And wrong, heeeh even though yes, apart from little Bet, I doubt anyone else will try. In the FS Gossips article she said that she tried it a couple of times, but didn't really practice it. The R-Sport article didn't go into details so I think my translation wasn't that accurate. Maybe she'll practice it more after the Olympics but it's really early to tell now.

You know, at this point I wonder if they're all almost feeling obliged to say they've tried it etc. And yes, plenty of time to go until then, she and everyone else have bigger fish to fry right now! With Zagi coming in, Masha's place is definitely not secure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has to be consistently good in the season and I understand that it's not the right time to risk anything, but I wish her program choices were a bit more interesting...

True that and it might end up being a disservice to her as so many Russian ladies have quite a bit of strong personality on ice. We'll see I guess.

Yatagarasu Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 Do we have the news here? Ksenia and Fedor are missing the test skates, he's still injured (had surgery last month) and has a ban on working with weight until Sept 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fay Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Apparently, Aliev jumped 4Lz, 4T3T and 3A. Kolyada the same, but landed 4Lz two-footed. But that's hearsay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yatagarasu Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 Ah so both! I couldn't sort out the reports, no wonder there's confusion then! Dima's not skating the FS though, but Mika should. And Adelina and Yulia won't be at the test skates. http://tass.ru/sport/4502584 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his interview he said that the surgery had nothing to do with injury so he's not injured. But he didn't give any other information. The rumors are that they had to change their program urgently and they need more time to work on it before Finlandia Trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
