2021-22 Russian Nationals: Women's FS

[Vemvane]

Another amazing skate from Sofia! Three quads, one in the second half, beautiful, flexible spins, and the energy in her legs to perform her step sequence so well that she managed a level 4. When jumping, she appears to get her feet very tight in the air very fast, from the slow-mo replays. What a super skate from her!

 

[Hyena]

Are they...are they serious with Sofia's PCS? What's even the point of holding those down like that?

 

[balabam]

Oh that was ugly have they put her just under Petrosyan

 

[Mista Ekko]

Did Samodelkina also land 3 quads, or i'm loosing my mind?

Well she went down 10 points so maybe not 3 whole ones

 

[snowflake]

Third Sofia... GO, skate well!

 

[yume]

Disappointing score for Sofia S.

 

[Novalis]

Third Sofia... GO, skate well!

And Akatieva was born a week too late

 

[astaphta]

Ugh my stress is growing for Valieva. Must be a special kind of pressure when everyone just kind of takes for granted that you're a shoo in for Olympic gold

 

[florin]

Oh that was ugly have they put her under Petrosyan

why??? her quads with such obivios UR

 

[Placebo11]

OMG the level of the last group is insane!

 

[starlight97]

Sad for Liza but without even a 3-3 vs what Sasha just did, there can't be any discussion.
So proud of Trusova, this was the highest pressure skate of her career and she managed to make it one of her best ones. I wonder if she even realised her Olympics were hanging on this program? Her coaches certainly knew judging from their expressions throughout

 

[astaphta]

Disappointing score for Sofia S.

Yeah. She lost almost ten points in TES looks like, I suppose from URs mostly

Leonardo DiCaprio voiceovers have become a staple in skating, which is odd. I believe they should be replaced by the same words performed by skating commentators like Ted Barton, TAT, and Dick Button.

 

[Mista Ekko]

Finally someone is attempting some, You know, Skating and performing
I'm sure the judges won't care though

 

[rollerblade]

Oh hey they took out the crazy crashing sound effects mid program? Will they take out the gun shot at the end?

 

[SnowWhite]

Quad attempts: 14 (4T x5, 4Lo x2, 4S x3, 4F x1, 4Lz x3)
Successful quads: 9 (4T x1, 4F x1, 4Lz x3, 4Lo x2, 4S x2)

3A attempts: 4
Successful 3A: 3

 

[starlight97]

I guess the only surprising thing that could happen now would be a meltdown from Anna? But since that has never happened in her entire career...

 

[SnowWhite]

Oh hey they took out the crazy crashing sound effects mid program? Will they take out the gun shot at the end?

No

 

[skatesofgold]

Sofia M was great, just the step out on second triple axel.

 

[Fluture]

oh hey, Plushy actually did a smart thing and took out the 4S. Thank god. And only a step out of the second 3A, that's pretty good! Well done
