Final Cup of Russia

[lariko]

I just woke up and I was sooo scared I missed the ladies..but i can't yet have I?? Can someone tell me what I missed??? And whyyyy is JT on my timeline haha.

Semenenko won the best of the mixed lot, and the pairs placed as predicted.

Men and Pairs now done

Is it safe to watch??? Without being too nervous? (The men especially..)

I love Russian Ladies comps, to me they are (apart from the few minutes when Trusova, Shcherbaova and Tuktik skate). Only Liza here, so I can relax and concentrate on her.

I don't know..I get VERY nervous when Sasha and Anna skate too...(much more than Liza in fact). They have harder programs and sooo much pressure..

How old is Yasmina? Ivan is rather short for a pairs guy.

You tell that Cong Han!

The key to surviving Russian ladies events unscathed is in not looking at the scores and just enjoying the beauty.

same here, ladies is my least favourite discipline and i've not favourite in this particular side of the world. but it's fans are inevitable

Might need something stronger than an umbrella. Maybe a force field?

you're right

Feel a bit bad for Pavlyuchenko/Khodykin for missing out on Worlds. But they are the number 4 in Russia right now. There's no escaping that.

but there is still the Olympics and they're still pretty young..pairs teams tend to have longer careers..

Wiki says Kadyrova is 16, it’s Bal’chenko’s age that aged them out of juniors right out of the gates.

... please don't tell me this is A Thing

 

[EdgeCall]

I wonder what P/K think now. Maybe "You can keep the medal and the diploma - just give us the ticket!"

 

[elektra blue]

... please don't tell me this is A Thing

it just means that i and @LadyB find them handsome, nothing more, nothing less

 

[lariko]

Grats to Kadyrova/Bal’chenko for such an auspicious start and the old favs!

The medal presenter lacks attention to details. Look at the backwards medals and coiled ribbon.

 

[Seven Sisters]

Yeah, big round of applause for our pairs medallists!

I like that the winning coach also gets to appear on the podium to receive honors!

 

[elektra blue]

it must be granny day in Russia

 

[lariko]

Aww, Mishina giving her medal to the coach
