2024-25 Russian Grand Prix - Stage 2 - Kazan

[Pairluv]

I really like Yametova's calm and controlled skating, but if she'd wanted pink for her dress, I'd have put her in a deep rose. This shade is too pale for her and washes out against the ice.

 

[EdgeCall]

oh my fierce Nika, did you have to Zayak yourself? beautiful program, she's great but this dress has to go..you're too good for that cheesy pink

No chance for a nomination then?

 

[Mathematician]

We'll see if Yametova has anything to say about Frolova having anything to say about anyone @elektra blue

 

[elektra blue]

Nika on the podium!

68 PCS? What is happening to Russian judges? So conservative today.

 

[KhinSuShein]

OK now Veronica YAMETOVA is 2nd for sure!

 

[EdgeCall]

Quad popped.

But not the second time.

 

[yume]

Were the elements in the scoring box in russian before?

68 PCS? What is happening to Russian judges? So conservative today.

I'd say it's fine because she's worse in posture and some other skills comparing to Anna, Kseniia and Sofia M. I'd give Daria a little less today, the rest seems fine to me.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Were the elements in the scoring box in russian before?

Not before this season.

 

[thatdarncat]

Not clean from Adeliia today, but I think this program suits her well.

 

[EdgeCall]

Some unusual mistakes. Did she get carried away?

Artistically this is the best program I have seen from her. Tango suits her well.

 

[Pairluv]

Some shakey landing for Adelia, but should be enough for the win today. ITA that this tango suits her. She has the fire and passion to carry it off and if clean will be brilliant. She's grown into a stunning young woman.

 

[yume]

Gorgeous dress, mixed skate.
Petrosyan is a good performer and is always well packaged. She soesn't have the same issue than Tursynbaeva. She doesn't look junior-ish.

 

[Mathematician]

Ayayay Ms. Nervous...

But her sequences here are so cathartic, such freedom.

We'll see if Yametova has anything to say about Frolova having anything to say about anyone @elektra blue

who are you? 4everchan? you know what? i like them both (a little more NIka) and we'll see what both have to say to you, to the judges to everyone

 

[katymay]

Were the elements in the scoring box in russian before?

No. I noticed that as well.

 

[elektra blue]

No chance for a nomination then?

what for?

 

[thatdarncat]

So pleased the Veronika gets onto the podium

 

[EdgeCall]

Ok, she is the deserved winner, but isn't the scoring a bit generous, considering the flaws?
