That was fun. Good energy.

Wow Sofia Z is popular with the crowd!

Her skating style is fun so maybe they were all charmed.

 

[AlexBreeze]

As usual, Yagudin doesn't look interested at all.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

I remember really enjoying Sofia last season in Juniors, so nice to see her do well here

 

[LadyB]

Ugh, i thought La la land was behind us.

I was hoping. There should be a five-figured fine for everyone using it.

Akatieva is 15yo and 7 days away of being a real senior (internationally). I think it isn't hard to find younger than her in these GPs.

Lol, with all the angst about her age, she sort of stopped aging for me. Always too young, heh

Everyone who does Cabaret has my vote! Could be the wine I've already had, or the state the government in my country is currently in ..

Or the Popova/Mozgov vibes

if can be of any consolation there's a lot worse...there's Italy

 

[elektra blue]

oh no and also

Better someone with the wrong plan than nobody with any plan. So, congrats!

I'm loving this GP, it allows me follow skaters that usually we don't see in the international events, they are really impressive

With this world, thank God we have figure skating

I'm still enraged by the fact she has to wait 3 years because of 7 days.
While others like Petrosian who is just 32 days older don't have that problem.
Luck isn't really her friend.

 

[lariko]

Good fight from Kovaleva.

Keep following Russian events, you'd be in for a treat.

It happened before. And, well, if her age is even going to be relevant to international stage at all. She skates in seniors domestically. Honestly, with new rules, the best is going to be in Juniors. JGP was topped by the youngest women.

 

[yume]

I was wondering why we didn't hear Lara Fabian yet.

 

[elektra blue]

Gianluca, be good now, Eteri's coming

 

[yume]

Valieva is only 16 but she looks so out of place in that group.

 

[lariko]

Gianluca, be good now, Eteri's coming

That’s right!

Also, Gorbacheva! Can’t wait, she and Shul’skaya is what I am here for!

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Did anyone so far try 3A, or Akatieva will be the only one?
