Morning all, it's 11.20 here and I just crawled out of bed. The pubs are open again, I had to make the most of it....

Healthy skates to all skaters who are healthy!

Maybe they can't have them because of COVID?

either that or Ilya took them all away the last time he had the chance

After all the excitement of stage 4 I think this will be a little anticlimactic. The fields are small. Looking forward to both Pairs and hopefully Tarakanova and Tsibinova qualifying for Nationals.I’ll b einterested to see the twins skate. For a minute I thought Panenkova had returned but its actually Daria Parinova.

Wishing all the skaters that had to withdraw a speedy recovery. It’s been great to have Russian skating to watch but not at the expense of the skaters health. I’m glad this competition is spectator free. I hope the coaches have good mask etiquette this time, their current approach sets such a bad example.

For a moment I thought Zhenya Med was competing in Juniors , but it is Elizaveta Medvedeva of Moscow.

Hey that's weird the ice still has the Rostelecom Cup logo on it...I thought they'd replace it after the event.

Those plaid suspenders are awesome.

Well the Cup of Russia is also sponsored by Rostelekom, so I guess it doesn't matter.

mixing patterns is a fashion nono, but somebody forgot to tell Kapustin
