2026-27 Russian Pairs Figure Skating

[AlexBreeze]

There is any limited of participations in CS?

No more than 3 entries for event from the same country. Each skater/team can take part in no more than 3 events.

I think .. russia can send who ever they want in pairs.. the top 3 will belong to them .... yes probably they want to see if B/K can skate clean with M/G .. who the juries likes more .. and if the third pair can handle an international competition ...
It's like a 3A but in pairs .

I am very much against counting medals before they stand on the podium. Russia can't send 3 entries to the worlds this year, only one, and they have to win either silver or gold to max out spots for next year. While top Russian senior pair are strong, they make mistakes, just like everyone else.

I've been to School Moskvina public training a few days ago

Mishina & Galliamov skated revamped version of Ode to Joy SP. Probably they brought this program back.

They also skated a part of Love's Dream FS for exhibition purposes.

Their shape was just superb. Probably even too good for early August.

Alisa Blinnikova & Aleksei Karpov

Moskvina said that the Velikovs entrusted her school with training Alisa & Aleksei.

Can't say much about the program but their elements are fantastic. Big and smooth. Also, great SS.

Anna Karpuk & Ilya Mironov debut

They looked... like a new team as they are. SBS 3F is promising. Ilya made a mistake in the actual skate but it was fine during the warm-up. The rest was fine but lacks quality so far.

Thank you for sharing!

Sofia Diana Cousins & Aleksandr Bregrei


New SP to Succession OST.

They skated in the group with juniors, not seniors. Though Moskvina hinted they might compete in seniors. Their solo jump was a solid 3F.

The twist and lift looked problematic which is a bit concerning.

The program is fine and definitely suits them. Though I'd like to see more progression.

Other junior teams:

Albina Kamaldinova & Stepan Marishin

Something very unusual for FS. Looking forward to seeing it in costumes, etc.

Daria Tretiakova & Aleksandr Samorukov

Last leason's SP. Love it. Unfortunately she has a lot of problems with jumping.

Anastasia Ivankevich & Georgy Pavlovskiy

Sweet folk program. But unpolished so far. They had problems with finishing at both runthrough and the actual exhibition.

To be honest .. I think M/G deserve new programs ... and doing something different
