Still a terrific program, albeit not totally up to their usual standards.
Agree, it so great to see such a clean, synchornized SBS 3SI've never saw better side by side 3S. Great stuff
I think the program is wonderful. But they need to skate it clean, and tbh for me the bad audio in the stream takes away from the experience as well.This program really feels sleepy after M/G.
Let’s not count out Tarasova/Morosov, shall we?I am really into this Mishina/Galliamov and Boikova/Kozlovskii rivalry that's developing.
I agree, these two pairs make for a very interesting rivalry and I think they can push each other to new heights. Hopefully it doesn't create too much friction that they are sharing the same coach.I am really into this Mishina/Galliamov and Boikova/Kozlovskii rivalry that's developing.
Yes. The scores would be practically the same without itWas there a deduction because they went over their time limit?
Wearing a mask is as much, maybe more, about protecting others, not just yourself. Because anyone can be asymptomatic with covid, and not realize they're endangering others, and the molecules go into the air everyone around breathes. Having said that, I'm sad and angry that the US president is more responsible than anyone else for spreading the misconception that wearing a mask is about personal bravery.Moskvina can't be bothered with the mask lol. She survived WW2, communism and fall thereof, why would she be afraid of some COVID?
At this point I am worried with that throw flip, they took out the cartwheel entry because of the landing issues and another stumble... And I know they were running a bit late but I wish they'd done the illusion spin exit for their SBS spins
They got most of their elements out ok (SBS a problem for sure) but I don't think the choreography and expression was cirque-esque. I found their lifts and entries into the lifts very ho hum. I actually preferred the Hungarians lift entries and overall artistry. The Hungarians had some technical problems but I would have put them ahead in artistry and yet they were behind by 3.5 points with a 9 point difference overall.good first outing in seniors! combo spins are everyone's nemesis today
It's not just Moskvina not covering her nose. Several coaches are only half wearing their masks. If you don't wear your mask properly then there is no point in wearing the mask.Wearing a mask is as much, maybe more, about protecting others, not just yourself.

And ... the great Tamara Moskvina survived the horrific St. Petersburg siege during WWII, when so many starved. I can never forget that about her, and wonder also if her growth was stunted as a result, since she was a child at the time.
I'm a great admirer of Moskvina, don't get me wrong. But it makes me cringe when I see anyone leaving their noses uncovered ... as though they think they're not going to be breathing through their noses (and spreading molecules).
We agree completely! In fact, I'd said something in my post about a number of coaches not covering their noses, but I took that part out because I didn't want it to sound like I was singling out the Russian coaches. On a less serious (and to me, funny) note, it's actually not a very flattering look to wear a mask underneath the nose. Prime example: Plushenko.It's not just Moskvina not covering her nose. Several coaches are only half wearing their masks. If you don't wear your mask properly then there is no point in wearing the mask.
I know it wasn't done in sync with matching postures, but the illusion spin itself fit the ending crescendo of the music. I want it to be included because when it's done right I think it's going to be glorious. And their illusion spin itself isn't too bad when compared to what the men are doing (that's why I want the trend to die with the men first), I don't expect gymnastics level of illusion spins in figure skating in the first place.That illusion exit was bad, why would you want them to include it? It was out of sync, and the posture don't match. Weren't you championing for bad illusion spins to die during men's?
Okay so I need a consensus on this, how do we feel about Apollinaria Panfilova's costume?
you know me, honey, what do you think i'm thinking?
