Such a shame they won’t be able to compete internationally this season, but I understand that the ban needs to be in place. Sasha and Dima switch feds challenge 👻👻👻
Thoughts: Rebecca has these gorgeous hands. And I liked her earrings. The choreography here was really unique as well.
Knierim/Frazier(USA)
Thoughts: That royal blue color looks so good Alexa. But poor Brandon almost knocked his head into the boards.
James/Radford(CAN)
Thoughts: I like that teal color on Vanessa. Is Eric’s hair turning gray?! No thank you.
Artemeva/Nazarychev(RUS)
Thoughts: How quickly Julia has become one of my favorite pairs women to watch. That last lift was very shaky. The landing on the throw triple flip wasn’t the cleanest either.
Boikova/Kozlovski(RUS)
Thoughts: I think this is the first outfit from Dmitri that I actually like. Death spiral was awkward looking. My favorite death spiral actually came from the Italians. The landing on Alexandra’s triple sal. She had to pull her leg in real fast so her foot didn’t go into the wall.
Maybe unpopular opinion, but though Mishina/Galliamov have amazing skate and they basically skate without any mistake, I somehow don't enjoy their skate as much as I do Tarasova/Morozov or Boikova/Kozlovskii
I just... dunno what is it... it feels like there's some chemistry or presence missing, or some character... Their skate makes me just clap hands approvingly while saying "splendid" and sip a cup of tea while seeing skate of second two pairs makes me hyped and emotional, making weird sounds while saying "that was some fucking amazing program!"

mishina/galliamov are good - they did good at rusnats and have good twists and throws. but… do they deserve those goes and pcs? no, not in any way at all. getting 10s for that free skate is just a crime against skating. it sucks because id be a fan of them if they were accurately scored since she just seems like the most adorable person ever, but just looking at their protocols i start fuming. also i hate their free skate, the fact they are reusing transitions from a QUEEN PROGRAM in a lyrical romantic program… what??
Aleksandra Boikova and Dmitrii Kozlovskii competing their James Bond free program at the 2021 Russian Championships. They skated to Writing's on the Wall from Spectre.
Thoughts: I feel like near the end of the choreography, Rebecca strayed away from her character.
Boikova/Kozlovski(RUS)
Thoughts: because in my opinion, these 2 often stand in the way of Tarasova/Morozov, I often find myself comparing the two teams. Glad to see Tarasova/Morozov still have better outfits.
Women free skate
Yuhana Yokoi(JPN)
Thoughts: I was not expecting this from her. Numbers-wise not a complete 180. But the energy. The fabulous yellow dress. This was a riot. Thank you, dear Yuhana.
Mariah Bell(USA)
Thoughts: while I was not fond of her music choice or her hair choice, the ending did have a nice softness to it.
As a supporter of Stepbuk, b/k and Sasha for ROC waiting for the announcements to know who is going to do the free programs for the team event is a real torture. You don't know what I feel, you don't know...
