Two mostly black costumes a la Plushenko. Mishin's idea no doubt.

There is nothing to object to with the new FS costume. In some ways it is better than the old one.
But I would rather not have two black costumes, one of which is kind of see-through (also a la Plushenko) at the side.
Did Sasha change costume designer, I wonder.

The test skate is over. At least it gave us something to talk about.
Next stop: Lombardia Trophy in a few days time.

Provisional Schedule: 14 Sep 7.30pm, Mens SP
16 Sep 11.30am, Mens FS
16 Sep 7.30pm, Prize Ceremony
I'm not too concerned about the current state of his jumps. It's still only September. Which is why I didn't bother commenting on how he jumped at the test skates. But I am curious to see how his programs will be received by the judges PCS wise. So I think that's the most important thing to take note of at Lombardia Trophy. He needs a PCS evaluation of his programs from an international ISU judging panel outside of his own circle. People who are personally acquainted with a skater would tend to sugar coat things a bit more.

Finally had the time to watch his FS video. Both quads in the SP and FS were not cleanly landed (turnout) but the one in the FS was within the 90 degree margin (he landed it on his toe pick though), the quad in the SP was a bit UR. The 4T looks a bit better than last season, no butterflies/pops. Other than the second jump in the combo, I don't remember any other butterflies in his programs either. So the form is okay for this point in the season. I hope they add a second 4T to his FS before his second GP assignment.
They made choreographic changes to his FS, I suppose that was what Benoit was doing in Courchevel.
The sleeves on his new FS costume are well tailored and not bulky like last season's (which is why I suspected a designer change), so the elegance of his arm movements can be seen more clearly now.

FS partial warmup clip. As you can see, Sasha loses speed as he enters the quad. In contrast, Lazukin picks up speed as he enters his jump. This is one reason why Sasha has problems with his 4T.
Gotta fix that entry. How to do that? I don't know. But there has to be a way.

I'm pretty sure he just needs a bit more speed in entering the jump. Not only 4T but 3A too. Of course I'm not saying his 3A is bad but with a little more speed and relaxation in the takeoff he would be able to land it without loosing any speed. In 4T I think he jumps a bit to a "wrong" direction. Instead of trying to jump up he should maybe jump more forward. That would, again, help the landing and the possible combination coming after.
Another recording of his programs at Sochi:

Note the following changes in the schedule:

16 Sept 11.30am Mens FS
Live stream link is in my quoted post above.
4T (turnout and UR or downgrade)-2T (rippon), 3A (nice), 3Lz (nice)
Probably lost levels on his spins.
68.79 (33.74+35.05)
Online reaction (and perhaps onsite reaction too) to his music was not good at all (understatement). But since Mishin doesn't care of presentation it seems, I doubt they will be changing his music.
Generally I thought Sasha did alright despite the poor score. I was not expecting them to fix the problems with his 4T and spin levels overnight. Of course the spin level issues seem to plague almost everyone in the whole school so.

Because of Mishin.Have you seen Sasha's program info on the men's SP thread?
"SP Sabre Dance; choreo by Misha Ge
FS Caruso" (song by Lucio Dalla?); choreo by Adam Solya"
I so wish this was true! Why isn't it true?!
:sad4:
Oh well. At least he looked very handsome, especially so since he wasn't in yellow. I guess we should count ourselves lucky he didn't skate that SP in yellow, with the "screaming girls" in the background of the track and the "Tutti Frutti" cut at the end...
You're not the only one who has posted that in this thread.
I roughly know why he hasn't changed coaches. But it's not worth getting into since the reasons are more than one.
I think what Sasha should have done when he missed the landing on the 4T, was to move the second jump to the 3Lz. If he could execute 3Lz-3T, he would get a few more points. The 2T (they might have even considered it a SEQ instead of a combo because he took two turns after the quad) hurt his TES quite a bit. I know the original plan was to execute a quad combo, but one must have a plan B if the first jump fails.
