Kagapol Skating in Hold Masterclass

First we have 2020-2021 when back outside mohawks were still considered a difficult step, so most teams did them. Not KagaGOATs who did LFO-Cross Roll into RFO-Swing Mohawk (RFO to LBO, CCW) in FOXTROT HOLD. Even now with forward outside mohawks required, most teams choose to do it in kilian hold.

Most teams after their 1st difficult step/turn already break hold & switch to hand in hand or have no contact at all with side by side skating in their style B step sequences this quad. KagaPERFECT maintain close hold with effortless changes between waltz, foxtrot, & kilian hold.

Valeri does 4/5 of his difficult steps/turns in this section. First he does LFO-Mohawk (LFO to RBO, CW) switching from foxtrot to waltz hold.

Vasilisa does LFO-Rocker (LFO to LBO, CCW) in waltz hold.

Valeri does RFI-Counter (RFI to RBI, CW) switching from waltz to kilian hold.

Kagapol both do LBO-Choctaw (LBO to RFI, CW) in kilian hold.

Valeri does RFO-Rocker (RFO to RBO, CW) in kilian hold.

Later in the step sequence Vasilisa also does her RBI-Counter (RBI to RFI, CCW) when switching from kilian to waltz hold.

So in conclusion, a JUNIOR team has done the best job this year of doing extended section without breaking hold & actually performing their difficult steps/turns while in hold.

JGP Košice

This time I went for a mix of pairs, ice dance and two men and two women.

Corey Circelli (Io ci saro * The Nutcracker) He is just so beautiful to watch. Unfortunately he had a fall on the 3A and then a fluke fall in the step sequence. I appreciate so much how the music and program gradually intensifies. Elegant. And he came back in the free. His skating is just so beautiful to watch. I know that it's impossible to do two disciplines on the highest level but I really miss him in ice dance with Olivia McIsac.

Georgii Reshtenko (Love is gone * Joker) Also a 3A fall and 3F fall. He was feeling really down after the SP. But overall it's such a good program and after reading supportive messages on IG he came back to fight in the FP! And fight he did. It was such a great program and he skated with so much joy (even though I don't like Joker programs too much) and he is so flexible! The opening part was amazing.

Sofia Muravieva (Ne Me quitte pas * Great Gatsby) Maybe, I've paid more attention to the song but I really liked the performance! And the FP is really interesting. (though the Russians' love for ending programs with a sound of a gunshot is ehm... concerning)

Vivien Papp (Latika's theme * 42nd Street) She's only 13 yo! So much energy and such a great performance, she's constantly in motion. And all the jumps were good. She's so expressive and open and performing for the public, both of these programs are really a great choice for her. And also, she does a cantilever.

Anastasia Mukhortova / Dmitry Evgenyev (Mouline Rouge * Strangers in the night, My way) MR programs have rights to exist up until the point when the terrible and drunk singer opens his mouth. Otherwise though, they rock. It was awesome! Death spiral level 4, I love good death spirals. Their first season together and they were amazing. They. Were. Flawless. In the FP. Absolutely amazing. Such a nice, cheerful skate.

Polina Kostiukovich / Aleksei Briukhanov (Earned it * Nature boy) I'm so happy for Polina that she has a partner and seems to be sticking with him. Unfortunately, they had a double fall after a lift exit but otherwise the program is good. The FP went better, it wasn't a flawless skate but a fairly good one.

Ksenia Akhanteva / Valerii Kolesov (Heart of glass * Romeo and Juliet) The step sequence is fire. They did a really great SP but unfortunately, Ksenia had a fall after she randomly tripped... Unfortunately, the free was very hard for them, poor Ksenia fell on both sbs jumps and a throw jump, Valerii tripped during the death spiral... Let's just not dwell on this comp too much!

Barbora Kuciánová / Lukáš Vochozka (Nemesis * Someone you loved) It's understandable that they are doing easier elements than more experienced skaters, especially the Russians. (Because I feel like especially in jr. pairs the Russian raise the expected standards insanely high.) And Barbora is only 14 yo. But it's a bit said that they received negative GOE on all or almost all elements. The music is really cool though. They did get some positive GOE in the FP and Ted Barton seemed to like them too. Of course, not everything worked out, they have also an aborted lift but let's see how they develop.

Natalie D'Alessandro / Bruce Waddell (Pulp fiction * Swan Lake) Their RD is calmer than the others, it's nice, they are hitting the levels. But it's the FD I love. Aww, the little balletic hops.

Vasilisa Kaganovskaia / Valeriy Angelopol (In the end * Ave Maria) They have a great program. The lift where she falls again to the ground at the beginning! The jump over her at the end! So many little innovative details. I'm usually meh about Team Krylova but this time, they nailed the choreography. It's no surprise young Russian skaters are usually winning but these two are so young. 15 and 17 yo and already fighting with T/S who are 18... I love this FD. Everything is so naturally connected, they have great speed. And I'm still very very confused why they got -2.0 deduction for a fall and it even influenced their step sequence score. The only explanation is the choreo slide aka Sinitsina/Katsalapov situation but honestly, there was no loss of balance?

Sofia Tyutunina / Alexander Shustitskiy (Do I wanna know * Babe I'm gonna leave you) I like them, I really don't like their program though. And I'm a bit sad because I really like Ekaterina Rubleva as a coach and choreographer. But it's very rhythmical and they have great flow and smooth skating skills. I really like their skating but can't get into either of the programs... Let's wait and see.

Kateřina Mrázková & Daniel Mrázek (Daddy cool * Flor de noche) I'm just so happy that they are happy. Undoubtedly, switching to ID has been the right decision for Daniel. They nailed it. They also train with Matteo Zanni in Egna (who coaches the Taschler) and I see a similar formula here as with the Taschlers. A disco RD and flamenco/tango FD. And it's a good formula, no complaints here. They really have a party on the ice. I just have to say I love Katerina's FD shiny shiny dress, it's quite unusual that the skirt is long, below the knees - though it also makes lifts a bit more challenging because it always somehow covers Daniel's face. This time, even before the first element, Daniel fell but then everything was perfect! They still have so much time to get fully used to ice dance and all the intricacies.

Margarita Svistunova & Dmitrii Studenikin (I feel like I'm drowning * Iduna) They feel like they are drowning and I don't feel anything about the RD. They are good, they have a good FD but I'll need a couple more comps to become a fan.

Ekaterina Rybakova & Ivan Makhnonosov (Meant, Bad Guy * Samson and Delilah) Another not that memorable RD. Though the FD is full of character and drama! And I love their lift perfectly fitting to the intensification of the music.

Angelina Kudryavtseva & Ilia Karankevich (Rube Blue * Einaudi) My babies are growing up so fast. It's an amazing performance. The streetdance/breakdance diving in the step sequence? Iconic. This is a team with one of the most contrasting RD and FD. Total streetdance badass performance and then this achingly beautiful soft FD. They do an almost upside down lift where she literally hangs with both of her legs behind his neck! How?!
