2020-21 Russian Nationals: Ladies' Short Program

[EdgeCall]

Too bad for the fall, but it's a demanding program and Maria pulls it off over the full distance quite well.

Ahh the loop, but other then that it was a really good performance

I liked Sasha's green dress more.

eta: The light purple and white dress would be pretty, but I don't like the open side and it just doesn't look very Sasha, but this program in general is a new style for her.

 

[Fluture]

Sasha time! Come on.

It’s almost 11:15 am here and I’ve only slept in two two hour shifts I can’t handle bad covers of You Raise Me Up.

9:18 here and I've been alternating between being awake and not haha.

Yes, Liza clearly should do backflip into 3Lz, cartwheel into 3A and god knows what else into her combo to get the scores she deserves gosh... not only is she a hard worker, a very resilient girl, learnt a quad in her 20s, has better costumes now, and both her SS and her spin positions improved drastically, she still gets the trash talk as if she hasn't improved at all and she never does enough... smh. She may not be everybody's taste but to say she has weak skills or doesn't perform enough is just plain wrong.

Anyway, I keep my fingers crossed for Liza and Sasha, go and SLAY ladies!

Now go Sasha!

I do think they’ve been working on Trusova’s skating skills, I can see some improvement.

I think she did really well with the more lyrical piece here.
