Anna landed her 4F which is worth more than Maiia's 4Ts. (In fact, Anna's opening two elements - 4F and 3F+3T - are worth .20 more than Maiia's opening two quads/elements - 4T+2T and 4T.) On top of that Maiia underrotated her 3Lo and got a level 2 step sequence (and had kinda an interesting 3Lz). Plus Anna's PCS are better.

Just for info. This formulation does not come from me, but from a Russian judge. Unfortunately, I hadn't made a note of the name, but the picture of the judge judging Anna through his water-filled eyes stuck in my memory.
I know that. I perfectly remember toxic people who immediately started making their toxic comments about this in their small Internet corners.

Can anyone translate what Sofia is saying? I feel so bad for her she looks so sad and I dont want to see her crying. Poor girl she really tried her best

I tried automatic translation to English but it didn't make much sense. It said something that Maiia was training from the seventh sweat, and Sofia heard the octopus ringing...

She said that her Mom watched Sofia's perfomance LIVE for the first time. (means short program). Sofia was ashamed perhaps, that's why she's crying.
After bad short program Sofia didn't want to perform in the FP, but Mom supported her by phone with words (you're not a robot and etc
) And thanked her Mom for the support.

According to Kogan, because IDF will take place in a bubble Russian figure skaters won't be forced to quarantine:

Anya deserved to win in Italy right?
She may have a problem beating KV and sasha and Liza but that remains to be seen
I gather being in the minority with your opinion about her quad does not dissuade you.
The judge's see Anya at ice level you watch on TV or the Internet that makes a big difference.
It's too bad France is still having issues and they have to be in a bubble. Does that mean no fans?

F‘n Anna.
In a sport of numbers, decimals, tenths, etc, you have no way to measure heart and guts and a champion mentality.
Even if you could, that instrument would melt down way before it was able to calculate those for Anna anyway.
Anna is watching what is going on with her teammates and that competitive fire is raging.

It might not mean no fans. For example, Skate Canada was held in a bubble for the athletes, but not the fans. If you left the bubble, you could not go back into the bubble which included all of the areas where the skaters/coaches were. When Rafael left the SC bubble, he could still attend the event as a spectator, but he couldn’t go into any of the athlete areas.

I'm watching ATP Paris Masters and it's a full house. Unvaccinated players are also playing. The atmosphere has come back to pre Covid levels. I fail to see why France couldn't do the same to a figure skating tournament. I guess the government there have no incentive because they consider figure skating as a fringe sport. It's a shame really.

It's ironic, how people in Western countries were OK with Serena Williams winning everything (or almost everything) during many years. And now some other people in Western countries are not happy with Russian skaters winning everything. One can easily see it on this board. My biggest concern is about introducing measures that have nothing to do with fair play: ban the quads, increase the senior age to 20 years, introduce "artistic" programs, keep Russian skaters off competitions, etc.

I think that event after event it is becoming transparent that Daria and Aliona have very little chances of going to Olimpics.
I know you guys are saying that Aliona is almost back at her best but being honest, no she is not. And she is not going to regain her confidence and start jumping 3×3A out of nowhere. I don't believe that anymore.
And Daria is a beautiful skater, but she is just simply missing some guns. Also 3x3A would help but I don't see it happening for her either.
Maias chances shrinked a little as well, yes she has a 4T. But 4T isn't worth much more points than a 3A. She evolved artistically for sure tho and I think that if she skates clean, she could take Tuktik down.
But main contenters are obviously Anna Kamila Sasha and Liza.
Being realistic I think Liza might not make the team again, hoping that they will give her a worlds spot instead...
Also it is still early in the season and everything can happen those are just predictions.

She’s not exactly there of course, but she’s getting quite a bit closer and has come a long way from where she was last year. She improved compared to Finlandia, despite her marks not showing it and in spite of skating new programs for the first time.
With 3 weeks of uninterrupted training, she can do even more.
Seeing how Anna fights her way back, I see no reason to doubt Aliona.
I guess the time will tell, I think the better time to judge will be after France, I certainly hope to see another step forward for Aliona. Who knows how things will go.
For Daria it will be really important to get very good scores with every international opportunity. She also should not focus on Olympics, but just focus on next season, precisely on gaining 3A or a quad. After NHK, if I were her, I would beg Eteri to jump as much as I can.
If she doesn’t gain those jumps until the end of the season, Russia can easily take her out of GP events next year in favor of new seniors those who do have those jumps.
I knew sth is up with Anna, when Tarasova spoke on air about her character in 2018.
It sounded like she had longer talk with Tutberidze and they must've discussed Anya's competitiveness and/or eagerness in training, because somebody like TAT, who's seen them all through the years, wouldn't bother to praise some inexperienced 14yo, who also lost whole previous season.
I'd kill to know what Eteri said about Anna to her.
