Sofia Akateva

[Arwen17]

It's a beautiful melody, also the iconic Floor routine of Aliya Mustafina in Rotterdam but the lyrics are really creepy, it's about human sacrifice.

Lyrics "Hijo de la Luna" by Mecano: HHS Music Video - Happy Hour Spanish

Continue learning Spanish through music with another Spanish classic: Hijo de la Luna. This version done by the famous Spanish band of the 1980s “Mecano” – still the best selling Spanish band of all time. The song itself tells a dark tale of a woman who gives up her first born child to the …

"Child of the Moon" who could've guessed the topic of such titled music!

Utterly beyond me how musicians will keep telling the blank truth like this for people to let it through one ear and out the other, and dismiss it as artistic deviance or trivial provocation loool.

Probably one of my favourite dresses. As someone else said - Knyazhna Akateva. Of course skating itself was very elegant, too.

Sonik's clean 4T during the warm-up in SPB. Pity it didn't work out in program, but it will surely come.

Sonik with little skaters, I presume those were participants of today's stage of battle of the schools, which took place in Eteri's team new arena:

Daniil on Sonik's training and preparation:

Daniil Gleikhengauz: “With Akateva we are working on the stability of the quadruple sheepskin coat, because it was not yet so stable as to 100% wait for it to go out in competitions”​

Gleikhengauz said that Akatieva is working on the stability of the quadruple sheepskin coat.
— How is Sonya Akatieva’s emotional state? What’s stopping her from purely showing what she can do at the box office?
— Sonya arrived after the competition, and we all at headquarters already talked to her. Now it is working, we are working on the stability of the quadruple sheepskin coat, because it has not yet been so stable as to 100% wait for it to go out to competitions.
We always say that in order to confidently perform an element at the start, you need to do it 80–90 percent during training, then at the start you will go out and do it more confidently. Therefore, now we are working on the stability of the sheepskin coat, rolling out programs.
The main thing is that she has enough strength for the second half, which hindered us now at the stage in St. Petersburg. But this still affects us very often due to nerves, because when we worry too much and are nervous, we run out of strength faster. And in the second half (of the program), the legs no longer obey, so these errors appear, which do not appear so often in the training process,” said Gleikhengauz .
