Zagitova’s participation in the pre-season event had been confirmed by the Russian Figure Skating Federation, with fans anticipating her long-awaited comeback following a lengthy break. 2020/21 Russian Test Skates. Free Program The skater paused her competitive career last year, explaining that she needed a respite after two hard seasons during which she scooped European, world and Olympic titles. The athlete immediately dismissed rumors about her possible retirement, promising to return to the ice as soon as she feels ready to compete at the highest level. At the beginning of the new season, Zagitova and her choreographer Daniil Gleikhengauz intrigued lovers of figure skating by announcing that they were working on new programs.  The Olympic champion constantly fueled rumors about her return, posting videos from her resumed training sessions. However, her highly anticipated comeback has been delayed again, after the athlete withdrew from the test skate due to her involvement in a television show, where she will make her debut as a presenter. Zagitova will host popular skating show ‘Ice Age’ on Russia’s Channel One, together with prominent skater Alexei Yagudin. “I have decided not to take part in the test skate scheduled for Sep 12-13 because now I’m interested in taking up the new role of ‘Ice Age’ hostess,” Zagitova said, announcing her decision just three days before the planned start. http://instagram.com/p/CE6W5l6Jttm |

Alena Kostornaya skated under You should see me in a crown from Billie Eilish. Alena did not quite succeed in triple lutz, the skater on the snipe was a little shaken. The flip toe loop cascade was good.
- It was exciting. The most exciting moment was when I did my hair. But after going out on the ice, everything was removed by hand. I feel happy, content, ready to train. The support of the audience helps a lot. Energy from all ideas.
I grew by three centimeters during the quarantine. If the technique is standing, then there will be no problems with jumping with any body.
The difference in training approach? With Evgeny Viktorovich, he is different, more calm. It is felt. We did all the same, somewhere even stronger than the OFP. But even after the unsuccessful rental, no one drove, did not swear.
23:39
Magic Kamila Valieva, gorgeous choreography and amazing technique: triple flip, double axel and a cascade of triple lutz-triple toe loop. The champion of all juniors rode under Erid Redford's Storm.
- I wanted to show my maximum to match the level of adults. Has grown by 4-5 centimeters during quarantine. At first it was difficult, but I got used to it.
I will skate Bolero in the free program. Yes, I watched "Bolero" this program with other skaters. I was impressed by Carolina Costner's variation.
There is no feeling of rivalry at the box office. I just look at adults, I try to be the same.
23:34
Anna Shcherbakova has a wonderful and touching program, she skated under O doux printemps d'autrefois. Jumping set - almost maximum for short: double axel, triple flip and Lutz-Rittberger cascade. The audience stood up.
- I realized that this is a start, only after getting into the initial position. I'm glad I did all the elements. The music was chosen by my coaches. I'm skating about the loss of a loved one, everyone should understand it in their own way. Dress - training rental, for the competition will be different.
Many different emotions about the season. There is still a regret that the World Cup was canceled. I hope this year will be both Europe and the world. We all grow up. I feel that I have become a little more mature in my approach to programs.
Now even half of my form is missing. Therefore, the main thing now is to show the programs.
23:12

Anna Shcherbakova
Kamila Valieva
Alena Kostornaya

 00:15 Closed the skate of Alexandera Trusova. A touching program, it was Appassionata from Secret Garden. Sasha went on a triple axel, but in the air she realized that there would be a double. The triple flip and the lutz-toe loop cascade turned out to be excellent. - I was a little worried. There was a long break. But a lot of spectators, a lot of support. Today I wanted to show my program well. I wanted to show myself from the other side, I finally have slow music. I feel like I'm changing. My height? I didn't measure it, I don't know. Probably grown. This does not affect my technique. I estimate that I am 60 percent ready. I am not doing the triple axel stably yet. It's a shame that the season is like this. I would like us to always fly to different countries. But I am glad that there will be some kind of competition. 00:11 Evgenia Medvedeva has a very beautiful program - accompanied by a waltz from "Masquerade" by Khachaturian. From the content: cascade rittberger toe loop - clean, great snipe - with a blot, lutz - step-out. - I will assess the performance as satisfactory. This is not the maximum. but this is only the beginning of the season, there were even blots on the elements, but not critical. She was with Brian all the time in touch. In the last couple of years, I have not had any skates. This year was better. 00:04 “A Man with Harmony” from Sofya Samodurova is an interesting program, but, like Tuktamysheva little earlier, Sonya was left without a cascade. 23:59 Elizaveta Tuktamysheva took the music for the ballet "Spartacus". Liza looks very cool in this program, but the content did not work out: a “butterfly” instead of a trixel, an unsuccessful landing on a flip, which left her without a cascade. But Lutz was really cool. |

00:19 Kamila Valieva skated to the Bolero. Fell from the first quadruple toe loop, but made it in a cascade with a double. The rest was very good. The program looks a breeze. - Everything is fine after the fall. In training, this also happens. A little worried. In principle, I am glad to everyone, glad that I performed with adults. Except for some mistakes in the free skate. Now I'm about 70-80 percent ready. 00:14 Alexandra Trusova today: falling from the quadruple lutz pure cascade of toe loop 4-3 oiled solo quadruple toe loop other elements - shine.  The minimum plan is fulfilled! - So far I am performing with three quads. We decided that now we don't need to skate my maximum. I got great pleasure, it was nice to ride here. Everyone has mistakes. I will try to do cleanly lutz at the next starts. The coaches said about mistakes and also said that I was struggling. |
