2022-23 Cup of Russia - Stage 2 - Sochi

[elektra blue]

she can't help but falling

 

[Jumping_Bean]

How many skaters will qualify for the final?

Twelve, and for Russian Nationals eighteen.

Should be low 80's.

She had a pretty significant mistake on the combination with the step-out and axis issues on the Lutz, even with the 3A, the score not being in the 80s makes sense.

 

[anonymoose_au]

no Girls just wanna have fun? you're disappointing me, Sofia

Oh dear it seems to be disappointing her too! She's having a rough skate.

What a shame

Seriously though this costume calls for some 80s ballad, might I suggest Alone by Heart?

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Seriously loop combos are not worth it, they barely bring any extra points while being so much more difficult that 3lz-3T combos

Poor Sofia

 

[anonymoose_au]

Aww she looks so sad, I don't like it when the skaters look sad.

 

[Jontor]

Disappointing skate for Sofia. Clearly she took on more than she can manage this early in the season.

staying with Cindy i'd suggest True Colors

Poor Sofia. What happened in the summer?

Poor Sofia

Yes, I wish that they would up the scoring for Loop combos, for now it just isn't worth it.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Oh no dont cry

 

[YuBluByMe]

The 3A attempt was solid with great distance. Bad music choice (especially right after instrumental Timberlake). Just use the original. Samodelkina really needs musical expression, especially for music like that.

 

[Lurker11]

Samodelkina has a great presence on the ice but she is understandably not happy with it.

 

[elektra blue]

uh! pairs in 15 minutes!

 

[GBs mom]

Twelve, and for Russian Nationals eighteen.

Oh good, I was worried it was six, and that would leave out some serious talent.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Offers Sofia S an ice cream.

Ouch 5th.

But Veronika Y had a humdinger of an SP! I wonder if she can hang on for tomorrow.

On that note I must be off! It's midnight and I'm visiting my grandmother tomorrow.

Cheer the pairs and the lads on for me.

 

[Jontor]

Well, mostly it went as expected. I would have Yametova ahead of Trusova...can she manage to pass her in the free??

 

[yume]

Poor Sofia. What happened in the summer?

Growth and coaching change.

 

[Lurker11]

Just LOL if Sasha ends up with a bronze

 

[EdgeCall]

These events are too short, just like the GP. I think from a spectator's point of view 4 groups with 6 skaters each is the ideal event format. Not too short, not too long.

 

[AlexBreeze]

As I expected, Adeliia got a q on the Axel.

She said after her skate that she had decided to do the Axel today.
