Aljona Savchenko is going to have a baby!

Nah, the first time he tried it on was during Skate Canada 2016 gala practice, the designer wouldn’t have been there. I remember people reporting he was shaking his hands and ams all the time.

And Ivan Righini seems to have come up with something for Sofia Samodurova...

Is it coincidence I watched this last night? First time we ever saw that glorious costume - the only time we got to see him in practice wearing a costume. See the other skaters respectfully free the ice for him.

Dmitri Soloviev is making his debut as a choreographer with Sergei Voronov.

Maxim Kovtun is retiring. https://rsport.ria.ru/20190423/1552959541.html He says he was more impressed by Yuzu’s performance at the Worlds than by Nathan’s, but he sadly thinks Yuzu has nowhere to grow as he thinks the danger of injuries is too great. And he’d rather see Yuzu skate than kill himself with 4A...

Naname!!! Hope someone gives the gist of the interview soon!

Guys, have you mistaken this thread for General Skating Chat?

Btw, it’s a year since this great event!

And I was curious as to why I never learnt about it before you!

Ladies jeans might be a good fit, but finding ones which have a high waist is a bother! Lol

Oh, we have Yuhana Yokoi with POTO too..

Moulin Rouge, Muse and LLL? Anything else? Any dormant Carmens?

Actually, Marin might do it well if she lands her jumps. She has that bubbly personality.

Unfortunately, Gabi came back from WTT with another concussion, two broken ribs and a serious injury on her knee. Hope she recovers from all that and leaves this dreadful season behind.

Well, imagine the situation, when good half of those bests are made by skaters from one Federation only. What do you do then?

If anyone feels like it, you can watch Tutberidze show over here

The federation decides who gets to go. There’s 18 spot limit for any fed. So if it’s just Alina, Zhenya, Sonya, Liza, Sasha, Alena, Anna, and say Stasya, it’s 16 spots out. Two left - and the competition for them is going to be quite hot...

None of Russian girls have a guaranteed spot apart from Alina, Zhenya and Sonya. There are only so many spots and too many candidates

Gordeeva never changed her surname. You don’t have to change it when you get married, you can, but it’s not an obligation in Russia. My mother also stayed with her maiden name. Frankly, it’s just too much bother, legally. Bestemyanova is married to Bobrin and stays Bestemyanova. Bobrova is married to Deputat, but she’s Bobrova. etc etc etc.
