2021-22 Russian Pairs' Figure Skating

[skated011]

I don’t think T/M will go for worlds. This was the competition to close their career. They did everything they could and M/G were still breathing down their necks.

they didnt mention any retirment after the event
they also competed at Worlds after 2018 Olympics

I think they will go, maybe take a break or announce whats to come after.

Sliusarenko/Trankov or Stolbova as they have been training with her recently (Boikova landed the throws again after a few problematic competitions)

Klimovs team in Sochi is also good
He is using Stoloba/Klimovs technique just look at Rakhmanin/Akopova

I don't think Rusfed had to push M/G that much. They scored 151.80 in the FS at Worlds 2021, and 154.95 here (I think the Worlds skate was better, but both were clean). Being World champ, plus being so consistent can both make scores rise. Like they definitely politicked for them, but M/G also made it very easy for them to do.

Everyone has their oppinions, depending if you like a skater, or not. I was surprised that T/M were so close to M/G in the technical score, because Evgenias landings weren´t stellar. Of course, they deserve higher PCS than M/G, but they usually don´t score as high in the technical score.
And I find it very surprising (and not right) that T/M got higher PCS than S/H. So we can say that Russian federation pushed for T/M as well.

I'm not sure who pushed whom, but it was interesting to see that three judges put S/H as first in the free, three T/M and three M/G.

But the scores in the FS were so close to each other I don’t think it matters that much. But surely it must be a bit disappointing for both Russian pairs that skated clean and had to stay 2nd and 3rd. I don’t see a problem with it, but it surely must be a bit of a bummer. Again, the result was not that far off, it was really a small difference. Even between second and third.

 

[lariko]

I am sure they are disappointed, but I don’t think they had any expectations of winning over S/H on home ice. S/H has both the career acknowledgment going for it and sentimental advantage of the only host gold medallist potential. I mean, this is Olympics and figure skating

Yes, they are really good! Hope to see them get GP events next season
Is it just me wondering why the Fed wants to exhaust their Olympians by sending them to Channel One cup before worlds? If it's for ratings surely you'd schedule it for after worlds, or perhaps showcase the depth of russian figure skating and give opportunities to those (pairs) who aren't assigned to major ISU competitions?

 

[Jasira]

I'm not sure who pushed whom, but it was interesting to see that three judges put S/H as first in the free, three T/M and three M/G.

Actually, I am fine with M/G being third. It will motivate them to improve even further. Galliamov said that the judges showed them where they have to improve and that they will work on it. And that´s the right attitude. They are only 20 and 22 years old and have so much time left.

Thanks ever so much for this! I was able to finally see the rest of the women's competition I missed earlier due to the 1tv.com/live stream acting up.

(Rumour) New pair - Kadyrova/Kolesov

Was expecting Kolesov and Akhantyeva to break up after this season as it went badly for them and its their last junior eligible season but was not expecting Kadyrova and Balchenko to break up as other than the nationals results they had a good season.

 

[lariko]

Oh, I loved K/B, and I am not a fan of Kolesov, but if they work together, let’s wait and see.

I just wanted to rave how good all 4 pairs were in Skate Saransk Team. I wish Russia considers just pairs only competition.
