Only a couple of hours separate us from the debut of this year’s edition of Rostelecom Cup in Moscow. Until Short Dance starts (15:00, local time), here’s a few glimpses from yesterday’s practice, starting dancers, men, pair skaters. May we all have a wonderful Grand Prix event; the official hashtags are: #CoR15 and #GPMoscow. And don’t forget to pay us a visit from time to time: tons of great photos will follow…
