Deleted Nebelhorn Trophy. He will not skate there.

Skater01, looks like you might be able to see him skate in person again this year.

Yay! Even though that is if he actually ends up going to Finlandia AND I'm able to go, but fingers crossed...
 
He's off to Sochi. Test skate is on the 9th and 10th but they are arriving 2-3 days before hand to have their programs checked out. The usual thing. The other skaters on the appearance list have flown off to Sochi today as well.

At least we'll soon finally know about his programs! Can't wait - I'm half anticipation, half apprehension...
 
I'm in the process of creating a video from an instagram stream. SP is, as suspected, the one he skated at the final Tartu camp.
If we go by what he skated at Tartu, that means the FS will be the same as last year's. We'll get confirmation on that tomorrow.
 
It's some 60s medley remixed versions or whatever. Some Elvis songs and Little Richard as well. I counted 4 different cuts?
OMG. I can't believe I'm saying this but give me back Sabre Dance!

Thank God Sasha is still Junior World eligible.

His layout:
4T (turnout), 3A, 3Lz-3T(doubled the toe)
 
Whose idea was this??? So we're going to have a retro (remixed) SP and a retro FS (assuming he's keeping last year's). This is music from Mishin's youth, not stuff an 18 year old should be skating to. Geez. And then the multiple cuts???

Okay, here you go. Extremely LQ version. Make do with this until someone uploads a fancam. I was going to crop the video some more but it's taking too much time.

?????!!!!?????

It's... it's... horrible.

I've a very high tolerance level for medleys, but that mix was just disjointed and made no sense - especially so many music cuts in an SP?!? Also, never mind just the retro - that "cool" remix of Tutti-Frutti certainly didn't help matters either.

Oh.. my... word!

All right, I surrender! Give me back Sabre Dance, Mishin - give it back! I should never have complained about it. Mea culpa. Mea maxima culpa!
 
Choreo has little relevance to the music. Costume altho nice has no relevance to the music. And the music... I can't believe Rus Fed are giving this the go ahead.
 
Jarring techno remix of unrelated retro songs. ie. Horror.
There is no ISU judge who will like this. Goodbye PCS.

I paid barely any attention to the choreo at all, to be honest - I doubt many people will. Nothing is allowed to build, nothing stays long enough to create any kind of momentum. The music cuts - or choices of music, I don't know - almost make any choreo irrelevant. If the Rus fed doesn't nix this, I can only hope that when his PCS tanks, they nix this program and go back to Sabre Dance or something. Or anything else, pretty much. Bring back Conquistador - anything!
