2025 Russian Senior Test Skates

[EdgeCall]

Concerned face from Frolova, too?

Gushchina's attitude in the rink reminds me of Trusova.

Gushchina seems a lot more vulnerable to me. Like a glass cannon. Trusova seemed more truly iron-made.

What in the hell is this cover? :/ Ksenia looks really strong, but whoever made her music cuts this season is on my no-no list. The second half is much better.

 

[Skating91]

Look who showed up.

I was thinking, if skating91 doesn't show up for ladies' test skates, this sport is officially dead.

I'm trying to get VLC to stream properly. Wasting so much time on it. Keeps buffering every 30 seconds.

 

[Mathematician]

Wow so smiley today Gushchina. I have never seen her so extraverted. I hope she shows this more. It works great for her.

 

[Skating91]

Really bad cover version, but Gushchina was great.

My thoughts too. The starting part was definitely over the top. But Gushchina kills it! I didn't expect her to do the Beatles so well.

I still think its better than her SP.

Still worried face

beautifully skated

Very nice from Anna, so elegant. The tape on her skates though was distracting me, why do skaters do this, they never used.

 

[katymay]

Oh Anna...Such a beautiful program.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Anna looks gorgeous, costuming on point. The program is good, though it could build up to a climax some more. Strong skate overall.

 

[Lunalovesskating]

Lovley program. Hate boots and the tape

 

[Mathematician]

Good. It would be even more impactful with a different dress. Something with a deeper, rich colour.

I notice this season a lot of skaters changed their pendants also, random observation.

For support. Can't be helped.

 

[Lunalovesskating]

What did she say?

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Very nice from Anna, so elegant. The tape on her skates though was distracting me, why do skaters do this, they never used.

I'm fairly certain her boots are broken down and she either can't get new boots right now (problems in production, etc.) or she didn't want to break in new skates so shortly before Test Skates, so this is how she made them last just a little bit longer.

 

[Lunalovesskating]

Ouch

The most beautiful costume for Alisa. Quad attempts are so risky and courageous at test skates. She is so a contender for gold at rusnats
