2021 Rostelecom Cup: Women's Free Skate

[kmw227]

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

Her jump technique isn't great so she can't really rotate a 3-3 combo, that usually puts her pretty far back. She doesn't do any in the free, so the free is usually better.

 

[EdgeCall]

Wonderful skate. Although she run out of steam in the second half. I hope she just needs to recover a little more.

Olga is such a wonderful skater!!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

I do kind of hate that Stepanova/Bukin trained me to expect the music to change to Justin Timberlake halfway through though lol

 

[Vemvane]

Olga is a promising young talent, and a joy to watch. I love her costume's design and colours, elegant and bright. Her spins are fantastic, with a very nice illusion spin, and considering that she's coming back from a knee injury, I'm very impressed that she got through all those jumps and a relatively choreographically full programme so well.

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

Did you see her, though, in the judge introductions? Kurakova is so not her thing, or I’ll eat my hat

Just look at that turn out. A couple of the "balletic" skaters could learn from her.

It is a particularly nice one.

 

[Alegria]

I wish Vika has i little more personality on ice.

 

[Jontor]

Clean Safonova is back!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Good jumps, weird music cuts, basically no performance from Safonova.

i love Vika and i'm so happy she delivered a solid performance, but she also need to emote more, her programs look empty and she really needs her second mark, they're not going to gift her anything
