2025-26 Russian Grand Prix - Stage 2 - Krasnoyarsk

[Mathematician]

I disagree. We had 5 skaters from last years Nationals + bomshells like Zakharova and Khusnutdinova.

This stage only have 2 from Nationals + Dvoeglazova.

Silver was 206.

I agree that this stage is even weaker though. I'm not saying you're wrong that Sinitsyna would've had an even freer stage today, I'm just saying it was free anyways by her standard (or what was her standard) but she just cannot skate consistently.

Losing Akateva was a moral wound.

I had doubts whether Akatieva in her current condition would be better than Kulikova.

It's about the intrigue.

Hello everyone! In here for the Men and trying to catch up with dance in the meantime (thanks youtube stream for rewinds )

Great to see Sasha and Vanya back, the program is not necessarily extraordinary but I'm very glad to see that they keep fighting ! Best of luck to them in the season

my son Matvei...i'm not nervous at all...

 

[Mathematician]

This might be the first time in history I'm more excited for men than women.

The field in men's is also weaker comparing to the rest of the stages actually.

you know what? i liked him, thornes, needles and all

 

[EdgeCall]

Stylish!

It just shows how strong the men are, then. Matvey + the entire 2nd warm-up group. Looks great to me.

The women literally had one star. It's unprecedented for this Russian era.

I might be biased, but I prefer Nordebäck's version...

I actually liked him, too. He is engaging. More than a lot of men. Too bad about the tech.

Decent performance by Timofei. Although the music was a messy potpurri and I wouldn't know how to connect to it either.

The Belorussian skater managed to keep the attitude and performance going despite the mistakes kudos on that.
Must not be that easy for him, not sure how many big events he gets to be in so it's nice he gets the opportunity to skate in front of a big audience and get feedback from judges. Was he the one who was sent to the qualifier?

 

[Jontor]

Solid start from Cheripka!

That was Damir. The first skater is not on the results table.

Not it was Evgeni Puzanov who was the only skater with a realistic chance to get the spot. But unfortunately Zhenya was extremely nervy.
