Has anyone been paying attention to the recent exams at the Russian schools? Curious to know if there are any students that have caught your eye!

Have heard from a student that graduating years at VBA are expected to do the entire exam on pointe (yes, like Tsiskaridze's 2025 class) and pre-graduate classes do barre on flat but all of centre on pointe. I haven't seen any videos from the graduating class that confirm this yet but it really would be a shame if that's the way going forward.
