2024-25 Russian Nationals Women's Free Skate

[LadyB]

Okay, guys. I'm here for the final group!
So much talent, it'll be a feast!

Yes 79 in TES is very high without any quads and 3A's.

A clean 7 triple program usually gets around 70 TES, and if it's very good up to 75.
I don't think I have ever seen as high as 79.

Alina Zagitova did over 80 internationally.

Plus Dasha Usacheva was able to do 80 domestically.

Damn, Gorbacheva is all muscles.

Gushchina is even more jacked

 

[LadyB]

Krasivaya Adelia!!!!!!!!

We need a serious mistake from Anna which is uncharacteristic. A small minus wont do it. If Mura does a 2A SEQ she also should win clean with the SP advantage, her PCS is always massive even if shes subpar. You forgot Alina thats another quadster. We need both Alina and Sadkova to make at least one mistake on top of falling a single quad (if they land one also). We will need at least 2 of the next skaters to make a serious mistake, not including Yametova who already cut short of her standard.

Alina is already on the podium, Sofia doesn't have to beat her to get a bronze.
Mura has been shaky in the Short (and in her other competitions this season), but yes, if she's clean, she'll go ahead of Kat.
Dasha is always a game of Russian roulette, her total PB is just 2 points higher than Kat's score here, and her FS PB 4.47 points higher than what she needs to beat Kat, so she could do it, or she couldn't.
Anna was okay in the Short, but even her FS PB is only 1.99 points higher than what would be needed to go ahead of Kat, and she has scored high enough for that only twice in her career.

Plus Dasha Usacheva was able to do 80 domestically.

But Zagitova backloaded all her jumps. You can't do that anymore.

Right but I was considering podium in general rather than just bronze with Gorbacheva already locked in. So the effect is the same. We now need 3 skaters to skate poorly. Anyways, if you check my message I didnt say it wont happen, I just said it means the girls skate bad, which I dont want to see.

4S looks good

Poor Veronika.

Oh no. I was hoping she would at least stay on the National team and get funding which she needs.

 

[elektra blue]

i'm back! japanese cacti cactused to prepare me to the russian cacti later...

 

[AlexBreeze]

Oh no. I was hoping she would at least stay on the National team and get funding which she needs.

She'll still be funded by her hometown and get bonuses of being in the reserve.

That already was time of Anna+Sasha+Aliona. and at 2019 worlds Lilbet Tursynbaeva landed first 4s by senior.

I don't think I have ever seen as high as 79.

There have been 79 and even 80+ TES before, from Russian skaters and international ones. It isn't the first time.
It's just that for this performance i think some jumps got too generous GOEs.

 

[yume]

Mura was flying on that 3-3.

Is the dress different again, or am I starting to get confused?
