I bet seeing red colour :disagree::disagree::disagree::disagree: is quite an experience for 8yo children. :rolleye:
They probably wanted tears and despair for TV ratings, unfortunately for them, those Russian kids are tough as nails. :sarcasm:

Should be noted that most of those kids are professional skaters, one of the bests in Russia among their age. For example, Akatieva's jumps were 3Lz-3T, 3F(fall). Berestovskaya's jumps are 3Lo, 3S. 10yo kids! :bow:

Well I mean, if it's a competition they can't expect everyone to go through, I'm sure they were explained how it worked. We have a talent show for kids in Italy and they get eliminated too, it's just how the game works - as long as the judges were nice about it it's fine (which idk because I don't speak Russian)

very nice :biggrin:

Averbuch to 8yo girl

Yep, and TAT is just rude basically all time =)

Overall though, those kids are not just some random kids from the nearest rink, they have a pretty decent competition experience right now, so I suppose they will survive.

How do the kids get eliminated? Akatieva for example received only one positive vote from judges. Is she in or eliminated?
Berestovskaya is adorable.

Akatieva is in because she got a vote of approval

Totally agree, Berestovskaya is a gem

Now every coach shows, that he is ready to take this kid (or not ready to take). If only one of the coaches take the kid - this kid is in his (her) team. If more than one coach agrees to take the kid - they choose one coach for this kid.
Every coach will have 3 single skaters and 3 pairs (dancers).

Russians too would prefer to see only green thumbs.

Maxim Zavosin's son was also in the show and qualified to the next round, as far as I could understand.

There is a difference between hearing criticism from coaches and judges at a usual competition vs having celebrities do it to you on a television program, which none of these kids has ever experienced before. I couldn't understand the criteria for judging anyway, as I thought a few of those who weren't taken were more interesting than those who were. Probably won't watch any more.

Thanks. So it's like "the voice".

Me either. I didn't understand why some were eliminated. I don't like this kind of tv show anyway. Toi much unfairness sometimes.

You're can turn on subtitles and then choose a language in settings. It's far from perfect, but will help understand the general gist.

Probably the ones that are elimated are the lucky ones...Some of these skaters are only babies...When I read the caption “Ice Age Kids”, ice age kids yes but Ice Age tactics.

I like the show, it certainly popularizes the sport, it's just some stupid details like red :disagree::disagree::disagree::disagree: and sometimes very harsh commentary that are spoiling the overall idea which is OK imo.

Russian skating kids are tough and resilient to honest criticism, but there is no need to be unkind to them in front of million viewers. :confused2:

Why did Aleksa Volkova get kicked out for doing a well-exceuted 2Lz-2T combo with a correct edge while Diana Zubkova went on to the next round with a 3flutz<<-2T and a 2A<(fall)?? :confused:

don't even try to find logic in a show where TAT serves one of the main roles :biggrin:
