2023-24 Russian Grand Prix - Stage 2 - Omsk

[yume]

Almost clean. Good job.
Is it me or her jumps got bigger? That first 3lz was huge.
The program is a bit rushed.

Man, Dima M needs to calm his farm at the mix table.

Not Dima M's choreo, pretty sure this is the work of Nikita M

Ah I see.

It did seem different!

In other news my stream can't decide if it wants to be high def or low def

Quads not working for Alisa
Oh dear, will the base value save her here? I dont think she has the stamina for this lay out just yet.
this will not help her confidence at all poor thing.

Ah well, I'll still enjoyed it.

What place is Tito in? I haven't seen the results page.

192 points. Shes going to finish 3rd unless Morozova puts on a disasterclass.

Ah I see.

It did seem different!

Classic channel 1.

I don't remember Nikita M making competition programs for AoP

New skating theory: spam ultra c for base value. Why didnt Titova do that, too?

 

[Mathematician]

Morozova performing to Piazzolla, Dvoeglazova fans are quaking right now...

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Vika just needs a clean normal 3-3 skate to win this

New skating theory: spam ultra c for base value. Why didnt Titova do that, too?

Doesn't look like she has them rn.

This stage has been rather weaker than the 1st even tho there's some bigger names here.

She did it two previous seasons, looks like she just can't right now.

Because she isn't in shape.

It's worth to attempt quads and the 3A if you're sure that you can do 7 clean triples after it.

Indeed... She's done a 4S and 3A before.

Maybe she's just working back up to them since it's early in the season.

He's done most of their Jr team this season - Both of Tito's programs, both of Nikita Sarnovksiy's, Maxim Avtushenko's SP and both of Kira's. Source
Nika, Mura and Alisa Yurova have choreo from Dima Mikhailov, from what I can tell.

 

[squishyfishy]

That was amazing!!

 

[yume]

How old is Morozova?

 

[Mariiiiskate]

smart of Vika not to attempt a 4lo here.
I like her free a lot, she has been the only skater here to put out 2 clean programs. Congrats on the gold!

Honestly this stage was not as good as the last. Margo does look to be unchallenged rn in juniors.

 

[Mathematician]

To be fair, Morozova seems to be effectively at her best form while the super stars are peaking for finals.

 

[squishyfishy]

Yay!! such a great reaction and so well deserved

Even if she hypothetically lands ultra c, the judges will crucify her with edge call and underrotation call. So unless she skates olympic medal skate they are going to punish her. Last year rusnats destroyed sofia's confidence.
