2021 Rostelecom Cup: Women's Short Program

Yea, I agree nothing is gonna change. another russian will come up with inflated score in their FIRST SENIOR competitions like she was genius, which is pathetic. If you really accept that almost junior skater gets 38 in PCS and it is normal I feel sorry for you. SHe is chosen. IT is offending for other skaters, not you and me. It is plain disgusting

file a report to ISU, saying it here over and over again it's pointless, unless you want us to be entertained, wich you're doing well btw, so thank you

I think until now she did everything she can to get the third sport for olympics. If she skates like that at nationals she should be the choice behind Valieva and Shcherbakova.

But but .... Rusfed is going to make her do a skate-off at Europeans for the last spot. I can feel it.

W

Mariah Bell in third place with only 3+2 combo explains the struggle we all have been through this SP

Well, some men stay on the top three without a quad.

 

[rinkside_user]

In Beijing, I expect Valieva's scores to go over 90 in the short and over 185 in the free (if she skates lights out and last at the Olympics, over 190 is also possible). Nothing new on the horizon, Zagitova had a similar meteoric rise within the Olympic season 4 years ago.

Liza looking so much better every time I see her

Last group tomorrow

Kamila 87.42
Elizveta 80.10

Madeline 67.49
Maiia 64.72
Loena 64.44

Speaking of chosen, Leona was held up by the judges after her debacle. She should not be in the final group tomorrow.

Thanks all for the company, but I worked last night and now am off to to rest before going back to work at Covidland aka: hospital.

What you mean by choreo is stunning..Every russians coming up is stunning. med was stuning, Zag was stunning, Anna wa stunning.
She is slow, her choreo is mediocre and lots of poising, her crossovers are even worse. Spins are very good.Thats all. Combo is plain bad and "flip" too

Kamil is definitely not slow. And it's interesting that you say Evgenia, Alina, and Anna were (are?) stunning - they are - but then don't seem to think the same for Kami criticizing her choreo, posing, crossovers,etc when all of Evgenia, Alina, and Anna did or do the same.

 

[elektra blue]

Lame answer, with Lakernik bein russian and head of ISU NOBODY will do a thing. THAT'S the problem. And you know it

and the point of complaining here would be?



(why am i doing this?)

And Miiya should? She had no combo? Please, be objective

 

[Tomadeur]

Hmm, I think that's still Sasha if she's healthy. Even a watered down Sasha can beat Liza when both are clean. And Sasha can score 77-78 with just a 2A in the SP.

Liza's season best is higher and she is way more consistent, but it will be definetly Liza or Sasha barring any crazy things happening.

I didnt say that THEY WERE stunning for real , only always people used to say about them too in superlatives, because they were supposed to deserve their scores

 

[elektra blue]

i go too, see you tomorrow! love you all! (well someof you more than others, but you know, life is unfair )

Gathering an army of complainers to do it together?

 

[Hyena]

I think until now she did everything she can to get the third sport for olympics. If she skates like that at nationals she should be the choice behind Valieva and Shcherbakova.

At this point, I see Tuktamysheva is the clear #2 Russian woman this season. Anna has a slightly higher Season's Best but Liza's been more consistent (higher median and average scores). That being said, we'll see what happens at Nationals.

 

[Jontor]

(why am i doing this?)

Yes why? You usually stay out of trouble...

 

[Joekaz]

And Miiya should? She had no combo? Please, be objective

Actually yes, she should be 6th behind Matsuike and Leona should be in 7th. She was good other than the fall, Leona was bad thoroughout.

 

[silveruskate]

Valieva - a class above.

 

[icybear]

I think Liza's 3A is just as good as Kamila's and I think her 3Lz is better. Kamila had a very shallow edge on her lutz, from the replay. I also enjoyed Liza's program more.

Elizaveta telegraphs into her 3a like a reversing truck. An when she lands, she hits a stand still. Her distance is much less than Kamila

 

[Jontor]

Interestingly, the American judge had Kamila highest on PCS at 39 points. A perfect 10 for Performance.
