2020 Cup of Russia: Stage III

[LadyB]

I don’t think Scherbakova is in any danger to lose the support of her team. She is the most appealing package overall. I understand that Usacheva is now Kostornaya 2.0 without the 3A, but Scherbakova has lots and lots and lots of beautiful qualities. One doubled jump is not going to put her down.

I so hope you’re right, it would be a first!

I’m not talking about mistakes at all!
I just believe that when you’re not 100pc perfect, Eteri & Co won’t give you the the time and attention you need, provided there is at least one (or usually several) youngsters lined up who can easily take your place, That happened the last few years. Everyone is easily replaceable.
Nevertheless, I do admire Team T’s work.

There is hardly any avidence for such thesis, though many counterevidence. Daria was not perfect at numerous events last season and was far from perfect at the test skates. Still got enough attention to become nearly flawless at the junior nationals and junior worlds and now at the Cup stages. We can name Alina, in the past Sasha and Aliona (and Anna herself) also had their weaker moments and were perfect the next time. That's just strange belief.

One more way the pandemic isn't helping: Tiffany and Jonathan were supposed to get a new FD from Christopher Dean. Like, I know they enjoy their Survivor FD but it's honestly bad...

freezing look

 

[Ichatdelune]

Wait, are we getting two Experience programs today? (sigh)

 

[Hyena]

I went back and watched Kolyada and Aliev's performances from yesterday, since I wasn't able to watch live. I highly recommend both as a palette cleanser

 

[Artemisa]

Even with a little faults ... beautiful dress and can be a good program

 

[lariko]

Gosh, I have gym again when men skate. I need to do math better!

Einaudi's music is beautiful but i'm getting tired of it

 

[lariko]

Dasha is apparently close to 3A

Well, once she jumps it, she will be more like Kostornaya

Yeah, you can't expect from a skater to be perfect all the time. I think every coach knows that

 

[elektra blue]

is Mironova and elf? a forest fairy?

 

[ancientpeas]

Holy Cow!! V.O. violation.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Voiceover Sweet Dreams... No, just no.

Every coach probably, but some fans tend to forget that
Now seriously, people are too spoiled by many close-to-perfect performances that they truly overestimate any mistake then, because they truly forget how hard it in fact is to make the skate look like it's just walk in the park.

 

[ancientpeas]

Do you see what you have wrought, P/C?


ALSO...this music is seriously creepy and I can't imagine training to it every day.

 

[Artemisa]

Daria stands well enough on her own qualities. I don't think this comparison flatters her at all.

It flatters ... and yes she have her own qualities but she is like kostornaia she skates very beautiful and good jumps and don't have a 4 .

 

[elektra blue]

more important question: did Mironova manage to take Ustenko's soul?

 

[Ichatdelune]

@elektra blue , I don't want to make your head explode, but Gran Premio Italia is live right now, as well. (but alas my sweet Cookie, Ekaterina Kurakova, was not able to sneak onto the entry list, despite the fact that she was training in Egna this week.)

Elektra must regain her saintly powers and be at two places at once, she can't miss her sons
