Final Cup of Russia

[LadyB]

Why isn't Annabelle's last name Morozova? Or is the -a kinda optional?

Her mum is French (I think) and she grew up outside of Russia, so she never used it (some Russian fan told me that once).

ah! also men were a mess and ladies a drama, so nothing out of the ordinary

 

[Seven Sisters]

And the rest of the day, are any of my favorites (Aliev, Tuktamysheva, Daria/Denis) still alive?
is the stream re-windable, anyone know?

 

[Shayuki]

Can somebody post the standings after the SP?

Who got underscored among the ladies and overscored?

Overscored: Kostornaya, Khromykh
Underscored: Nugumanova, Frolova

I have actually come around and enjoy the hot mess men event. It sparks more joy than the overwrought drama of ladies event.

Yes, youtube stream is very rewindable.

Aliev 1A*, but otherwise okay. Tukt turned out her 3A as usual. Daria/Denis.... sadly fell on the throw and are 10 points behind M/G.

Edit: actually Aliev is not fine, he's in 9th place. I thought the skate was okay apart from the 1A, but protocols look worse. Sorry.

Thanks.Nugu is always lowballed. Her coach needs to be more vocal.

What happened to Sophia since she won Europeans 2 years ago?

Maia has 2 quads. If she starts landing them watch out.

 

[elektra blue]

In my early years as a figure skating fan I only watched men and pairs (and Caro Kostner). With the advent of the Russian ladies (and here I mean starting with the early Liza Tuktik senior seasons) I got more into ladies' skating, but I feel myself gradually shifting back to men and pairs again. The turnover in the ladies is just to fast nowadays, it's hard to build an emotional connection. That might sound cheesy, but IMO figure skating as something that transcends sport and artistry requires a certain emotional involvement from the viewer. If the complete ladies field changes every two years, that's just not possible anymore.

 

[DSQ]

Sorry to be tiresome but do you know where I can find the results in English?

 

[Jeanie19]

I hate to see Aliona cry

I hope Aliona.has her redemption skate tomorrow.

Indeed, Caroline Douarin, her mother is French ! She is a former skater too ! Annabelle was born and grew up in the US and represented US, then France in single and now Russia with Bagin !
And you know what ! Tatiana Tarasova and Alexei Yagudin are her godparents ! Stunning !
