Russian Test Skates 2014

[hanca]

Thanks for posting the pics.

Except this pic -

What is that shirt!

The poor boy was so nervous that he puked all over himself.

lol, or a little kid, just splashed some paint all over a shirt and someone decided to try and sell it.

I really hope he won't be wearing it in competitions.

Come on, guys. He is what, 12 years old? Or 13? Does it make you feel so powerful to be making fun from such a young child? He would be somewhere at junior level. I can imagine that at that stage of his career, the clothes are not considered as important as his skating. Besides, it is not as if this was an international competition. This is just monitoring how the skates are doing, to decide who deserves international assignments.

I wouldn't worry, hanca. Part of the fun of being young is wearing goofy clothes that horrify adults.

I've never seen this girl before with Eteri.

I'm not sure, but isn't that Serafima Sakhanovich?

I think it might be. With the hair and angle it just makes it harder to tell. Her hair looks the same way in this video she posted http://iconosquare.com/viewer.php#/detail/788449139321371777_308698486

It's 100% without a doubt Serafima Sakhanovich.

Thank you Sam. :agree:

I don't think so. Serafima looks completely different in her face.

From her fan page is the same exact photo.

You are right, is says at the bottom that it is her. I can't believe how different she looks when she pulls her hair so tight behind. And also it is first photo that I see her from side, usually most photos are from front.

Anyone from Russia? Some more feedback on the test skates? (yes I know these are closed test skates, but maybe someone managed to slip in somehow?)

Any chances of a skating video?

PS: What's wrong with Evgenia's legs in the video? They can't be so thin...

We aren't making fun of the child, we are making fun of his shirt. I was once that age too and had to wear some ugly clothes that my parents thought looked nice. Nothing wrong with talking about the shirt, has nothing to do with the kid's ability or anything.

I am sure people made fun of Trankov's bright yellow pants.... it even had it's own twitter.

We are just talking about things until we get some news/opinions from the test skates.

Sorry for being OT. I really want to see that Twitter.

Well, If I was 12 or 13, I would definitely not want to read about myself that I was so nervous that I puked all over myself. I would also not like to read that someone threw paint on the clothes and then decided to sell it to me. I don't really mind making fun out of Trankov's pants; he is an adult and he can take it. But I think it is hard for boys in this sport generally (lots of other kids making fun from them) and I don't think it is a good idea to make them feel even more insecure by commenting on their clothes. Let's comment on clothes on any adult skater instead.
