Russian Senior Test Skates 2021 - Short Program

[Hyena]

What they absolutely get right about this Swan Lake program is letting Dima be very dramatic and extra. Fits him to a T and it's one of my favorite things about him.

... Oh dear lord Sasha Boikova please tell me that this is the only time during the season you're going to have trouble with the throw flip I can't have last season again no no no

 

[elektra blue]

Nope, but I kinda want it now.

don't challenge them, just don't

I didn't feel like that program had enough Dima in it.

Sasha was awesome though.

Honestly I preferred Star of Happiness, this feels like a pretty generic Swan Lake, arm flaps and all, which is surprising. There’s so much a Russian pair could do with that score.

 

[EdgeCall]

Hm, so far so good for B/K. Some minor quirks but it's still test skating. Somehow I miss the strong connection between her and him that I would expect from a Swan Lake program in pairs.

 

[Novalis]

Rough around the edges performance and program. Both will improve though

Were they actually baring their teeth in the ending pose?

Aleksandra and Dmitrii are such a lovely couple together. Really 'balletty'. You can see it's still a new programme, but I think it's looking good.

 

[LadyB]

Davai, Nastya and Sasha!!!

 

[Artemisa]

I like this music ... I like the program .. sorry for the throw... but this can be big

Interesting! I totally missed that...but then I'm easily distractable.

Seriously Sasha G this costume...not acceptable.

 

[LadyB]

I love this programme forever, but they really should wear something similar to last year.

 

[anonymoose_au]

This is a good program for them though, no doubt about it!

 

[elektra blue]

amazing as usual

 

[Kittosuni]

This team is so solid. I just prefer her last season's dress

And why did they change their last lift??? That is usually a highlight

 

[Hyena]

I still think Mishina/Galliamov should had gotten a new short program, like they kind of outgrew this one. But I get it - they're gunning straight for the Olympic podium now. I love the confidence they carry now as WORLD CHAMPIONS WHAT

 

[anonymoose_au]

Sasha G is such a diva and I love his face!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

This program on the other hand, continues to be absolutely a delight. And I love his new costume! Not as sure about hers yet.

 

[LadyB]

Yeahhhh! I was hoping he'd do his final pose! Class.
However, Sasha's costume puts me off. I hope there will be a change.
