2024-25 Russian Grand Prix - Stage 3 - Krasnoyarsk

[KhinSuShein]

ohh after 1 year break for Sofia AKATEVA, it seems hard to recuperate the former level and i think it is going to be the same for Veronika Zhilina (2 years break - i am afraid that her whole career might be almost damaged), so regretable!

 

[AlexBreeze]

Looks like a medal for Alina.

 

[elektra blue]

it's good to have you back, Sonya!

 

[AlexBreeze]

But Sofia is doing well considering this huge break.

Well done Sophia, shame about the double at the start, she did seem a bit sluggish, love the ending sequence

 

[alix15]

I hope Sofia won’t give up competitions after this season. I hope she can be again at top level alongside with Adelia.
She really became a beautiful young woman and her skating is even more beautiful than before the break.

Sofia did well. Seems like it's too early for the quad.

I’m not even sure veronika will ever again come back

Sophia looks like she goes into her jumps anticipating pain. I don't think she is fully healed at all.

 

[elektra blue]

Mura davai!

Could be, but it could also be psychological in nature, which would actually not make it any easier to overcome.

Depends of what she wants. If she wants some podiums, she can do that with triples only. Look at Muravieva and Frolova. If she wants the top, unfortunately quads have to be in the mix.

 

[yume]

Oh, looks like Sofia A will medal after all.

 

[AlexBreeze]

What to say here.

Not unexpected but very sad.

 

[elektra blue]

Mura is one of my favourites and i like the concept of her two programs, but sadly she made too many mistakes. would that be enough to stay on podium (doubt so)?

 

[katymay]

Poor girl. She looked very tired.

 

[KhinSuShein]

Well i think Sofia MURAVYEVA - each time she has something - some excuses, some reasons - I think she will never become TOP ! disappointed in her, no idea it is coaches or skater problem. She is so beautiful and she skate so beautifully too but it stops at that, that's all.

 

[alix15]

I just can’t believe what I saw… after the strong performance yesterday, I feel like she never was in her program today. She seemed tired. What a shame
Seems like Anna can take gold.
Really not what I predicted

 

[thatdarncat]

Poor Sofia , clearly not feeling 100%

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Why backload all three combos if she's sick and on antibiotics (very common side effect is lower energy production)?

Considering how she looked after finishing the skate, I'm just happy she got through without hurting herself. She shouldn't have been skating here.
