Even the terrible ice can't stop Maria's reliability!

Solid skate, but had to eek out jumps in the 2nd half. Overall needs more oomph

FS: 67.77+63.87 = 131.64 (PB), 200.35 (PB), 2/11

143 for that skate? is this a joke?
I dunno what's more troublesome - this or presidential election.

Equally troublesome because this two things are almost of the same nature: Unqualified receiving undeserving rewards

 

[Watermelondrea]

THat wont' take the lead

 

[invisiblespiral]

Maria is lovely.

 

[OS]

Looks like Russia is going to have another change of the toddler guards soon!!

 

[Seruleane]

Wow, Maria Sotskova was just exquisite on the ice! Glad she held on to the jumps, and still looked very graceful. My favorite performance today...

 

[hippomoomin]

Maria's LP is s....o boring. She is capable of skating to something much better.

 

[cathlen]

Still not a fan of Maria, but kudos to her!

 

[Biellmann]

Seeing Sotskova right after Med, it's obvious how much more mature she is than Med

 

[ancientpeas]

Lovely but young skating. Definitely has a bright future I think.

 

[ioanablabla]

what puddle? I see you guys talking about it from time to time

 

[valerieally]

That was a pretty princess programme. Nothing exciting, but acceptable for her first GP showing.

 

[Crossover]

Maria is known for super consistency, but looked so tense. I would like to see a clean performance with the beautiful program.

 

[mirai4life]

She'll beat Wakaba. :/

 

[Leonardo]

I love her, but she's boring for sure lol

 

[twirlingblades]

Happy Maria skated clean! Hard to follow Med though (even with a fall).

 

[EdgeCall]

143 for a skate that was really rough for her? Wow. She seemed so off that I didn't think she would be so generously rewarded, even if it was enough for the win.

Compared to today's average she was still good enough. There is no absolute scoring in FS.

 

[Trewyn]

What do you mean by lately? In her entire senior career so far.

I meant in general, not just Evgenia.
120 used to be a top score, now it's very average.
