Russian Senior Test Skates 2021 - Short Program

[LadyB]

Valieva is dressed like my grandma.

Very stylish nan!

 

[Imminielle]

OMG, this is Olympics worthy for sure. Such a great program and music.

 

[Apple1078]

The long skirt is so matronly. She looks solid though.

 

[Novalis]

Valieva is dressed like my grandma.

But does your Grandma jump triksels?

 

[Skatesocs]

Oh, extremely well done. Best performance of the day.

 

[Supernovaimplosion]

Valieva doesn't make me feel anything

 

[silveruskate]

Not as good as Storm maybe 50% as good, but everything she does is better than everyone else. Wonderful Kamila!

 

[elektra blue]

i could watch Kamila spinning the whole day, but other than that the program felt so generic

 

[readernick]

Valieva is definitely the favorite this year. Her spins are incredible. I don't mind the long dress because I think it serves to mature her. However, her skating leaves me cold.

 

[breadstal]

That was a statement from Kamila, perfect. I do like this program, sure not groundbreaking, but very Olympic-ish and every element looked great.

 

[lariko]

I liked the program for the first couple minutes, but then it felt liked it droned on a little. She skated so very clean though… gosh, if only Trusova could translate practice into competition this well.

 

[Hyena]

Kamila was excellent. The program isn't terribly interesting, but she knows how to deliver it. And if she's jumping like that I don't know if anyone can beat her.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Well done (minus the edge change between her combos, can she please fix that at least before the Olympics), but to be honest I was very much bored, it was basically her last season's SP

 

[nussnacker]

Oh, extremely well done. Best performance of the day.

Absolutely.
She’s stunning, that 3A is as good as ever.

 

[EdgeCall]

Beautiful.

I was in doubt about the dress, but it doesn't seem to disturb her.

 

[Jontor]

Amazing Kamila!

And we saved the best for last. If there were actual scoring here, Kamila would probably lead with about 15 points.

She is ready to slay this season!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

 

[breadstal]

She has the most airy 3A

 

[yume]

She's developed a COMMANDING presence this past season. I'm 100% on board with her being OGM.

Who? Liza?

 

[readernick]

Valieva doesn't make me feel anything

Yes, this is the problem. Off the ice she is absolutely the most adorable human being. But, I never feel at all drawn to her skating.
