2022-23 Cup of Russia - Stage 5 - Samara

[lariko]

That was a long combo with that extra Eu. Kinda reminds me the times of Rodnina with their bunch of tiny jumps, dunno what they were, singles? but they jumped lots of them…

 

[LadyB]

That was nice, Maya and Igor!!

 

[lariko]

Enjoyed this program the most, too bad about the mistakes.

 

[LadyB]

Lovely programme from Moskalyova/Lozhkin as well. Enjoyed this event. Congrats to all the medallists.

 

[lariko]

And, grats to Sh/Sh, it was a close one!

 

[EdgeCall]

Oy, I missed pairs! Forgot to check the time zone.

 

[LadyB]

Oy, I missed pairs!

You can always rewatch - nice performances!

 

[lariko]

Agree, just rematch, there weren’t too many of them.

Anyway, Marshmallow the Cat has been fed and watered, and my coffee is almost there. I think I am all set for junior women!

 

[lariko]

and, yay, Smirnova by the boards! Gonna be a good day.

Enjoy, I'm back for the boys!

 

[lariko]

And, gosh, the first group is right away.

 

[lariko]

I can watch Morozova skate to that song in that dress like thousand times and not tire of it. I hope it will be as successful outing for Morozova and Puzin as the last one was for Popov. Smirnova’s group into Nationals/Cup! I need it!

 

[EdgeCall]

Not a bad start!

Although YDGUOL is already the dominion of someone else, and the cover wasn't so special either.

 

[EdgeCall]

Darn. Overeager entry => no combo.

 

[lariko]

And Sadkova right after… we are not building up slowly here, are we? Shame about the combo tho.

I really like dress detailing, and kind of ‘drunken master’ feel to the step sequence, despite low level, heh

I don't think the "drunken master" episode was intentional. She narrowly avoided a fall.

Ouch, lost a lot on TES.

I know, but it was unusual…

and… Kulikova!!!

 

[EdgeCall]

Yay! Kulikova has the right mix. Solid tech and good performing skills.

 

[lariko]

Yeah, here is a letter to all the people who think younger women can’t be artistically expressive. Gosh, I loved this program for her.
