Test skates of the Russian figure skating team in Moscow

Test skates are the event that marks the start of the Russian figure skating season and one of the most anticipated sporting events of September. The country's best skaters will gather at the CSKA Arena: the athletes will present programs that will carry them throughout the upcoming season. Tickets are on sale now: don't miss your chance to see the national team in full force on one rink.

Over the years, the test skates have evolved into a standalone show with full stands and a lively reaction from the audience. Spectators applaud successful elements, freeze during quadruple jumps, and greet each program with a standing ovation. At the same time, the atmosphere remains professional: coaches give instructions on the fly, and the athletes review their routines immediately after the skate. This combination of elite sport and almost behind-the-scenes candor is not found at official tournaments.

For fans, test skates are also a way to understand the balance of power ahead of the season. Which skaters have increased the complexity of their content, who have changed coaches, who has recovered from injury and is ready to compete for a spot on the national team, who is targeting the Russian Cup, and who will miss the first competitions. The list of participants is published shortly before the event and always provokes heated discussion. The answers to all your questions will be provided on the ice of the CSKA Arena—come and see everything with your own eyes.
