A really lovely skate from Maria A, she got a little shaky towards the end but held on for a new PB. I miss the shirt but the new costume is nice. Was she a little underscored on PCS? I would score her highly on PE, CH & IN. Hopefully she stays on the podium. Who was the guy with her in the K&C?

Another great skate from Evgenia, bar the fall on the flip. I wonder will she make the Russian team for Euro/Worlds this year? Could to see Anna P bounce back.

i also wonder who the guy with Maria A was in the K&C? is she not with Rukavitsin anymore?

Of course she is still with Rukavitsin who is with Fedichkina. Molotov is the choreographer/coach under Rukavitsin. I believe he is a former ice dancer that helps with skating skills in the group among other things.

3. Maria ARTEMIEVA 177.21 (FS: 56.72 TES + 59.28 PCS = 116.00)

odd costume.

 

[Mrs. P]

Not looking good for Gaby to move up now. With Anna making a big jump Gaby will probably lose a couple spots.

Which probably means that Gaby will do just fine.

Well I will say, no matter what, Joshi is always quite fun to watch!

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Nice job by Joshi! She's a bit unrefined, but there's something I really like about her. She seems to genuinely love being out there on the ice.

:thumbsup: Yes I actually think that's a huge part of her appeal- she seems to actually love skating!

 

[NaVi]

Going to be interesting to see Helgesson'sscores... I will laugh if Medvedeva loses by less than a point considering her time violation and they missed putting her SP combo in the bonus.

----

Edit... eh, not a very big score for Helgesson... and I thought she did better than Artimieva.

101 ???

Did Joshi have something invalidated? I don't think her SS are great, but I'm surprised the TES is so low.

 

[dorispulaski]

Anna will make the podium!

Great comeback!

 

[Sackie]

Joshi's scores is strange. In the short program she had the highest PCs here it dropped, even thought she had a good skate.

 

[tulosai]

Well I think it's safe to say we have our first Russian ladies podium sweep of the season...

 

[SaraM]

i guess a bunch of Joshis jumps got UR'ed.. but still that was a low score for that program

yees....

 

[Dr. Jenn]

A bit of a rough skate for Gabby... She's still a bit rough around the edges for me. At the moment, I would definitely see her as the third-ranked Canadian.

Also, I would like to see her branch out to another style of program...
