Gala Competition "Russian Challenge" 2023

Anna so pretty ive missed her

I guess this is another movie I dont know?

Yes, 17 Moments of Spring. Colonel Isaev embedded in Nazi high command is allowed a glimpse of his wife (portrayed by Scherbakova) in deep secrecy, in public, so he can only pine from afar.

To have good scores you shall not use (many) preps, but have a big name.

Anna. Still, STILL finding a way to get to the top of the scoreboard.

 

[LadyB]

Wow, my beautiful girl has become a proper young woman!

Oh God, Yags!

 

[lariko]

Well, let’s see if Yagudin can skate better than trash current skaters…

 

[JimR]

That was great from Shcherbakova but won't quite beat Sonya. But she still has the charisma.

Edit. The judges saw differently lol

 

[Amei]

Brilliant. What an artist she has become.

Interesting that Anna even had video effects. It's really everything-goes.

There was a piano hauled out on the ice earlier, video effects are pretty tame at this point

 

[EdgeCall]

Is Yagudin really stealing the show from the younger ones here?!

 

[LadyB]

Extra points for Yags on his 43rd birthday and with TAT behind the boards... Congrats.

Unless that name is Aliev. I am not bitter, lol. Okay, a little bitter.

Props are pretty regular in ex programs, but VFX I have not seen so often.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Lmoa Yagudin well he had me almost screaming once the music started but thankfully it ended up being a really fun program

 

[icewhite]

Oh Alexei, what happened to you, you were such a beautiful man... Great performance, though.

 

[Amei]

The man has always been a performer

 

[lariko]

So, in Yagudin vs Plushenko, I am Team Plushenko. Again.

 

[Amei]

Extra points for Yags on his 43rd birthday and with TAT behind the boards... Congrats.

 

[Cherub721]

Bravo!!!! It has to be first. Emotion, comedy. This is the master of all times. No props just skating and dancing.

 

[alexocfp]

The sport of figure skating is the real winner tonight.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

I do wonder how this will be scored more comedic skates have not been appreciated by the judges but this is Yagudin we are talking about.

 

[JimR]

Great job Yagudin I don't know how to judge this at this point
