1tv has the individual videos already (I'm also catching up belatedly)Due to unfortunate timing I couldn't watch most of the men... need to catch up later with videos which are hopefully available...
Gosh I disagree. (respectfully). I think because of all the media hoopla they were not able to train this week, and therefore didn't do 3A's and quads. Veronika and Adeliia-you can tell they are gunning for a place on the olympic team, a win at Russian Nationals, etc. Kamila-even with the extra weight looked very well trained and in condition. Many of the girls have been doing shows all summer, so perhaps a bit behind-but still almost all of them looked impressive, polished and ready to launch the season. (i can't wait!!!).I think in the women, you can really see the toll of no intl competitions. they don't look particularly motivated
Eh, I don't necessarily agree with this. I think people need to remember that the primary purpose of test skates is to present the programs to the officials and get feedback on them before the competitions start. It is only within the last like, 3 years that it has turned into such a spectacle. This isn't a competition, and no one should expect the skaters to perform like it is or be 100% perfect.I think in the women, you can really see the toll of no intl competitions. they don't look particularly motivated
I already posted about this in the junior test skate thread when we were watching the rhythm dance. Italian and German pop music was very popular in the USSR in the 70s-80s, because only representatives of these countries were allowed to perform on the air, recordings of their concerts were broadcast, and reports from the San Remo festival appeared. It was the only Western European music that could be heard everywhere. Our parents know this pop music very well and love it as a memory of their youth. And we love these songs after them. That's why there are so many playlists on YouTube of Italian pop music from the 70s and 80s, created by Russians and for Russians. It's a part of our culture.i'd like to ask the russians of the forum how they know some italian songs
And he did!!! Marvellous! Well done, Mondo!Thanks everyone! Now on to table tennis and Diamond league... I'm Swedish after all haha... GO Duplantis and beat your own world record!
I soooo envy you. I love that place. I'm sure you had a great timeHello everyone from Megasport, folks, I've been watching everything live and I'm very happy with it.
yes, but Zucchero isn't among those classic italian pop singer your parents like. the song picked for that program is from the 2000s and i don't think it was popular for more than a year (it was the classic very very light summer song that after the season is over nobody cares about anymore)I already posted about this in the junior test skate thread when we were watching the rhythm dance.

the song was out around that time too. fun fact: in the 80s Zucchero was far from the safe and traditional style singers like Cutugno or Ricchi e Poveri are famous for. some of his lyrics (mostly about sex) could be considered outrageous (actually i'd call most of his 80s works plagiarism but that's another matter)I think it might be one of those cases where the singer/song may be more famous outside of its own country. Baila morena, like some other Zucchero songs, definitely still gets played on the radio here in G, not often, but it's not completely forgotten. And I think for instance footballer Lothar Matthäus had him singing for his last game or something, that must have been around 2000. At that time Matthäus was still very famous and could certainly have chosen other singers, but chose Zucchero because he liked him so much...
