2023-24 Russian Grand Prix - Stage 4 - Kazan

Argh, men's short stream broke for me again in the middle of Lutfullin's skate (lovely 4Lo!) so i am swapping to live stream.
 
Why the whole combo was invalidated and not just a part. That's a lot of points she lost.
Well because the rule says you cant repeat a sequence and she repeated it. The rules explicitly state that you will receive null for a repetition. I actually cant believe they messed that up - somethings fishy. I legitimately cannot understand how they so blatantly messed that up.
 
I feel this stage was overall very fairly judged (men/women, pairs is still ongoing :)). Suprinsingly and refreshingly fair, specially compared to international competitions I've seen lately :p So kudos to judges for once when it is due :)

Regarding Kamila, I admit I have a soft spot for her. She is a really beautiful skater, but above all she seems like a genuinely nice person and I think she had to endure and go through a lot at a very young age, more than many people would go through even at adult age. She seems to truly enjoy skating and competing so I hope she's able to continue to do so. I wish her well.

Valieva's jumps:

1. 4T f
2. 3F+2A
3. 3Lo
4. 3S
----
5. 3Lz+3T*+2A* (3Lz REP)
6. 3F+2T
7. 3T

I don't get it. AFAIK you can only do one Axel sequence in the long, but could someone explain why her first 3T got nulled? She didn't seen to zayak anything apart from the 2nd Axel seq.

edit: so I'm guessing that if someone does an extra Axel seq., all jumps except the 1st one get no credit. Is that correct?
 
When I am in charge of the world of figure skating, I will ban those ugly lifts or make all pair girls wear pants so the lift is somewhat disguised. One of the many things I admire about Moskvina is there are no ugly lifts from her teams.

Oh , i thought it was like the zayak rule.

I wanna have Roslyakov in the house 24/7 - he's always smiling and looks like the happiest person on earth.

3Fx2, 4T plus 3Tx2

skater may not repeat a triple jump more than twice in a routine, and the later jump must be done in a combination or sequence. Plus, she already had 4T, so one triple one quad, jump can be repeated in the free, and the third would be invalided.

Her repeat 3T is single and she has 3x 4, 3Ts
