2025-26 Russian Grand Prix - Stage 3 - Kazan

[Pairluv]

The eternal question: why do they land those jumps in the warm up and then blow it during the actual skate.

 

[niks]

Anna made some uncharacteristic mistakes and looks out of steam

Yes, she had quite a few stumbles and looked like she was really fighting to just finish the skate She looked stronger at her previous stage, hopefully it's just a day off and she gets back into rhythm for Nats

 

[Mathematician]

Sadkova should go with just triples, she just doesn't have those quads and its destroying her program.

She had them almost every time last season and jumped 4 in a row clean during warm-up.

 

[lariko]

And my cat demands pets, so I'll shut up for a bit heh.

 

[Jelle307]

Always hard to be a Dasha Fan

 

[Pairluv]

It's quite characteristic since about a year now. She doesn't bomb but her cardio and mental strength has struggled.

A quality shared by many of her coaching team's skaters.

 

[flanker]

Oh Dasha brings me more grey hair. Still good, IMO should be first now.

 

[Jontor]

I think Zakharova won the 4T battle...

 

[Skating91]

Mura won't get a better opportunity to win, but she did look a bit heavy yesterday

 

[Mathematician]

I think Zakharova won the 4T battle...

Nobody won the 4T battle today

 

[elektra blue]

Ferdinand isn't behaving today

 

[flanker]

First 4T looked really well, pity about the exit.

 

[Paulipau]

She had them almost every time last season and jumped 4 in a row clean during warm-up.

No she didn't, the only time she got them done cleanly was at nationals.

 

[alix15]

Mura mura mura mura. I’m imploring a perfect skate for her

 

[elektra blue]

Sonya davaaai

 

[flanker]

Dasha has a medal anyway.

 

[Mathematician]

No she didn't, the only time she got them done cleanly was at nationals.

No... 1 step-out at her first stage and both clean in her 2nd stage... Like, genuinely, why did you say she only got them clean once if you didn't know it for sure? Like, you just didn't bother to check? I don't get it.

 

[niks]

Dasha... not her day today either Oh no, looks that she is just about to start crying coming out of the ice ...

She doesn't have much advantage from the SP was I think she will still stay in the podium... and she does, though it doesn't seem to mean much to her...

 

[Selivanovp]

Sadkova should go with just triples, she just doesn't have those quads and its destroying her program.

She performed at least 4 clean 4T during warmup. It's all her nerves.

 

[Skating91]

Not a good sign when you jump the sequence first
