2020 Cup of Russia: Stage III

[3T3T]

A very generous score for Anna. I would have her 3rd. Even with the spin bonus she shouldn’t be getting 77+. Liza T must be bummed.

 

[lariko]

And there you have it, the clean deadpan mediocrity moves into the lead. Lol.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Nugumanova is quite pleasant to watch, not that much of a jumper but she is a great spinner

 

[flanker]

In line with the fluctuation at Team Tutberidze, poor Anna is on her way out. Focus on the young pretenders! I love her, though!

Oh, c'mon, even masters are allowed to do a mistake.

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Why are they propping Anna up? So unfair to the other skaters.

She is a two time (current) national champion, what kind of treatment would you expect for a skater with that title

 

[yume]

Those girls, always so sad when "not perfect enough"...

Because they know they know that each program counts. And that they will be written finished for a mistake.

Yeah...I mean the prefectionism must help them train hard and fight, but sometimes it makes me sad. They're so talented and shouldn't feel so bad over a small mistake or even a big one.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Okay wake me up when it’s time for the Men, sorry Dancers but I need a rest.

 

[ancientpeas]

Isn't the score so high because of the spins and footwork? Liza got hit on spins and footwork and Anna would have gotten the bonuses.

 

[elektra blue]

we don't need to change stream, right?

 

[Novalis]

Dasha wins short!

 

[ancientpeas]

I thought Daria was the best of skaters who I saw. I was happy for Liza landing the 3A. Anna's SP doesn't do much for me but she is very talented.

Anna seems like a lovely girl, and she's obviously a hardworker. I wonder why. she is still doing 3lz3lo in the SP? She hasn't fully rotated it yet this year (despite what the protocols say). I would think a 3Lz3T would be a safer bet.

Honestly, I prefer Daria's skating to Anna's... just because her SS are so much better. But, I don't think anyone should give up at 16. Anna has a fighting spirit.

 

[AlimaAsh]

A bit of an offhanded comment, but I like Liza Nugumanova’s voice. It’s cute. She was talking about her skate and commenting on every jump on the replay I think, it was quite wholesome and funny. I like her

Of course, somehow people tend to forget that other elements matter (even when some were complaining before that jumps matter too much ). Also components, components, components.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Well Liza T isn't too far behind!

Do you think she might try a quad in FS though? I understand it's not ready, but she might feel like she needs it.

Or maybe not until Nats...

 

[TripleAxelQueens3]

Wow I loved Liza's performance a lot! I never care about the jumps for her skating because I know most of the triples are UR anyways. But the performance! So amazing! I really like her SP.

 

[yume]

Why should Tuktik be ahead of Shcherby with botched spins, stsq, URed jumps and not better interpreation, SS or TR?

 

[Edwin]

#TeamTutberidzeForProgress in the lead, but Anna not quite happy with herself. Her costume though, blue on blue, so difficult to get right.

Very nice competition again.

But her programs are always very similar...only one type of ballerina style! She could show something new...
