Gala Competition "Russian Challenge" 2023

[JimR]

No more props where they are lifted please. One slip I couldn't imagine it. Maybe I'm risk averse.

 

[EdgeCall]

....Im so tired of this song

The original is a classic, but why this cover of all?

 

[Amei]

OMG!!!! I I loved them sooooo much! And I first saw them live in this very Megasport Arena in 2016!!!

They've always been 1 of my favorites, their Anna Karenina FD is 1 of my favorite routines

You have to pay?

 

[LadyB]

Their signature lift/spiral, everything is still there! For them alone I would have bought tickets for this!.

 

[alexocfp]

Medvedeva next. Business is about to pick up.

 

[EdgeCall]

You have to pay?

I don't know. The original has been used quite a few times, so it can't be that expensive.

Zhenya!

 

[Mariiiiskate]

oh for the love of god....

 

[LadyB]

Zhenya!!!!!!!
The one and only! She's the true Olympic Champ for me. She was in a class of her own!

 

[lariko]

Same idea as Valieva FS, I guess?

 

[alexocfp]

Wow. Wasn’t expecting that start.

 

[Cherub721]

Why are Med and Kolyada in the second half when T/M were in the first?

 

[lariko]

Oh, god, no. Not some hack singing life.

 

[alexocfp]

Medvedeva: form is temporary, class is permanent.

 

[EdgeCall]

Live singer or playback, the idea is quite nice. But does the sting of not winning the OGM still sit so deep?

 

[alexocfp]

That was as poignant as can be. Well done!!

 

[Jeanie19]

Evgenia. Beautiful program and a beautiful dress.

Russians can skate, but sing? Nope.

 

[LadyB]

My Zhenya!!!! Nobody will ever come close to that special something
