Russian Senior Test Skates 2022

[Pairluv]

Excellent from Tar/Mor. The SBS jumps and spins were perfect.

T/M brought me back here. Magnificent! Best SP in years..

 

[Cherub721]

Like Alina, I am in shock how good that was.

So effortless, so easy. They are now up there with the greats.

Can I confess that I am loving the divorce and want things to stay like this?

It’s like realizing that you should have gotten out if a loveless marriage way before you did.

One side has the better skaters, the better production values, the better promotion and the better product. The other was just riding their coat tails and offers absolutely nothing in return except archaic thinking and archaic regulations.

Good point. However I think the athletes would still prefer to be competing internationally. I do agree with the archaic thinking and regressive rules etc!!

Actually test skates are better than any international full grown women competition

Yes absolutely .

I was thinking that, again it's only test skates, and the production of it has been better that any ISU event, only with the broadcast is a huge difference.
ISU has a lot work to do

It's ridiculous how much better this is than certain PAID streaming services and with better skaters too. I'm so grateful.

WTF, Ilya! Not the yellow pants again... Other than that, I like K/K.

 

[Skatelife]

After winning the silver, T&M are going to. Skate more free than ever, I expect great performances as they already did

 

[Mariiiiskate]

I like K/K a lot but for love of god someone burn those pants, Ilya I beg no more they are hideous ffs

 

[Cherub721]

I still feel like these guys are a bit green but they are growing on me

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Even better than in Junior test skates Julia and Alexey suit each other so much! Im so glad this partnership was born they get better every time we see them!

 

[EdgeCall]

Fun program! Interesting dress choice. Julia's eye makeup is maybe a little bit much.

 

[Pairluv]

Julia's runout on her throw jump was excellent. I really liked that from them

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Next up another new pairing! Jasmina and Valery!

 

[uwoawuwoa]

Lip syncing to a program is an immediate turn off for me. Also does she even know French. Or is she just miming gibberish French?

Yes she is mouthing the actual french words.
Source: I speak french

 

[uwoawuwoa]

I would like a social experiment someday. The team should say that someone else made the program, see the reactions and say at the end of the season that it was Danny G.

Agreed someone needs to do this experiment. I'd love to see the live reactions.

 

[Pairluv]

I've never been a fan of the way Moskvina teaches the twist, but the SBS elements are always very good. Not sure about this pairing. I think it's the weakest of the new shuffles.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Im still undecided over this new pair, lets see how they do in the Russian cup

 

[Cherub721]

Lovely and mature program. This suits Sasha like a glove and Nastya is becoming so elegant.

 

[EdgeCall]

Awesome!

But tbh in the Moskvina vs. Tutberidze duel I think the first point goes to the latter.
