2022-23 Cup of Russia - Final - St. Petersburg

[LadyB]

I want to know too.

It just means so much to me. Everytime I hear it, I'm reminds me of magical days in Megasport and Sochi.

 

[yume]

Akatieva has grown this season as well like Sofia S (but hasn't seemed to have affected her as much although Sofia S is a giant for a skater)

Sofia A doesn't have the same body shape than Sofia S. That's the biggest difference.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Ksenia i do love her programs for her. Her move to SPB has worked well for her
Kinda wish Agneta would move to her coaching group.

Akatieva has grown this season as well like Sofia S (but hasn't seemed to have affected her as much although Sofia S is a giant for a skater)

Sofia Samodelkina has a bit of an unfortunate combination of unsustainable technique (this was already visible on the Ultra-C elements last season), genetics that don't agree well with her jumping technique, and an unfortunate history of leg injuries.

 

[Tyranid]

Gone i guess. As she won't be in national team. I hope her parents have money, unlike Tarakanova's.

Or unlike Serafima Sakhanovich's.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Gone i guess. As she won't be in national team. I hope her parents have money, unlike Tarakanova's.

They seem rather well off so she will be ok I guess. Puberty has not been kind towards her I do wonder what this means for her career. With Sofia A stuck in juniors until the olympics she should have been the leader for this olympic quarter but she has fallen so much behind other skaters like Mura and Adeliya

 

[JimR]

Veronika's time, to be honest I'm haven't watched any international competition, I rather have only Russians, if they were in the world's we only have the chance to see 3 of them, I biased even I'm not from Russia

The quality today is incredible.

 

[elektra blue]

i'm back

 

[yume]

Or unlike Serafima Sakhanovich's.

Yeah. Her career could have been different if she had not left Moscow.
Talent isn't enough, money matters too.

 

[JimR]

Sofia A doesn't have the same body shape than Sofia S. That's the biggest difference.

Yeah she might have the ideal shape.

 

[yume]

Is Plushy calm after yesterday?

 

[Mariiiiskate]

I cant remeber the last time Mura hadn't landed her 3A in the short Other than that she did really well.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

One thing I noticed is that Mura doesn't really have rotation issues, but issues with keeping her power in check and checking out of the rotation at the right time.

That's why she rarely falls, but why step-outs are pretty common for her on the 3A.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Yeah. Her career could have been different if she had not left Moscow.
Talent is enough, money matters too.

Her timing was sadly so off, she was a junior at a time where funding was tiny and came from a big family who weren't that well off. Sadly she didn't have much of a chance to stay in Moscow back then. I do wonder how it would have turned out with her staying and going against Zhenya.

 

[elektra blue]

Is Plushy calm after yesterday?

he doesn't seem pissed off even kind of supportive (to his standards)

 

[kcma]

Sofia Samodelkina has a bit of an unfortunate combination of unsustainable technique (this was already visible on the Ultra-C elements last season), genetics that don't agree well with her jumping technique, and an unfortunate history of leg injuries.

She has always been a favorite and loved Sofia S. free last year but it's falling apart now

 

[yume]

Mura always has that heavy breathing after her skate. It scares me sometimes.

 

[Skatelife]

We are so spoiled, I was specting a perfect Sophia, but still well done

 

[Jumping_Bean]

I cant remeber the last time Mura hadn't landed her 3A in the short Other than that she did really well.

I think her combination looked a bit better (i.e. her back movement was less pronounced), but maybe I'm also just imagining things.

 

[JimR]

Shame for Muravieva she was at peak form today that 3A is usually solid.
