2021 Rostelecom Cup: Women's Free Skate

[LiamV426]

Ok I didn't remember that Eva-Lotta not only had voiceovers but the sound of someone flatlining at the hospital?!

I definitely don't remember this from the last time she performed it. I thought my TV was broken for a sec when I heard the flat-lining noise. So annoying.

But I can't help but sing along with Lady Gaga...

And she's wearing her mask properly. I love her now.

A much better skate for Eva-Lotta today, though the rink monster ate both of her 3Lz. I'm tempted to blame the tanos for that. Really happy to see that she got a level 4 StSq, as she seemed to be doing a great job with it. She's been more connected to the music before, but her intense focus paid off as she got through the technical elements with relatively few errors.

Oh so that was her music? I thought I had something in my ear!

Go Katia!

Love that I could see Star is Born on ice, since I think the movie lends itself automatically to be emotional, regardless of the choreography.

But really wish there was no dialogue and tinnitus effect. For a moment, I thought it was my own tinnitus flaring up. :/

Not bad Katia, much better than the short!

I love this ray of sunshine skater but man that was boring...

Isn't Judge Patty Klein from Canada?
She is required to love Kurakova because of the Orser connection or else she is not a real Canadian

 

[EdgeCall]

Clean!

If there were an audience award in Beijing Katarina would win it hands down. She is too cute.

 

[Makkachin]

Peacock had decided not to load for some....reason. So I'm a bit late but it looks like Kurakova did well I hope

 

[elektra blue]

I love this ray of sunshine skater but man that was boring...

they gave her this boring pretty girl package and so far she's been unable to shake it off

 

[YuBluByMe]

I don’t like Kurakova’s performance style. Miming is cheap and juniorish. It’s not necessary if you have musicality.

 

[breadstal]

The loveliest of them all I don't fully love this program, but still there are some great moments, I really enjoy the slower moments and the StSq! The spins were great, the jumps in the second half were a little messy, still a good job

 

[rollerblade]

How is it Kurakova almost always does much better in the FS than the SP?
