3rd Event of Russian Cup, 27-31 Oct, Sochi

[Spirals for Miles]

Trusova was gorgeous!

 

[Shayuki]

I thought that Trusova was fantastic here. I really look forward to seeing her FS, I hope she can skate it without falls!

 

[atsumiri]

Trusova wow. Such a talent and already has a big presence on the ice.
The speed at which she enters the jumps just fantastic!

 

[Yatagarasu]

Work but so worth it to take a peek at Trusova. Oh great stuff, she was excellent!

Standings after SP:
1 Trusova 70.19
2 Sinitsina 67.54 with bonus (but she would've been 2nd anyway)
3 Kadyrova 62.23

Protocols

Zamboni time. Then Sr Ladies

After 1st group, Konstantinova leads with 68.68, got a bonus but also fell at the start of her stsq so -1 deduction.

otopic: Google keeps translating Екатерина МАЦКО as Ekaterina MACHO )

Go Polina! :luv17:

 

[balabam]

Excuse me, what is this bonus you are talking about?

 

[lavenderblossom]

Polina skated beautifully, hit all the notes

Edit:

Excuse me, what is this bonus you are talking about?

There is a new bonus system, for example spin l4 with average +2 GOE gets +1 bonus. I don't know the details but you can see it on the results page and protocols. It's the 'B' mark.

Polya!!! Into 1st with 72.14 :hap57:

How much did she get?

 

[atsumiri]

Polina Tsurskaya 72.14 39.58 32.56 (no bonuses)

 

[balabam]

Ok, thank you very much. I only ask cause i didn't noticed it on GP or Challenger Series.

Fedichkina skated better than at JGP, a bit faster and with better flow (I didn't see her performance in Nice). 64.20 into 3rd. Gubanova next.

It's only for Russian domestic competitions not including Jr/Sr Nationals.

 

[lavenderblossom]

Gubanova also skated well! Into 3rd with 68.34.

 

[madison]

Gubanova is such a talent... great musicality and perfect harmony between movements and music.
Fedichkina has very nice choreo in the short.

 

[takunka]

Why so low scores for Gubanova? Her skating was the best so far

Not sure. I think she should be ahead of Konstantinova, who fell but somehow ended up with higher PCS, but we have to wait for the protocols.
Edit: she would have been ahead of Stasya but Stasya had a bonus.

 

[atsumiri]

tbh I think.... last season Gubanova skated better and had much better programs.
I still don't agree with Konstantinova's scores.

 

[Shayuki]

Konstantinova getting all those points despite an ugly fall. And destroying Gubanova in PCS as well. Just why? And what is the Bonus for?

She's swiftly becoming my most despised Russian skater.

This is true as well but Konstantinova is still well, well below.
