2024 Channel One Cup

[Amei]

I think this is the first cup after which everything is calm in Russian social media. No one is saying how bad everything is, the scenario, and so on. We'll see what happens tomorrow, but I think this cup is the closest in quality to the first one.

Sportsru comments weren't kind regarding the draw yesterday, highlights of what I saw:

• Tuktamysheva was acting drunk
• Zagitova was dressed vulgar
• Shcherbakova enjoyed Chinese food too much
• Trankov was stupid

Maybe everyone got their drama out yesterday.

I wonder what the captains challenge will be as Anna is injured.

She was skating around in China, so while her ankle appears taped still, for someone who expresses music well she could probably pull off a performance quite well without any jumps.

Splendid from Gushchina

I am going to miss that music…my favorite of everyone this season

I wasn't able to watch today, did Kolyada skate an exhibition number as promised? I can't find any video of him on sports1tv.ru.

He had a solo part at the opening ceremony. They didn't upload it unfortunately.

(it isn't a full video, just what I was able to find)

Sport ru are overdramatic, but I relay in the page translation.
Regarding Zagitova with that face and body she's able to pull a potato sack, actually yesterday she looked stunning as usual

This keeps showing up from various accounts on my IG. Clearly Bukin was having a good time today!

Yametova had a lyrical program in her first senior season. Not a ballet but different from the rest of her programs.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Whoever does Yametova's costumes is so talented. For all these years, everything she wears looks stunning and I want it for myself.


Why is Tuktamysheva dressed like a pirate?

Did the teams discuss what order they wanted to jump in for Battle of the Elements? Or did they just go out onto the ice and line up in random order?
I would have discussed putting my "best" and "strongest" jumpers first to get max points before time runs out.

And who decided who was doing their SP program today? Was this also randomly selected? They seemed interested in choosing the girls with the ugliest SP costumes to perform today. (Gushchina, Agaeva)

I like how Tuktamysheva accidentally wasn't looking right at the moment Muravieva fell lol. Tuk should have never looked away! She jinxed it!

Yametova killed it. She should get a gold medal for SP today.

The teams chose who skated which programs, the girls selections probably had more to do with who has quads/triple axels. Muravieva might've been the exception given that she was injured/ill in February and maybe they didn't want to push her too hard to do a FS. Though Dvoeglazova and Pleskacheva both have quads so perhaps they were chosen for the FS because of that.

Why is Tuktamysheva dressed like a pirate?

When she was a captain at WTT 2021, there were memes that she was Jack Sparrow.

Did the teams discuss what order they wanted to jump in for Battle of the Elements?

I think yes, considering the pairs skaters did easier jumps for them, and stronger men did 3As.

And who decided who was doing their SP program today?

Team members themselves.

I'm watching the contests.

Cool thing that pairs skaters were allowed to participate in the singles relay. I was surprised to see Osokina.

The SBS jumps is a superb idea. Loved the tiny guys' synchronized 4Lz. Nice synchro on the 3Lz for Alisa and Lydia too.

My only complaint is the open mics of the captains. Too much screams.

And i have to remind you all that i love Ivan Bukin. Such a fun guy.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Speaking of Bukin, there's a video I saw on my Telegram feed several days ago. This is genius.

Mad as a hatter! In the most posiive way. I wish the whole world could be a bit more Bukin

I think Alina looked gorgeous. Some people are way too prudish.

As for the comment about Anna, it's not a polite thing to say, but I have to admit it crossed my mind too.
