Final Cup of Russia

I actually like the program for her..but...

Also you can totally tell how much of an effect COVID/pneumonia has on skaters..not just Aliona but Anna and Liza too. (Mostly in endurance..

Oh noooo don't cry!! You still have the FS and you're stunning <3 And there is always next year sweetie <3

Ok, the jumps are not really there yet, but her expressiveness still is. The 2A looked powerful. Maybe stamina problems, I hope it doesn't get worse in the free.

I actually think this program suits Aliona, but the 3F+2T is really going to hurt her score. So, will the rather low GOE on spins and lost stepseq levels.

If she has stamina problem, they should have made the combo the first jumping pass. She seems really slow in the Steps too, but could be my perception due to the music picking up and her... the opposite.

COVID has had a terrible effect.

Have a wonderful time with the ice dance, guys. I should get going

I can't see how will she'll manage the free skate...

 

[chasingneverland]

They tried to save her with PCS which international judges will too..

A 70 is like a slap on face. I'm crying.

What was the PCS score? I didn't see that.

 

[ruga]

It kills me how Russian judges are quite lenient on all aspects except step sequences

Also, learning 2 new programs wasn't a good idea for Aliona IMO. They should've gone with the same ones for this season, after all it's TES that matters the most for qualification, and get new ones for the next, maybe it would even be possible to get choreography normally then, not online.

 

[Jontor]

70.14 It's not so bad. But will she have the nerves for tomorrow, that's the question.

 

[chasingneverland]

I can't see how will she manage the free skate...

I thought the same thing about Anna at RusNats..and Liza too...

Being able to do everything is so much different than making it through an entire skate..

Liza Empress has one foot in the Worlds door.

How is overscoring her a slap on the face, anyway? They did what they could.

 

[Vemvane]

Oh, Aliona, don't cry, you did your best after a real doozy of a season. That 3F was huge, and she just couldn't control it on landing, and then she was out of steam for the StSq, but she still has her lovely poise and presence on the ice. Honestly, if she's keeping this programme for next season, I think it may be a good one, once she's had time to rebuild her stamina and polish the choreography.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

I can’t deal with Dance right now especially with S/E out. See you all tomorrow, I guess.

There was a big mistake but still
