2017 GP Rostelecom Cup Ladies SP

Good luck to all the ladies but I'm kinda wishing extra happy thoughts for Mariah. I'm sure her Guinea Pig would give her an extra nose snuggle tonight if he could. :pray:

Planned program content for Rostelecom is available from the ISU site.

Look in Doris' OP for the link to "ISU Event Web Page."

The "For Media" section on the right side of the ISU Event Web Page has the link to PDFs for "Planned Program Entries."


ETA: p.s. Go, Mirai :yay:.
 
What you say surprises me - okay there are some blips but the casting is superb (maybe with exception of Anatol & Helen) and the plot kept close to the book. I don't know I really enjoy it. The ball scene is a visual feast. Natasha, Andre, Pierre, Marya and Sonya are exactly as I had imagined them reading the book. Mind you when I watched it first time I didn't like it at all as I was picking on inaccuracies etc but second time I liked it better , third I loved it and now on my 4th 'round' i am mad about it ha ha... It is the first Western adaptation of Russian classic I really enjoy. The ball scene:

Please don't tell me the Russians like that joke of Anna Karenina with Keira Knightley?!

My russian friends basically have the following consensus. Anna Karenina was pretty good, because it was clearly and openly a theatrical thing. Now, while war and peace was allegedly intended to be same style, it looks kinda cheap and careless (no money for proper costumes, no time or interest to research russian fashion, behaviour, and all the tiny details) - basically they think that the people who made the series thought "russia is far away, so people wont know".
Most of my friends pointed out as bad anything related to Helen, they also didnt like the ball scene (and most scenes with Natasha, because another bad casting decision - its not about hair colour imho, she just looks very modern somehow, not as a 1800 and something woman - people even made memes with her pics and quotes that a modern day young woman would say. Overall, i feel that she didnt capture the character essence at all, and looks like a random and a bit frivolous girls that exchanges boyfriends happily and blabla), the senior Bolkonsky... Also, they didnt like the ending.
Overall, imho, the series fails to display some of the character growth, and also lacks one of the most important scenes from the book (when pierre discovers his inner freedom while imprisoned).
 
I second this!

It's also kinda interesting that probably one of the only ladies who could theoretically challenge Evgenia is Carolina, if she suddenly got her Sochi 2014 jumps back. She seems to be the only one that the judges might be willing to give a higher component score to. Not bad for 30 years old!

I third this! [emoji23] I read Rocket Skating’s practice notes and Mirai was consistent on her 3A!

Edit: Rocker Skating, not Rocket Skating.
 
Thanks for all your hard work, Doris! ( I just copy and paste your starting order into a word doc, make all my favorites double or triple the font size and make them bold and red and print it out! ;)
 
So Evgenia will skate after Mirai, and skate to the same music. This gives me a bad feeling for Evgenia.
 
Please don't tell me the Russians like that joke of Anna Karenina with Keira Knightley?!

As a Russian I can tell you that all the Hollywood interpretation of Russian culture make me laugh :laugh: And Anna Karenina, with the exception of Jude Law who is awesome, is definitely not the movie I would recommend, I'd say go and read the book instead. But I have nothing against Evgenia's program as this soundtrack is quite a good choice for figure skating, it's a well known story, the music seems comfortable to skate to, and most important, she obviously enjoys it.

So Evgenia will skate after Mirai, and skate to the same music. This gives me a bad feeling for Evgenia.

IMO, she will get even bigger marks on contrast if she's clean as Mirai is not the most artistic (or consistent) skater by any means
 
There's absolutely no way she's within 5 points of Medvedeva if both skate clean. Just no way.

I know. I assume that unrealistic scenario in which the scales fall from their eyes. :laugh: More likely is even as much as 10 points.

what i expect : Med getting 80 in the SP and Higuchi around 72-73 so an 8 points difference. Then in the Free around 15 points difference.
 
Trying to get all of my things done so I can watch... I don't think it will work, though.
 
During the men's short program, my recently new iMac timed out frequently (Safari can't open page) before I could get a reply posted or even go to another section or page of the forum/thread. At that time, there were about 1700 people in the room; only about 300 were members; the other 1400 were guests. Are guests able to post replies, etc.? Never had this problem before so trying to figure out what happened.
I finally, in frustration, just exited and watched the competition.
 
After a year of dissertation writing ( :hpull: ), I'm so happy to be able to watch figure skating again. Good luck to the ladies! What an awesome lineup. :popcorn:
 
For months I am look forward to starting of GP series. Finally, I am going to watch ladies. Good luck for everbody.
