2024 Channel One Cup

I guess it doesn't matter much how the ice dancers do because everyone will get scores as expected?
But these two were not exactly breathtaking.

Liza asks if the twizzles were good enough

Now she asks if the score is good.

Mironova/Ustenko could bomb and end up behind Shevchenko/Ezhlov. It already happened this season. But overall yes, these three duos have a significant skill gap so only extremely costly mistake changes anything.

Of course, I didn't mean right now. But sometimes the decisions made for the cup look a bit fishy. I remember Medvedeva complaining about unfair rules for the team selection in the first cup, and on closer look it turned out she had a point.

IIRC she complained because she could not chose Valieva first.

 

[Skating91]

Liza seems so unrefined. I can't understand anything she says of course just voice and mannerisms.

I didn't mind the game where they picked up toys. I'd prefer seeing Frolova and Sinitsina skate again today than juniors.

 

[icewhite]

although it's a bit messy at times I really love this program

 

[LadyB]

I love L/G and I love this programme!

After watching the junior competition outside Russia over the past week, it really highlighted how good girls like Agaeva and Yametova are (although I think Yametova squeezes in as a senior by one day). I really respect the top two of the junior comp I watched this week, but you could never have Agaeva lower for components than either of them.

IIRC she complained because she could not chose Valieva first.

I don't know if I still get all the details right but IIRC the procedure had a flaw leading to Zagitova having three free choices of the candidates while Medvedeva actually only got one, the other two being "rejects" by Zagi.

 

[Skating91]

How about Zagitova's jacket at the draw? She placed a lot of faith in the double sided tape.

 

[yume]

Bukin is so extra. A true cheerleader.

 

[AlexBreeze]

It feels like Sofia and Andrei had a deduction in every single free dance.

Couldnt make it on time - how Anna lost captain contest?

Anna Shcherbakova a loser???

Which Anna Shcherbakova?

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Oh, no ice resurfacing in between?

It wasn't scheduled yesterday either, but it had to be made due to the poor quality of the ice after the opening ceremony.

Must be that.
Though if she was the one who had benefited from that flaw she would not have complained.

 

[brakes]

Which Anna Shcherbakova?

The captain!

 

[yume]

Lol Samarin really looks like Woody from toy story.

 

[AlexBreeze]

The captain!

She had to call an understudy due to an injury, her name is also Anna Scherbakova.
