And I love Liza, that‘s pretty obvious I would think by now, and will continue to love her until she retires (which I hope wont be after this year), but she choked this evening. As tough as it is to say, we need to call a spade a spade.
 
I don't think ha Sofia M or any of these kids will be on the national team top 6 next year there's just too many girls.
She‘ll be senior eligible next year (same for Petrosyan, Zinina and Samodelkina) so Senior Nationals is crucial for her. There may be some retirements after this season, so spots will open. Top 6 at Nationals usually get a place on the main team (or at least reserve), so really hoping they play it smart tomorrow.
 
90.38 I think lol. Check it

I think it was nerves. Very unusual for her. Lot of pressure for them. Her hometown too.
Yes lots of pressure but Liz buried aliona 3 times in the short program this season. I expected around 80 points not around 71 points for her. It's a small setback she will need a really good free skate tomorrow because I expect sasha and Anna and KV to rack up big points in their freebies.
 
For those who still dream that Khromykh has options to go to the Olympics, remember how qualifying is done:

The champion of the nationals has the direct qualifying pass (Valieva), the 2nd usually also has his classification assured if he maintains his good regularity of the season (Shcherbakova)

Instead, they always have to fight for 3rd place in a 2nd and even 3rd event... in those events the classification is even more subjective and the podium will always be decided based on what is best for the Federation.

Taking this into consideration, if Sasha is minimally stable, with a conservative skating of 3 quads, she is already in the Olympics alongside Valieva and Shcherbakova. Trusova today failed in an element that he does not need (3A) to be on the podium of the Olympics, instead Tuktamysheva and Khromykh failed in basic things and very necessary for them ... regularity and consistency is what the federation considers most for choose your third place.

I think plushy knows that and SMs parents probably know that. If that would probably mean 2 senior grand prix events which is very important. But judges love her and she's too stable to bomb her free skate so making the top 6 is is realistjc.

It will be super interesting to see what sasha does tomorrow I think she has a really good chance to finish in the top 3 among seniors. Then what?

Is the pleasure on wiser tomorrow will be insane. Does she skate before or after sasha? .
 
What score would you have given Valieva?

Are you going to say the same thing tomorrow if she ends up with 270 to 280 points overall? ;) Hold onto your hats because the KaMissile will want to flex her muscles tomorrow!

Remember kV's face when they showed Anna's scores to take 1st place last year?
That is fueling Kamila big time.

I don’t care what’s fueling her lol, I care about what nonsense let’s her be10 points ahead when she deserves maybe 3.
 
It was a good show, it’s a pity for Alena and Dasha, I would like to see their beautiful short programs.

Anyways, I don’t know why Sasha keeps her 3A, she’s obviously not confortable with that jump.
Both sofia were underscored.
I feel bad for Liza and Maya, it was not their day but they will rock next time.
Congrats for Kami, she was out of reach today and Anna skated beautifully as always.
