2023-24 Russian Grand Prix - Stage 6 - Moscow

Kudos to them for pulling it through to the end. But it would have been perfectly ok to abort. She was not in the condition to seriously compete. Get well soon Vika!

 

[Artemisa]

Good singles jumps ... wasn't there day but the day that they can pull everything.
I 'm tired of that song

Don't go into figure skating if you want to be happy in life.

 

[LadyB]

Oh God, the poor girl!

 

[elektra blue]

oh no Vika don't cry

Vasilyeva has some nice lift positions. There is work to do, but they aren't that bad.

 

[Skating91]

Here comes drama.

Вроде бы это она сказала.

Thank you

Thats beautiful

 

[Pairluv]

That jump sequence. And then the 3F

I maintain if she sticks to it, they can be competitive outside Russia. Just get them on the GP and let them do their thing.

 

[AlexBreeze]

They ditched the 3F+3T+2A. Good. It was unnecessary risk.

 

[KhinSuShein]

In what way? Today was a meltdown and 4th still pushes gold internationally.

I mean the gap between is narrowing down. Hope that in National, we will see more Ultra-c.

 

[Artemisa]

They are getting better .. but i think at the end they need more speed and stamina .. because the levels they lost in the last two elements ... there isn't anything to do with techin

The age limit was lifted to 17. The gap is going to narrow naturally.

 

[Pairluv]

Leave the boy alone and let him eat his ice cream!

 

[elektra blue]

go, Georgy, have a giant calories bomb

 

[Skating91]

Alyona needs a new marten. She should have waited to see how the season would go before getting married.

LOL she's so controlling. Poor guy.

 

[LadyB]

Davai. Dasha i Roman!

 

[Artemisa]

She is happy even with mistakes! So probably she is being more realistic about everything

Valieva's base value was 8 points higher, Yametova's skate had no cohesion it was rushing around the rink yet PCS only 2 less than Valieva.

The BV advantage is completely gone with two falls.

And sorry, you might think that Kamila is so amazing that she deserves the highest PCS here with two falls, but I don't agree. Her turns have become more sloppy, her edges shallower, and even though this was better than in Kazan, her ice coverage and speed are still far below what she used to be capable of. She is charismatic, I'll give you that, and I actually think that's the one aspect she has really improved in, but otherwise, her PCS are not at a standard where she should be ahead of all of the other young women here after falling twice - Especially not with this program (Sorry, Danny G).
(And yes, as much as I love her, Mura's PCS too were a bit high for a 2-fall program)

Awe too bad about the 3LoTh. It was going beautifully until then, but overall that was a nice skate by BoyPles
