It's a rink in the shopping center. Looks like totally commercial project.

No shows, the man must be short of money.

 Andrei's 3a2t from StPt test skates. URed, but by far better attempt than at junior test skates.

Anyone watching the senior test skates? There's no thread in the events forum.

Oh. I see. Didn't realize they were doing their own, and the photo was captioned 'Russian test skates' so I got mixed up. 

 

I wanna see what he's doing!

Dang...sounds like his surgery and recovery went well. 

 

I was never so disappointed as when he had to withdraw from SCI last year. I was really looking forward to seeing him live. 

[Sombreuil]

I really hope this is true....

I guess Alina Zagitova is out of contention, since according to this article she is going to be the presenter of Ice Age program on Russian TV.

But our Olympic Champion isn’t taking part in a reality show either, thankfully. 
So far this news hasn’t been confirmed, let’s wait and see.

about Kolyada

Quote

For men, the main event was the return to the ice of Mikhail Kolyada, who in the summer made the transition from Valentina Chebotareva to Alexei Mishin. Kolyada skated the short program decently enough, made a quadruple toe loop in a cascade with a double and a chic triple axel. But the free one turned out to be mediocre. The bronze medalist of the World Championship did not get a quadruple, but he again made a clean triple axel. True, there was no strong technical set in this performance - as long as the skater takes care of himself. In general, the sources call the performance good and, if the scores were published, victorious.

 

about Aliev

Quote

Note that European champion Dmitry Aliev did not participate in the skates due to injury, and the exact timing of his recovery is still unknown.
