Russian Senior Test Skates 2021 - Free Skating

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Why do the Russian men have no stamina? The jumps in the second half have all been super rough for everyone.

Semenenko to Nebelhorn!

Okay so I loved the concept (I love Dima+I love And The Waltz Goes On=LOVE), but the execution... I'm going to wait until I see a semi-clean version to give a verdict

 

[Jontor]

Hmm...Aliev. Looks like stamina issues here as well.

I don't know what Rukavicin does with his proteges, but it really seems he sucks the air out of them...

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Lovely program!

Because it's only September.

The reason used to be that they don't do full runthroughs, but now I'm not so sure. Surely they've learned lol.

Semenenko to Nebelhorn!

He can't go, since he skated in the FS at worlds.

Hey remember when Dima skated this at the Channel 1 Cup had a random fall and Yagudin humiliated him for it.

I sure do. And I bet that hypocrite will be all nicey-nice today like people don't have memories. Or maybe he's being a straight up jerk about it. Who knows.

(Yes, I'm still angry about it.)

They can’t send him, unfortunately, since he was one of the men at Worlds who qualified the spots (can’t send Kolyada either)

damn!

 

[elektra blue]

i'm back! my homemade tagliatelle tasted like my feelings, or my feelings tasted like my homemade tagliatelle, pick one

Semenenko to Nebelhorn!

It will be Samarin.

 

[Jontor]

OK. That was kind of a mixed bag.

We had on average:
2,7 falls
4,3 wonky landings
1,2 pops
1,3 tired spins

Not bad for a Men's Event!

I hope MK

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

A girl has got to eat, hope to make it back in time for the second group of pairs. See you in a bit!

 

[florin]

Aliyev can't either, for some reasons of his own. Then Samarin or Kondratyuk

 

[Totentanz]

Looks like it will be Sokolovskaya going to Nebelhorn in the end, not Rukavitsin.

Like...I'm gonna regret saying this, but a lot of people have attacked Misha for skating to SL while not being Jewish.

But...Mark just skated to a program about Jesus with some rather...confronting imagery. Are Christians therefore entitled to ask when he last went to church? What about all the Ava Maria's?

Funny that you mentioned that, because when I first saw Kolyada take his position I didn't see the tie and thought he was dressed as a Nazi SS soldier!! I was thinking "Now THIS is going to be an interesting take....." LOL! I absolutely love his skating the most of all the other men (even Jason), and I was thinking even if he's going with a "Olympics for Hitler" take on The Producers, I'm probably not going to stomach it...

I hope MK

I assume you mean Mark K not Misha K, as he can't go.
