The upcoming season in Russian figure skating has a clear outline. On the penultimate day of the summer, the FFKKR finally published the composition for the test skates of the Russian national team, which will be held on September 16 and 17 in Megasport. Full of intrigue! Let’s take a look at each of the four types.
Girls: without Trusova and Shcherbakova, but with Valieva, Tuktik, Khromykh and Gorbacheva
Composition: Sofia Akatieva, Kamila Valieva, Alina GorbachevaVeronika Zhilina, Anastasia Zinina, Sofya Muravyova, Adelia Petrosyan, Daria Sadkova, Ksenia Sinitsyna, Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, Maya KhromykhVeronika Yametova.
Even if you carefully reread the list, you will not find Alexandra Trusova and Anna Shcherbakova there. The absence of Olympic medalists did not come as a surprise, despite Sasha’s new staged program and rumors about Anya’s possible return. Fans, it seems, knew everything for a long time and did not organize a joint purchase of tickets after the start of sales. The appearance of Trusova and Shcherbakova in the season would undoubtedly arouse a storm of interest. But so far it’s hard to believe.
Runaway from home for a day Alina Gorbacheva is on the rental list. Whether we will see an athlete who had previously been injured is a question. But it seems that the figure skater is determined to continue performing at a high level, working with Sofia Fedchenko.
I am glad that Maya Khromykh appeared in the composition – a student of Eteri Tutberidze did not compete in almost two years. They had already begun to forget about her, but the skater decided to return. If everything goes well, it will be one of the biggest comebacks of the season. We believe!
On the spot and Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, which this season can become an absolute record holder in the number of participations in the championships of Russia among all types. A Kamila Valieva will perform at Megasport 10 days before the start of the hearings on her doping case at CAS.
Guys: all in the collection, the season is guaranteed
Composition: Dmitry Aliev, Matvey Vetlugin, Peter GumennikMakar Ignatov, Artem Kovalev, Mark Kondratyuk, Gleb Lutfullin, Andrey Mozalev, Alexander Samarin, Yevgeny Semenenko, Grigory FedorovIlya Yablokov.
The most unpredictable view of last season pleases with the presence of all the leaders. Only Mikhail Kolyada, who recently announced the suspension of his career, is missing. Other than that, everything is in order. Finally, the winner of the jumping tournament will start performing in adults Grigory Fedorov. Without exaggeration, any of these 12 skaters can shoot in the new season. This is the beauty of the male loner.
Couples: Kostornaya in a new role
Composition: Karina Akopova/Nikita Rachmanin, Yulia Artemyeva/Alexei Bryukhanov, Alexandra Boykova/Dmitry KozlovskyDaria Boyarintseva/Roman Pleshkov, Yasmina Kadyrova/Valery Kolesov, Alena Kostornaya/ Georgy Kunitsa, Anastasia Mishina/Alexander GallyamovElizaveta Osokina/Artem Gritsaenko, Taisiya Sobinina/Denis Khodykin, Natalya Khabibullina/Ilya Knyazuk.
Finally, we will see the European champion in single skating Alena Kostornaya in a new role. Together with her partner and husband Georgy Kunitsa, she works hard to achieve success in couples. Test skates are the first serious test of the new duet. We have seen Alena and Gosha on the show many times, but how will they look among the best couples in the country?
Another interesting debut is Denis Khodykin paired with Taisiya Sobinina. Denis performed in a duet with Daria Pavlyuchenko for a long time, having managed to win medals at the Grand Prix stages, Russian and European championships. Pavlyuchenko seems to have ended her career, and Khodykin was looking for a new partner for a long time and found Taisiya Sobinina. Will the new figure skater be able to fully replace Daria? Intrigue!
The list does not include vice-champions of the Olympics Evgenia Tarasova and Vladimir Morozov. Have the guys really decided to end their careers?
Well, where without confrontation between the two best couples in the country, which this season will sparkle with new colors. Alexandra Boykova and Dmitry Kozlovsky went to Eteri Tutberidze, Anastasia Mishina and Alexander Gallyamov stayed with Tamara Moskvina. Who will be the best this season?
Dancing: the return of Stepanova/Bukin
Composition: Vasilisa Kaganovskaya/Valery Angelopol, Sofya Leontieva/Daniil Gorelkin, Ekaterina Mironova/Evgeny Ustenko, Annabel Morozov/Igor Eremenko, Elizaveta Pasechnik/Maxim Nekrasov, Alexandra Prokopets/Alexander Vaskovich, Alexandra Stepanova/Ivan Bukin, Irina Khavronina/David Narizhny, Elizaveta Hudaiberdieva/Egor Bazin, Elizaveta Shanaeva/Pavel DrozdSofia Shevchenko/Andrey Yezhlov.
The main event is the return of the champions of Russia, winners of the European Championships Alexandra Stepanova and Ivan Bukin after the birth of a child with a partner. In addition, the guys decided to change their coach and went to Alexander Zhulin. If nothing force majeure happens, then Sasha and Vanya will be the leaders of the season. It will be interesting to look at their programs and style. Will the experienced Zhulin be able to decorate an already bright couple?
We also have a lot of new dance couples – Shevchenko / Yezhlov, Morozov / Eremenko, Khavronina / Narizhny. Which of them rolls faster? Who will have “Chemistry”? Who will fans love?
What will the leaders of last season Khudaiberdiyeva/Bazin look like? What progress will Kaganovskaya/Angelopol and Shanaeva/Drozd, who performed well last season, make?
All answers to numerous questions – 16 and 17 September.
