2018 Russian Junior Nationals Ladies SP

[EdgeCall]

the fuss is about the fact that fed perceives her as a new Kostner, giving high domestic scores without any decent international performances

Obviously not today.

Konstantinova also missed an element in the short program at the Russian Nationals and ended on fourth :eeking:

what did she missed??

Sofia Moroz (meltdown, 52,08)

 

[starla16]

She also had pretty shallow edges on said step sequence.

You know, any other skater who skates like her and with her consistency, at her age would be contemplating retirement after some pity challenger competition spots, if that. And here we have this lady who never skates clean yet constantly gets rewarded who knows why or for what. It's so unfair to everyone else who had to work hard to reach their consistency.

I see Konstantinova at par with Fedichkina, so I don't think she is that special for the big marks she is getting nationally.

Here we go Sasha!!

 

[alvina9894]

what did she missed??

She doubled her flip. Wait until you see her 74PCS in the free.

 

[skatenewbie]

Obviously not today.

she got high score lol. 66 with no combo and 33 PCS for that was outrageous tbh

Of course not. How could she be special if she's still in juniors?

Her special talent is somehow getting the judges to overscore her time after time despite never skating clean. It's truly puzzling considering how many actually talented ladies who are actually capable of skating clean programs Russia has.

Especially when most of the time, these overscored skaters at least have some international accomplishments while she's a notorious choker in international competitions.

trusova is just amazing !

Highest PCS of the day so far. Let's see if Sasha surpasses that.

 

[lavenderblossom]

Trusova hung on to that 3Lz but clean!

 

[starla16]

I think we have a new leader

 

[Shayuki]

Trusova's 3Lz was so not-close.

I feel like we're going to see a clean quad in the FS, she's looking really good.

 

[Grin]

Trusova not so glorious on the 3Lz, +5 PCS for big spender music at the age of 13, 74.25

 

[lavenderblossom]

74.25, wow.

 

[xeyra]

Wow, it's been a long time since I've listened to this song.

 

[alvina9894]

Well-deserved 74 Sasha!

 

[madison]

So Konstantinova will end with the highest PCS .

 

[Spirals for Miles]

Just came back and saw that Gubanova was in 2nd.
Goodbye, I can't do life right now...

 

[xeyra]

Ah yeah, Stasya still has the better PCS of the day. Sasha got 32.31.
