Maria's program is just fabulous

 

[Yatagarasu]

That was very, very nice. Considering her age, so much ahead of her.

Maria S. is lovely but she is a slow spinner. Her dress is very pretty.

 

[SarahSynchro]

Another fierce, talented Russian lady is now officially a senior. Room at the top just got even more tight.

 

[Plisskin]

This is my first time seeing Sotskova and boy does Russia have another one. I didn't connect with that program but she as a nice line, great jumps and SS.

 

[sunnystars]

and a clean program from Masha!

maybe a bit tentative but it's her first GP

 

[Ares]

Laurine, clean skate tech 36.14 - great performance - nice music: 'Experience' by Ludovico Einaudi.

66.61 in 3rd place.

Go Maria!

I remember someone before Laurine using Ludovice Einaudi music, I can't remember who & which piece though ... Can anyone help? I love that piece of music to which Laurine skated.

Another great skate. Just needs a bit more projection/power

SP: 38.56+30.15 = 68.71 (PB), 3/9

Masha's definitely striking for the senior lady look and presentation.

For me some energy was somewhat missing, but this will come....

 

[Biellmann]

A bird....

 

[MIM]

Sotskova is a nice skater and a good student with solid technical scores. But I think she will be greater when she finds her style.

She is graceful but does not seem to show that in her skating.

She probably needs some time to mature to be great like Anna.

 

[Crossover]

I think if she does less making fists, the program would look better because the concept seems like a butterfly. Nice GP debut.

 

[janav]

Lol, a pigeon in audience. B.ESP Simon: "Did he pay to get in?"

 

[Vili67]

I like Maria last season in junior world's.
But this program did not shake me:noshake:

 

[berry8]

I bet her on being number three Russian lady this season !
She lacks in presentation...
69-70 according to me

 

[randomfan]

Good skate from Maria! I say the score will be big.

 

[NAOTMAA]

If Maria can improve her spins I would bet she could surpass Evgenia at some point and possibly be Olympic champion in 2 years :cool14:

She's such a beautiful skater and has such presence :agree:

 

[sabinfire]

Wasn't what I was expecting, presentation-wise... still a really nice skate. She seems to be a reliable skater now.

 

[sunnystars]

pretty sure Buyanova will get someone to help her out with expressions next time
