[Caliban]

Elizaveta Tuktamysheva take last prize from jury

 

[Mariiiiskate]

so who do you guys think won the popularity award I feel like its between Kami vs Zhenya vs Alina

 

[lariko]

Goes to Tuktamysheva. Agreed, tbh.

It's tough. I make my own mental list and some of my favorite skaters end up halfway down the list. Its been a great event.

Yes! Liza! I knew she would get one.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Congrats to Liza and Sofia

I feel like the skaters being so upset takes away from this event, I was really looking for a fun event and it was that until I noticed how upset lots of the skaters are. I dont think ive seen them this upset during normal competitions tbh.

Well none of these skaters deserved 5's, 6's or even 7's. So it is upsetting.

Honestly, I hope Zagitova takes it.

I think having all of them sit out there is a bit awkward while they are awarding prizes, which is taking a while to do

 

[Caliban]

Kami got her prize

 

[lariko]

Okay, spectators’ awards to men, women and duos:
Valieva, Kondratyuk…

 

[Amei]

Honestly, I hope Zagitova takes it.

She got less than 10% of the vote, wow

 

[lariko]

…and K/A

 

[JimR]

There were 24 entries. Surely they realised odds were against them.

 

[JimR]

What did Kamila get?

 

[lariko]

She got less than 10% of the vote, wow

There is Valieva hysteria and Russians love their maidens martyred, so… I guess?

 

[alexocfp]

Wow indeed.

 

[Cherub721]

Kamila, Mark! Good for K/A beating all those champions!

Between the jury and audience awards they gave out 11 prizes. I don't see what they have to be sour about .

 

[alexocfp]

Glad for Kamila. The audience should appreciate what she has given them the last couple of years.

I love that moment when they all come back on the ice again, especially now with the 'oldies' amongst them.
