Russian Junior Test Skates 2022

[lariko]

I am finally home, so thanks to Grishin for the intro, and take it away, Fedotov!

 

[lariko]

Omg, Lazarev is skating to Mister X’s aria! Major Urmanov vibes!

 

[lariko]

Zonov had a gorgeous skate hard to watch Avtushenko after.

 

[lariko]

Oi, Beliavskiy started growing, no wonder he moved to Moskvich. Spins look better maybe? Looks uncharacteristically serious

 

[lariko]

Ugozhaev looked the most interesting to me so far and really liked the music.

 

[lariko]

Wow, Anisimov is taller than Ignatov… I guess that’s why Davydov wanted to send him to pairs. Glad that he is taking waltz again. And, as noted, Moskvich’s lucky shirt!

 

[lariko]

Sarnovskiy is getting better at big and flashy Plushenko likes. I bet he will have all gold costume a-La Yagudin.

 

[lariko]

That’s… one hell of a shirt.

 

[lariko]

The choreo is def recognizable for a Mozalev’s fan like me, but too bad about the falls… alas, also recognizable as Mozalev’s fan

 

[lariko]

And more Mozalev’s moments with the music for Fedorov… but really really good skate.

 

[lariko]

Oh, gosh, unlucky Dikidzhi, with last season having his injury and no JWC… I think it’s good he kept old program.

 

[lariko]

I gotta say, really nice variety in SPs for the junior men! Probably like Ugozhaev’s the most & really liked Lazarev’s nostalgic music choice.

 

[lariko]

Damn Russian junior women are something else for sure. Titova is starting with a bang.

 

[lariko]

Yametova! I really loved her last year. Gosh, that’s power!

 

[lariko]

I am glad to see Zinina in a better shape

 

[lariko]

Curious to see Kulikova with Sokolovskaya as a coach

 

[lariko]

Aww, I hope Zhilina will one day manages to bring it all together and not get injured so much

 

[lariko]

Always a joy to watch Gorbacheva plus Trusova’s music! Magic skate!

 

[lariko]

Aww, charming Ponteleenko! Another last season fav! Love music choice and costume too

 

[lariko]

Lovely programs, but kinda blended together by the end being in the same key. I think for Junior women, Yametova, Gorbacheva and Ponteleenko made the most impression on me. Maybe Zhilina as well, but she’s just so hard to predict.
