2021-22 Russian Women's Figure Skating

[flanker]

Sasha said once she would compete with men but Adeliia really made it into men's competition, at least according to graphics:

And what if she delivers three?

What music is that? I love it. Abel? Hope or wayward sisters?

Good luck to Maya this is a much more important free skate for her than it is for KV for instance.

 

[McBibus]

And what if she delivers three?

Maya has nothing to lose.
I hope she will go big (like Sasha on a normal day )

Well, based on the doom and gloom assessments of just about everybody there, I suppose the OP doesn't think anyone should go to the Olympics. Well, maybe Sofia M, but she is too young.

You can tell me your another site user, because I have a hundred users who say exactly the same thing: That Muraviova should have had 90, Valieva 80 and Shchervakova 70; and of course, that "the trainer apprentice" is the best coach Russia has had after Tarasova... the things to read about the hate for Tutberidze.

For his sanity I recommend everyone not to go through another site... the visceral hatred that is thrown at the Tutberidze team has already surpassed criminal levels...

Oh I'm sorry I dont wear rosy tinted glasses like you and arent capable of giving both positive and negative comments, which I did. You know ,this isnt some teacher feedback, where I have to be give pretentiously nice comments about everyone.

Who cares what any angry little keyboard warriors on another site or sports.ru or YouTube or we here on Goldenskate whine about..

"Oh but Kamila's scores! No musicality! Who Sasha? No Liza! No Kamila! She is too young raise the age limit to 20! No 25 I say! Only send ineligible juniors from Davydov's camp to the Olympics or else this system is rigged! Eteri drinks childrens' blood for breakfast and is holding all the girls hostage, I heard Plushenko's wife tell her hairdresser! Alina was ripped from her mother's arms, look at this traumatized shell of a girl in the commentator booth! Diana Davis is paying off the judges to ignore Anna's crime-against-humanity Lutz edge and and ..."

In the end things will be as they will be and we will happily watch the Olympics anyways. Whether they wanna let Kamila win this National competition by 10 or by 30 points, what does it matter, she belongs in 1st place if clean. Even with edge issues Anna is Russia's current second strongest skater from the results we've seen until today. And so on. It's great to discuss, that's what this platform is for and we all love it! But some folks should discuss more light heartedly and remember that in the end none of what we blabber on here matters

Now I feel a little mean. I feel Very bad for Liza missing the axel, she hasnt missed one in ages. And I really hope Sasha jumps well tomorrow.

 

[Imagine]

I want Liza to be on the team...after all this time. But that requires Sasha to bomb...and I just don't want that either.

press conference after the short program:

 

[Jontor]

I found it a bit funny that some Kostornaia fans here are complaining about Valieva's huge score. They didn't complain two years ago when Kostornaia scored 89.86, just 0.52 less than Valieva here. Now that's crazy when you think about it...

It's not crazy: amazing trixel, great performance, quality elements.
Some people crying then, some now
Should have Kami skated later (after other top competitors) she could even get a bit more PCS.
Domestic score is a strange beast but we're there as I think both performances belong in the same collection: "little better to do on a SP" and "we know this is the best SP of the season" so if it's clean there's no reason to be stingy with scoring.

The Kamissile is breaking Alionas scoring records. That's painful for Aliona fans and the fact that aliona is not at Nationals is even more painful because we can see from yesterday's action that aliona would have a real chance at the top three of seniors.

There are plenty of fans of both ladies too and I am one of them.

 

[florin]

One way or another, Tutberidze will now have to admit that the hypothesis of the possible existence of Plushenko has a weighty proof. Let's see what will happens in FS tomorrow.

I hope it won't come to proving the existence and uniqueness theorem

 

[Lechat]

While I definitely see Anna ahead of Sofia M., it's because of the performance itself and not because of mere time violation for me. That will only bring hostility and s...storm as it obviously started already according to @florin

Honestly, she’s still a junior and she’s not a threat, she’s not fighting for a spot for the olympic team I don’t know why they filled (head director of krustalny) a protest two hours after the results. It’s like they are ashamed that a junior is just ahead of their three times national champion.

Well marks that were given to Anna were small and the audience felt the same. 81 is high but clearly everybody expected like 83-84. But yes, when they scored it like they did, there shouldn't be additional intrusion into it.

Well it doesn’t concern Sofia, it’s like they are punishing her for their mistake. They can’t modify the score so let’s take a point from another skater With the pretext of time violation. It’s ugly and unprofessional.

According to the official statement the deduction was already given at the astadium, but thanks to error in the system it didn't count.

 

[Greengemmonster]

Just how shady is this time violation?

Did Sofia M start late? Did anyone else? If there were other people who started late, did they get docked one point too?

Do they provide proof that she started late or is it a "according to our records which cannot be disclosed you started late" kind of deal?
