2023-24 Russian Grand Prix - Stage 6 - Moscow

[alix15]

Did someone already say that Mura looks like Plushy's daughter ?

Oh don't cry baby, it's just a GP stage, you will medal anyway.

Omg yes, at first i thought it was her daughter

 

[katymay]

Yametova has come so far, I remember her as a junior and she made it to nationals, but was always in the bottom. She has come a long way.

 

[Mathematician]

So will Muravieva melt down in the interview? Place your bets. Will she even give one?

 

[Pairluv]

Well, she did enough for the win, but she's still struggling with her conditioning. She has a month to get it together or Adelia will beat her at nationals. At least they fixed the issues from last week.

 

[elektra blue]

Wakanda forever would work with Yametova. Kamila is too balletic for that.

i like when skaters try new things out of their confort zone

 

[Skating91]

It was enough the stamina look a little better and the 4T is almost there she gets great height and rotates it. The lutz is her worst jump imo.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

She used to hit it all the time. Something new is up with her.

She's taller now. She doesn't seem to have issues with rotating it (I think both attempts were rotated, or at least close to it), but her landing axis is off. It's not like Kami's wild off-air axis, but Sofia fell because she landed on the inside edge and couldn't hold it.

It's what caused her to step out on her 3A a decent amount of times in the past too, and it's really just a problem on the 3A, not on any other jump.

Adeliia is beating everyone anyways unless she full disasterclasses. Petrosian winning is up to herself and nobody else.

 

[squishyfishy]

i guess veronika will win the free but kami's sp gap is too large to stop her winning

She's fighting for silver there is no real chance of beating Adelia unless Adelia completely falls apart.

 

[yume]

Mid 220s must be the lowest score Valieva won with.

 

[AlexBreeze]

She will gradually get in shape for Nationals like she did last year, imo.

Not even that, you didn't seriously think they'd put Kami below anyone again so soon? Even if it's just in the Free.

Yes, you're right. Good analysis. But shes also unparalleled in neuroticism judging from her interviewes. She cant even process the questions or talk from how nervous she is.

 

[katymay]

Kamila's FS does nothing for me.

i had some hope haha

Thats what shes been saying. She says that she isnt in peak shape yet and still working for Nats.

 

[Jontor]

Easy win for Kamila. But that score won't be enough at Nationals.

 

[Selivanovp]

Почему, София, почему? В Казани у вас уже было первое место. Зачем вам этот риск?

It's actually a good place for her to try. She wasn't really risking neither podium nor GPF chances, and she wanted to land it clean before RusNats.

ITA. She's improved within just a week. It's hard when you're growing up and your body is changing so much.
