Wow, just wow!
Absolutely brilliant programme - loved the choreo and spot on costumes.
Molodtsy!!!!

 

[EdgeCall]

Very impressive speed and flow!

 

[Mariiiiskate]

I can breathe now was it the cleanest of skates no but they did very well and will be at least getting a silver and im so relieved happy for them

I truly hope they stay together I do think they need 1 more season to fully gel together but they do work

 

[LadyB]

Davai, Katya and Matvey - give the Nats the finish they deserve!

Ooo two unitards!

In other news are there no Moskvina students here?

 

[EdgeCall]

Darn, first Matvei botches a SBS jump then Katya does. They should do it together, costs fewer points.

Still an impressive performance. Will it be enough?

 

[elektra blue]

hit the road, Jack. you're such a gangsta in paradise

they were great too

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Jumps are not working for Katya and Matey properly today but god their lifts are so beautiful and smooth, I love watching them

I think they did enough in the short and the free to beat Julia and Alexey for the gold but im not 100% sure.

Either way we are going to have a Pavel sweep

Moskaleva/Lozhkin are from Moskvina's School.

Whoever designed all those stuffies must have been on something wild!

 

[elektra blue]

gold! congrats!

 

[anonymoose_au]

OMG what's with those stuffies?!

 

[LadyB]

What a competition!

It breaks my heart to know that none of them will be at Junior Worlds

 

[Mariiiiskate]

really interested to see what will happen with Nastya and Vlad tho, will they split them up or have them not compete for a season and come back to national comps during 24-25 season? I feel like they will split.

This pairs trio would have swiped the podium par a disaster skate, im so sad for them especially Julia and Alexey sent this their last junior eligible season?

 

[Jumping_Bean]

You know what's kind of funny (or probably not so much for the athletes and coaches)?

In all three disciplines AoP had skaters/teams entered, the 4th place finishers were their athletes (Nikita, Tito and Nastya and Vlad).

That would be such a shame!!! When they brought them together they probably did not contemplate the change in age eligibility - or did that happen at the same time the Fed discussed that?
I could imagine that they perform in smaller comps orshows to bridge that year. Then again, athletes want to compete for real....
