2023 Russian Nationals Women's Short Program

[YuBluByMe]

If you’re going to skate to Janet Jackson, then the choreography needs to reflect that.

 

[anonymoose_au]

That was a weird combo of songs. But Maria had fun

I'm sleepy but nervous I could never skate last!

the last group is delivering

 

[Skatelife]

Veronika? But this is her second nationals.

I thought it was her first senior national

 

[anonymoose_au]

Hold me...

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

I had to do a double-take there. At first glance, Maria's costume looked so much like my high school's uniform!

Well, we had a tie and blazer, and didn't have braces or sparklies. But, the colours of the blouse and skirt are right.

Awww. She looks so happy.

But then the scores came up. And her face dropped.

Into 13th. But less than a point behind 10th position.

She was 10th. Had a < in the SP, and IIRC her FS was clean.

 

[Pairluv]

Well that answers the question. Going to be a very interesting FS.

 

[EdgeCall]

Random fall?! What a pity.

 

[elektra blue]

unfortunate mistake aside Muraveva delivered too

 

[Jontor]

Yes! Sofia is in the game!

But was that a fall in the step seq??

 

[YuBluByMe]

Yay Muravieva! Other than the messup on the step sequence, that was a solid way to end this competition. I don’t like the program (I like the free better), but she does what she can with it. That was also the best 3A she landed all season.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Oh nooooo the slide!!!

I don't think she'll be in 3rd

Oh well maybe less pressure.

And I just realised all my predictions have gone to heck with Sasha T withdrawing do'h!

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Will her stumble in the Step Sequence be counted as a fall?

Probably should be, but might not be, depending on the goodwill of the judges.

Yep, was counted as a fall... Lost her a good 3-4 points too.

I think it will. She completely lost balance.

 

[elektra blue]

into 3rd anyway

 

[Skatelife]

I have a soft spot for Sofía, because I
Remember her all brave alone in a Jr nationals

 

[elektra blue]

time to go! see you tomorrow! love you all

 

[Jontor]

I could never skate last!

Me neither. I could never skate. Period.
