2026 Russian Junior Test Skates | Aug 03-20

[flanker]

Arseniy 4S, 4Lo, 4T step-out, 3A, 4S with euler combo. Program boring.

 

[flanker]

Lev 4F, 4Lz, 4S (I suppose, only upper part of his body was seen), 4Lz with euler combo. 4T in combo. Program nonexistent.

 

[flanker]

Ice dance, Daria Drozhzhina/Ivan Telnov - too few was shown and in fragments, so I can't comment.

 

[flanker]

Maria Fefelova/Artem Valov, more or less the same as with previous ones.

 

[flanker]

Zoya Pestova/Sergei Lagutov, little more shown, rock version of Firebird.

 

[flanker]

Pairs:
Polina Shesheleva/Egor Karnaukhov - look very well in form. Twist "only" triple, 3F+Eu+3S, 3LzTh, 3Lo, not much can be said about program, but very dynamic skating.

 

[flanker]

Polina Sazhina/Alexey Belkin. Matrix (again...). Not much was shown, some negligible problems with landings but seemed fine.

 

[flanker]

Taisiya Guseva/Daniil Ovchinnikov. Most was shown from their program and they gave interview to Anna. Looked perfect.

The Russian Figure Skating Federation will not change the skaters registered for the Junior Grand Prix stage in Xi'an

ФФККР не будет менять фигуристов, заявленных на этап Гран-при среди юниоров в Сиане

Кто выступит на юниорском Гран-при в Китае 20-22 августа? Узнайте состав сборной России и подробности решения федерации.

Which means Lev, Kosty, Fefelova/Valov and Shesheleva/Karnaukhov will be sent to JGP China.

Sounds good. With so few days to go till the event and nothing obviously amiss, predictability is great.

 

[Mathematician]

Thanks flanker for the data. I might watch the Anna videos later.

Have they really not posted a schedule yet? It's supposed to start in like 2 days... need to know how to set up my schedule for this.

Going to try keeping up with the junior men this season, after the senior men rewarded me enormously in the last.

This site seems to suggest that the test skates start on the 5th rather than the 3rd?

The 3rd is an arrival day.

From the snippets I saw in Tsherbakova video, I am really looking forward to the opening act with the ice dance. I think Pestova/Lagutov were my fav from the short clips Anna showed. Also, Dzepka is a dream, and Kostyleva has the vibe modern judges are going for, like Hendrickx meets Liu, so if she skates well, she is right on trend. Lazarev/coaching team are really risking it all, doesn't they? Pairs look stronger than ever, but, again, from tiny snippets.

I don't see the Hendrickx-Liu comparison with Kostyleva at all

why is there a whole week between ice dance and everything else

Isn't junior test skates always broken up like this

 

[Mathematician]

15:00 Moscow is 08:00 EST btw

It usually was scheduled this way during recent years.

 

[Remilia]

It usually was scheduled this way during recent years.

somehow never realized this. probably bc I only pay attention to the girls

Really looking forward to tomorrow. I am working, so hopefully they will archive everything as usual so I can enjoy the waltzes in the evening.
