2020 Cup of Russia: Stage IV

[Azikin]

Hoping Nastya will have a good skate...

 

[Jontor]

OK. This ladies will be tough.

A lot at stake, and it might determine who goes to RusNats or not.

Especially Shulskaya is in a somewhat troublesome position. She needs to do better today.

I hope Anastasia T does well enough to go to Nationals

 

[EdgeCall]

I wish I had enough fingers to cross for all the ladies.

 

[Azikin]

I want that Angels of Plushenko mask.

Both Tarakanova and Tsibinova have the chance to compete again at Stage Five. And that competition looks to be easier (on paper) so that's good.

Shulskaya does not have that opportunity. She picked the two hardest Stages.

Me too

Which of these ladies can not compete as seniors internationally?

 

[EdgeCall]

I want that Angels of Plushenko mask.

That will probably be twenty dollars plus shipping.

 

[Jontor]

I think all of them can compete as seniors - if they get the chance.

 

[Skatefan15]

I’m taking this remake of Moonlight Sonata as good luck for Anastasia because she skated to this in 2018

Khromykh?

I think it is a basic step sequence. Not many points there...

I think all of them can except Maia (right?) since she’s only 14.

 

[Totentanz]

B is the lowest level I guess meaning 'basic' or 'basal'

 

[Jontor]

Khromykh?

Yeah, I forgot about Maiia. She's still a junior.

 

[snowflake]

Khromykh?

No. I checked. She's just 14.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Both of those music changes were kinda jarring... I liked the first piece.

 

[EdgeCall]

The first half of the music is very interesting, but you need a powerful and self confident skate to do it justice. The other half is just a mess of uncorrelated parts weirdly cut together, which apparently counts as fashionable these days.

Aliona’s dress looks nice (from what I can see of it). I love lavender dresses
