Russian Senior Test Skates 2021 - Short Program

[lariko]

oh, hell, she is back!

 

[Totentanz]

A very detailed choreography with beautiful nuances! Well done Ksenia and her team.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Personally not a fan of the dress (I like it less puffy) but her skating is sublime as expected

 

[MaggieLin]

Ksenia - GIVE HER ALL THE PCS!!!
First appearance of this program and I am already loving it. Can't keep track of all the details already. Beautiful beautiful spins (love the hand positions on the first spin esp!)

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Lovely program, though maybe a bit sedate for me after 5 hours of early morning skating.

I'm not sure about the program, it's a little bit one-note, but she's still so beautiful so from me.

 

[Skatesocs]

So beautiful!

She's great. The program was so generic, for me though. =/

 

[Jontor]

Fantastic Ksenia!!

She is such a great PCS skater. My favourite so far

 

[Imminielle]

I love the dress, the music, the choreo and the fact that she is back in full force !

 

[Apple1078]

Ksenia!! Beautiful skater!!!

 

[EdgeCall]

Like a fairy. Well done.

 

[readernick]

Just . There is a reason I love my little attention to detail Queen Ksenia. Every movement has meaning! I actually like the dress.

Agree, not sold on the program at all.

 

[Vemvane]

The footwork and choreographic details in Ksenia's programmes are always so unique and refreshing - and the smoothness of her axel was jaw-dropping, from take-off to that remarkably quiet landing. She is a lovely young skater, and I hope she has a super senior debut season!

 

[silveruskate]

That program was special

Fantastic Ksenia!!

She is such a great PCS skater. My favourite so far

No ugly tights yet

When I heard it’s a lullaby I immediately thought “the music won’t fit great to skating, it doesn’t have any climax, very one note beginning to end”.
So I kept my expectations low and was interested to see what Vera could do with it. I think she did great considering adapting this music to skating is not an easy job!
Ksenia was very delicate and a delight to watch!

 

[alexocfp]

Group 2 now. Hope they don’t start fighting during warmups. Haha

Maybe it's just too "mature" for her. She tried her best, but she couldn't carry the music, IMO (and again, the choreo was generic).

I thought it could be interesting, but it's probably just too hard to make a program for, meeting all the technical demands. Agree that she tried her best, though.
