For true figure skating enthusiasts, the September skates offer a rare opportunity to peek behind the scenes of athletes' preparation before the official competitions.

On September 27 and 28, 2025, the country's best figure skaters will showcase their short and free programs as part of a two-day event. Guests will experience a true whirlwind of emotions: virtuoso performances in men's and women's singles, captivating lifts and throws in pairs, and the enchanting grace of dance duets. Each performance at these test skates is a mini-performance, where athletes share their experiences, dreams, and goals for the upcoming season.

What makes these test skates special is their relaxed atmosphere. The lack of strict judging allows the athletes to express themselves freely on the ice and feel the support of the audience. The Yubileiny Arena invariably attracts full stands, as St. Petersburg audiences are known for their warmth and deep understanding of figure skating. The thunderous applause from the fans is the ultimate reward for the athletes' courage and beauty.

The upcoming performances promise to be a vibrant spectacle, full of intrigue and surprises. Some competitors will surprise with new stylistic approaches, while others will complicate the technical elements of their programs. However, one thing is clear: the test skates at Yubileiny are more than just a sporting event; they are a true celebration of grace, skill, and the desire to win, which will set the tone for the entire season and leave an unforgettable impression on the audience.
