn‘t the last time we see her smile

 

[Mathematician]

So far the prediction is correct. The season is on Mura and Frolova's backs. Now lets see if someone else manages to shock me. Its a strong group.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Fashion side note - I like Mura's dress fine, but I'd like it a lot more if the illusion mesh actually matched her skin tone.

I expect more of nondescript programs, but i am happy to be surprised

 

[Mathematician]

I suppose Akateva's power was always in her exceedingly flawless technique, rather than performance. Without a perfect athletic form she loses a lot of effectivity.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

I'm happy whenever we get to see Kat, but I think this program needs a little more drama than Kat usually gives. She looks good, though.

 

[flanker]

Sonik. Great delivery, but it is notable she was nervous and relaxed only after the finish. She will still be catching confidence during the season I'm afraid.

 

[lariko]

Didn't do her any favors to skate right after Muravieva
