Note that Russian Cup protocols use a Bonus points system so some of these scores may include some bonus points for elements like spins (Gulyakova got two extra points due to high GOE spins)

 

I saw this when I saw the B thing and I still do not quite understand the point of these bonus points. You'd think they are just messing with skaters' heads, considering they don't exist anywhere else. Huh.

So much blue. 

Take with a grain of salt but apparently the rumors are this is going to be Evgenia's FS dress?

 

And more blue!

haha, @xeyra beat me!

I'll wait until I see it on her before I pass a judgement on it.

Also in motion, though I think it would look fine, looking at that skirt. These are beautiful colors though, they would go well against the ice.

Zhenya seems to prefer longer skirts than most, anyway - so I find this costume quite credible. 

I love the skirt and I like the colors but I'm not convinced with it on the mannequin so I'll await to cast my final judgement when I see her dressed with it. 

Edit: I don't particularly care for the large golden patch in the front/back.

Agreed and that beading really reminds me of the style of her first, Boston, FS dress.

The colour is brighter - this shade looks gorgeous on the ice. We all know it... 

 

Well, we also know that Zhenya often goes for longer sleeves... (which I adore) 

The skirt will probably look amazing in motion but I'm not really fond of that weird golden/transparent circle design in the front.. 

I can't believe the designer posted it before Zhenya has had the chance to wear it  Big blooper there of it is indeed true. 

 

And that gold patch, isn't that illusion fabric? So it will look flesh-coloured in those areas when actually worn. Agree that the placement in front is kind of weird though.
