2020 Cup of Russia: Stage II

[Edwin]

Mariya Paramonova, winner of 2019 Ice Age, Kids.

Youngest contestant among the girls at this Stage of the Cup.

In the final flight we will see Liza Berestovskaya, winner of 2018 Ice Age, Kids.

I like the jump as the last element. She did what she could, head up, girl

After all the discussions about 0/7 programs, I think a jump as the last element would be a justifiable candidate for a 10% bonus in any case.

Solid performance, Maria can overcome her free skate from Syzran.

Paramonova on fire redeemed herself from yesterday disaster well done, girl

 

[Edwin]

Wonderful dynamic, expressive and articulate step sequences with Mariya, and she didn't loose her footing today. Very well done.

No bonus however ...

 

[Totentanz]

How fast and strong that step sequence was Only level 2 indicates that rules and numbers don't always reflect quality.

i think her stsq deserved a bit more than level2 honestly

 

[Azikin]

Probably won't be enough for a medal..

the judges are being stingy with levels

 

[flanker]

OK, a point less (121 vs 122), but still nothing to be ashamed of.

 

[Totentanz]

This music belongs to Samodurova in my eyes

 

[elektra blue]

bourlesque as a figure skating program

 

[Edwin]

Kseniya Gushchina, Powerful girl, developing full speed, skating like a whirlwind, but loosing concentration a bit.

Deep tan still on her shoulders, so she must have had a nice holiday on some beach resort.

Nicking one of those ice cream dummies is now a game for the girls

 

[EdgeCall]

Quite a few annying mistakes, but the most important lesson this young lady has already taken to heart: You cannot skate to Aguilera without being on fire.

 

[elektra blue]

Paramanova's eyebrows speak an entire language of their own.

honestly i didn't pay attention to that

 

[katymay]

Probably won't be enough for a medal..

Hope you are wrong. That was some lights out skating, and I hope to see her at Russian natls.

 

[elektra blue]

off to Panin memorial while the Zamboni is on, i couldn't possibly miss little Kutovoi

Four skaters would have to bomb to be possible for Maria to get on the podium .

 

[Edwin]

Paramonova I have seen struggling all past season, but is now off to a good start, confident, but still not 100% reliable in her new programs. Both her programs are real gems, her short program even a masterpiece IMO.

This is Mariya's second start so she is finished with the Cup.

She'll probably qualify, a 4th place in Sizran and most likely a top 6 finish in Moscow.

Now, if FFKKR published and maintained a ranking list for us to see, instead of each of us having to use a spreadsheet ...

That program would be the best in the US so far this year. smh. (Amongst the seniors in the US)
