2025 Skate to Milano Women's Short Program

[Vemvane]

A good skate from Viktoriia. I enjoyed the opening with the Ina Bauer, and then a turn with raised leg. Secure 2A out of a spread eagle to start, and a comfy 3F. Sizeable rippon 3Lz-3T. I liked the sort of layback position at the end of her ch combo spin. Nice use of her head to punctuate her choreography at the start of the step sequence.

That is just disgusting! I CANNOT watch Women Short live because Youtube stream was blocked in Ukraine due to the fact that the national broadcaster Suspilne sport had bought the right. But there is no live streaming on their channel right now. I am at a loss. I beg you, fans all over the world, upload videos as soon as you can. I am grateful to everybody who'll do it.

Either you broadcast the whole thing live, or you let people watch the international streaming.

Nice 2A

Safanova seems better than I remember

That was a gorgeous flip

Ouch no GOE on that combo. Looked a little wonky on the landing but the 3T was good. Odd! But that's really harsh. She'll get an edge call.

Nice skate from Viktoriia Safonova. She was one of my favourites last time. I would like to see more expression, though. The lack of performance will limit her PCS. She reminds me of Sofia Samodelikina a year or so ago - technically good, but a bit wooden in terms of performance.

Ted mentions some UR...

Vika has always been an underdog, i've always liked her because of it. she's technically strong but not very expressive also has the problem all tall skaters have, she looks stiff. but nevertheless she had a good outing, although this program could do with some more flare

Actually she looked quite technically strong in the BLR events recently. Big level up. She clearly put everything into preparing for this chance.

Yeah some carrots on the combo :/

She skates on straight legs. Maybe it's from nervousness, but I she more or less does this.

Will you be able to use a VPN by any chance? Opera browser has a free built-in VPN, hopefully one of the region options they have will be unblocked in Youtube

Nice techs but def could use some work on expression. I feel like with music this intense she needs a little more "umph"

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

It's been years since I saw Viktoria, but I am so glad I put my faith in her in my predictions. She still has it.

That was great!!!

I was worried after seeing how nervous she was when walking in at the start. But, there was no need to.

And that dress is just gorgeous.

She's going to lead by a few miles.

Well, just the 20 points.

Oof. 57. Was it really that low-scoring of a skate?

Install the Opera internet browser on your computer and use the inbuilt (free) VPN.

I thought the scoring system meany it didn't matter what order you skate in?

Wow Adeliya's 18 now?! When did this happen?

I think it´s okay with UR and q on the combo. She lost 3-4 points on the TES and would have hit 60s if it was clean. I could see it in the landing so I don´t think it´s unfair (as long as they call others)

 

[Mathematician]

I mean the program was objectively executed extremely effectively.

 

[Skating91]

Nice combo

 

[lariko]

Too bad Adelia had a rocky landing. This is a better program than her FS imo. Probably will get UR on lutz.
