2020-21 Russian Nationals: Pairs' Short Program

[Lamente Ariane]

If Tarasova and Morozov go clean they could grab that lead... (they’re here, right?)

 

[LadyB]

Poor lad

 

[Ichatdelune]

They seemed off throughout this today—that program was dazzling at Rostelecom

It definitely was off after that salchow disaster, they're so much better than that

There must have been some wrinkle in the way of his blade...
Sasha's face is disappointment embodied.

AND Tarasova/Morozov

True!

santa is coming to town and is name is Galliamov

That is definitely possible and I wouldn't be mad about it even as a raging B/K fan with M/G as second faves

Mishina is so cute and positive, isn't she? What a great partner she must be!

 

[Artemisa]

they got a Christmas present in that score

She's a great partner for sure, not only is she supportive but she was the one getting the throws done when Sasha Galliamov was brand-new to pairs and couldn't throw her properly. But then it's him that cheered up Nastya at last year's RusNats when she was upset about her mistake in the SP, they're a good pair in general.

However it's only four points difference. They are still in the flight United Medals 21.

 

[Skatesocs]

Still love P/R the most. I wish they'll get a better set of programs next season. They can be on par with the two top Chinese pairs - I know the judges say B/K are already there, but I don't agree. P/R really could be though.

ETA: That 2A has TERRIBLE technique, but it looks interesting, especially from him.

May they go forth and seize the opportunity to lay down a truly epic SP, worthy of their talents.
No offense to anyone here, but I’m so sick of folks just dismissing them, like they’re all washed up or something.

And meanwhile... am I being an overly worried fan or did Mitya Kozlovskii seem really, really out of breath? If he hasn't fully recovered from covid I'm going to go insane

He certainly did not look like his typically effervescent self today.

Both interviews were sad, without any attempts to defend themselves. Alexandra said it was not difficult (question of the interviewer), just dirty, and she understood the technical mistake they made. Dmitry said they were far from perfect, ice was slippery and they would have to work more.
Also Sasha G. took the responsibility for his mistake, he did not know how it could have happened.

 

[Tyranid]

Okay, Panfilova & lifter (sorry, she eclipses him ) REALLY need to get their triples going. They will then have the potential to be a top world pair. They still have so much time, it is their debut sr. season so I've got hope. Make it happen, Trinity!

Btw her Th3F rideout was .

Also, M/G making the FS interesting with the 3S pop.

I've read too much reports about the lasting effects of covid on your lungs. I'm praying to every deity available that isn't the case

 

[LadyB]

My Christmas present: An entire Mozer Group, led by T/M!!!!!! Vovan, you're looking great!!!
