[LadyB]

Chikmareva/Yanchenkov are defo one of my future top pairs! They've go a lot to give
Also interesting, B/K have chosen Hit The Road, Jack as well this year.

Congrats to D/Kh -amazing!

The three jumps combo is an interesting innovation, especially for pairs. We can see something else rhan the usuals 3-2-2 or euler combos.
I loved the 3T-2T-2A of the last couple even if it wasn't synchro.

Also loved the pair who skated on Carmen, nice costumes.

The penultimate pair was energetic and had nice transitions. Loved the throw 3lo.

Ice ance is starting. The team Vorobyeva/Tsimbalov withdrew after yesterday's unlucky accident of the girl.

Did they say if she were okay? It looked pretty bad

Sorry, I am stuck at work as usual.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Im back at home in time for Junior girls! Really exited for this!

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Kristina did well, landed her everything included backloaded 3lz-3t but sadly botched her second spin

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Vika missed some of her spin levels sadly, but other than that she did really well, nice and clean program from her

 

[Mawwerg]

Except #2 all girls skate well.

I'll put money on at $5.80 all day. Kamila will be better than at the test skates and should have her 4T available, but she'll have to skate clean to be certain of winning. Akateva will have better technical content I imagine, and also be better than at the test skates. I read something about Akateva being adjudged the 'winner' of the test skates although it's going to be very close.

Petrosyan's two new programs really suit her and I don't think anyone else could pull of he SP. It feels like Eteri and Gleik are giving her a push with some original content.

That’s why I highlighted it.

Sofia’s odds of winning the SP are way more than the 17% that these odds imply.

Got to say this: If anyone wagers and wins on her, I deserve a percentage of the winnings. Haha

 

[Caliban]

Rubtzova in this warm-up, and Titova in next group.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Lots of girls are struggling with the axels today but landing their triples, doesn't really look promising for the boys and their 3As

 

[yume]

That's a colorful costume and hair. Interesting program.

Steams for the rest of the week:

A great skate from Lyuba!

 

[yume]

That rippon double jump as a spin exit is original. Charming program by Lyubov.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Yay Nastya M went clean!

 

[yume]

That was a fun program.

Girls seem to get a lot of calls and low GOEs.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Girls seem to get a lot of calls and low GOEs.

And particularly low spin levels.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

And particularly low spin levels.

yeah lots of level 3 spins today, but this has been happening lot in local moscow comps as well. Russian coaches haven't adapted to the new spin level requirements well and seems like judges are hammering juniors to make the coaches adapt faster. Dont think we will see similar calls in seniors tho.

The first skater had a really nice dress, looking like Wakaba's blue Bond dress. The 2nd skater has Nastia Gubanova's R&J dress, the 3rd Yuna Kim's Gershwin's dress, the 4th Yuna's Meditation of Thaïs dress (to be honest, i've seen that kind of dress many times this season and last season).
