I wonder why team white has decided to use Zhenya in the short instead of the free. Roman S has had a great track record in short this season but not so much in the free and Zhenya has really been consistent in the free this season?

I wonder why team white has decided to use Zhenya in the short instead of the free.

1) Zhenya himself wants it (dunno why). He practiced it before the draw.
2) I think the plan is to win both SP and FS.

Team Blue - Stepanova/Bukin - 89.53 - 10 points
Team Red - Khudaiberdieva/Bazin - 85.40 - 9 points
Team White - Khavronina/Narizhny - 84.00 - 8 points

1. Maybe he wants end the season on a high note by winning the short as he doesn't have much competition there other than Vlad and not possibly lose to a junior or Petya after winning both nats and the final.
2.I think Zhenya has the best chance of winning the free in the white team tho not Mark but I get that.

Probably attempt the 4Lo too.

Probably. But Zhenya can't do both. Mark has potentially higher BV in his FS. His SP wasn't very consistent and he can't do +3T.

both M/G and B/K being in the short is not something I was expecting

 

[LadyB]

As far as SP is concerned, I preferred B/K this season.

 

[AlexBreeze]

So far
1) Only one not very talkative host as promised.
2) Only one commentator.
3) Instead of interviewing tired skaters, they are asked to write something on camera
4) Cool DJ

A thing that I miss from the previous versions of the competition is the participants' presentation by the announcer during the warm-up. That was fun.

I totally love ChikYan's SP! Molodtsy!

 

[EdgeCall]

Well done, ChikYan!

M/G and B/K are great, but somehow I particularly like the whiff of charismatic mystery C/Y have around themselves.

Yikes I totally forgot this was happening! How much have I missed?

Ice Dance RD and two pairs

Hey Liza Ooo!

Also Holy Giant Tech Box, Batman!

In other news is Sofia M here? I heard she was injured, but I'm not sure if she still is?

 

[thatdarncat]

Yikes didn’t realise I had missed the ice dance, I thought it started at 14:00

 

[Mariiiiskate]

So is the elements battle similar to the elements section of novice nats?

she is yes, she is going to skate in the short of the red team.

No

I guess most juniors won't be picked for the FP since they are at disadvantage. They can't get the choreo sequence's points on their BV. I think it's complicated. Lidiia and Margo are at advantage in both the SP ans FS if the 3A is clean. Alisa is at advantage in the FS due to high BV (even...

this part of the competition (and the relay thing) seems insane, I hope nobody gets injured
