Panin-Kolomenkin Memorial, 13-16 October 2020

Mariya soundly beaten by Sof'ya Vazhnova: 73.67 (31.65+7.50+31.52), Sof'ya cleverly earned herself 3 Bonus marks !
 
Aaaand the stream died on me! How impolite!

I wonder why these guys aren't using Youtube, I know they have an account and I've seen them use it!
 
Anastastia Makarova had a fun program! Complete with a flapper dress. :biggrin:

OMG...they're playing Bolero over the highlights, with lyrics! I don't remember hearing lyrics before...I'm kinda into it to be honest.
 
Just came and hear. Well, if there's a version of a Bolero I don't like, it's this one...
Well it was super different you have to admit that! I wonder why some competitions play different music over the highlights whilst others replay the song the skater skated to. Does it have to do with rights?

The senior ladies are up next, I didn't realise Rina Ryabova was here! Apparently she choreographed her new free program, I'm intrigued and hope to see it! (Although I've been going to bed way too lae recently so I might have to miss her :( )
 
good afternoon everyone! missed me? :LOL:
I did! Although I only saw the last group of ladies, so I haven't been here too long :laugh:

The highlight replay music is pretty funny - there was "I Cast a Spell on You" and "I'll Take Care of You" and some other well known songs of figure skating. Just in case we missed them I guess! :laugh2:
 
I also saw Liza N is here, I though she had broken her leg? Or was that a mistranslation? Either way good to see her back on the ice.
 
to think she'll be probably end up last year but she could be the national champion in many countries in old and new world
It's interesting indeed. Is it purely due to the accessibility of ice rinks in Russia do you think? I know there's only about 20 ice rinks in Aussie land, so access is limited indeed! I guess having so many champions lately also helps (didn't lots of little girls get inspired by Yulia L at Sochi for example).

Oh dear fall.

probably a mix of both things. Carolina gave some popularity to the sport here in italy but i don't see crowd of little girls fighting for internarional gold, but i guess it's also because we have just a few rinks in the north of the country and our school and sport system is totally different.
 
I'm not confident that I have the nerves for this. Maybe I should just watch solo dance.
Oh? Do you have a favourite completing? That's always nerve wracking!

I always feel bad when a skater's all by themselves in the KnC.
 
Ha ha sometimes these replay songs...

I'm holding out a bit for one that's really incongruous, like the skater did "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" and they play "Paint It Black" :laugh2:

Sufficient number of rinks helps, certainly, but look at our Sáblíková. There is no permanent long track arena in the Czech Republic (and several attempts to build one always ended with the lack of financing) and still she belongs among the GOAT in heer sport. Of course she is an exceptional talent, but the talent itself is not enough. She traind where it was possible, normal ice rinks (with limited time), frozen lakes, only later she was able to train abroad with professional background. It's the commitment to the sport as well as the talent and opportunities.
