2023-24 Russian Grand Prix - Stage 3 - Krasnoyarsk

[yume]

If any sort of justice exists, Hromyh should not be making the Final. She was 7'th at best here.

It is very difficult to sympathize with pubertadze's (or tamdavaize's, or whatever her name is) skaters. Maia's scores are a farce.

I have a soft spot for Maiia and i hope she will do better at next stage. Yeah her score was inflated (and others' deflated) but like so many other scores during this GP and others. I'm glad she got a chance to qualify for nats.

Protocols of the top skaters
Agaeva: 3F!
Khromykh: 3Lzq, 2F!
Vazhnova: 3Lz+1Eu+3S<, 2A+3T<<, 3Lzq+2Lo
Anisimova: 3Lze

Pretty much reasonable. I like the tech panel of this event.

Such a close result. Maria, on the podium again. These skaters are so close to one another. At least they have each other to compete with, which will make Nationals interesting. I’m a bit sad for Elizaveta Kulikova. But, 3rd and 4th in Russia kind of puts her in the running to make it to the reserve list. Her and Maria should aim for those slots, if not more.

Veronika !! You are a star!! You are in the reserve list and this year, you can even make the National team!! Keep it up girl

Anna!! Wow!! A 2nd and a 1st place at her two events. She will head into Nationals and Russian Cup as a top 6 favourite. She has shown resilience to keep on skating. Love her

Yametova is saying they developed her entire FS in 4 hours just a couple weeks ago.

Choreo, skills, StSq, etc... in 4 hours from scratch.

@AlexBreeze

You're highly knowledgable about these things, so could you break down for me Vazhnova's chances at the final? I really, really want to see her make it, but judges went prime lebron on her in both stages.

5+6

Only if someone withdraws I think.

Is that also okay for nats?

I think she is a lock for Nats.

Interesting.

What do you mean if someone withdraws?

Maya's base value was only a few points behind the winner, landed those two big combos at the start. GOE seems reasonable. It fell apart in the second half but it was only a single lutz not one in combination she fell on, then popped a triple flip that become a double. Maybe the PCS could be 66 instead of nearly 69.

Just realize they gave her the second highest PCS of the event. Not ok.

What was the lowest result that got a ticket for nats last season? I remember some pretty good skaters couldn't make it.

a long session playing Assassin Creed Valhalla good girl

From the final. She will be the first or second sub I think.

Viktoria Nesterova 12 points (8th and 6th places).

So then, she isnt a lock for nats? Or is it highly likely that someone withdraws, is that typical?

Its a big shame that she is so close, and with the shocking scoring today.

 

[Skating91]

Really? That good, you think? I guess our final is going to be gobsmacking then.

@Skating91 Are you becoming more convinced of our scene, yet? With such performances at just a grand prix stage?

What are you talking about? Any of the top 4 would have been good enough for 2nd at a major international event this weekend.

If the winner got dinged for her underrotations in the short and lutz that is a flip then Frolova could have had a chance at victory.

For Nats she is. For the final (Spartakiad) she isn't.

dancers on ice!

You were complaining a bit ago that our talent is dead, because Akateva and others are injured. But we clearly have so many other stars.

For Nats she is. For the final (Spartakiad) she isn't.

Ohh, I understand now. Thank you.

I see. Then judges didn't need to underscore some skaters that bad. With a 7th place Maiia can make it.
