Samarin 4lz is beautiful

There are far fewer mistakes than in jumping competitions during Channel One Cup.

There are far fewer mistakes than in jumping competitions during Channel One Cup.

And far, far fewer than in actual competitions - Seems that quads are actually not the problem.

Wait, why Mishin is using Lutfullin in single jumps?

I honestly dont know, I would have thought they would use Samo here instead as its less risky if she makes mistakes here than in the combo rounds.

Ignatov’s 4Lo is just so good….

What interesting is that this is the third jumping competition where Liza has popped the Axel or fallen on it. And I don't remember her popping it in a competition at all.

No big surprise in the results here (1. Mishin 2. Tutberidze 3. Plushenko), this was very much what I expected.

Because Lutfullin has beautiful combos too

 

[EVAMARIA]

Points for rounds.

Thank you

He doesn’t have a leading man…

Not seeing Sasha Trusova in a jump competition is so weird.

Grishin said that Samarin had risked with the Lutz and the toe loop would be cheaper and less difficult.

Haha. Samarin's Lutz is much better and more consistent than his toe loop.

So it seems that Liza is a person who profits from the rigid structure and the constant course of a competitive program while a lot of other skaters seem to have issues with it when it comes to difficult jumps.

It's definitely interesting...

everyone did so well in this round, only 1 pop and everything landed

Yep - Nikita and Maxim Avtushenko have the technical potential, but they aren't consistent or well-rounded enough yet to come even close to the top (at least when comparing to seniors).

i honestly think Maxim would have done well in this competition, he doesn't have the skating skills nor the spins but he doesn't need them here, he is really consistent with his quads. Probably would have been the better choice, but I think this is more of politicking opportunity for Nikita who did well in the cup stages and could be looking at a medal during jr nats or the final if the top skaters mess up a lot.

Enjoyed that, nice one, Rusfed. I feel a bit lost without a team to support as I love so many skaters across the board. But there were surprisingly great jumps here today. As some said before me, much better than at Channel One Cup or in 'real' competitions.

Both have their ups and downs with quads, Maxim is technically slightly more consistent with his, but I don't think there's a huge difference in quad stability (though 3As are a different story, Nikita struggled quite a bit with them last season/early on this season).

 

[Mariiiiskate]

it looks like Arseny is done skating which makes sense. Im interested to see what he does in the individual one tho I dont expect him to beat Zhenya if im being honest even if he goes clean.
