2025-26 Russian Grand Prix - Stage 5 - Omsk

[flanker]

I don't think Liza & Pavel beat that in the battle for silver. But let's see.

It seems they did, or at least made it a draw.

 

[Mathematician]

Could they earn 190?

188.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Please M/U. Just no big mistakes. You have a decent lead.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Sh/D beating Sh/G is the most unexpected ice dance result for me in many time.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Done!

Though kinda low levels for them this event. Last season they used to have the highest BV along with Khavronina/Narizhny.

Nice program from Ekaterina and Evgeni

 

[AlexBreeze]

Not M/U trolling Trankov

How tall is Akatieva? Not a shorty anymore.

She looks the same as last season. I will try to find her next to skaters I know well but she has appeared almost nowhere publicly this season so it is hard to know if she grew.

I can see what she looks like next to Zagitova compared to Muravieva or Gorbacheva, as long as it's in the same vlog and Zagitova is wearing the same shoes.

Mironova/Ustenko is the only non-Moscow ice dance team to ever win a stage.

This also seems to be the first time ever we see two St Petersburg team at nationals.

Good job, Elena Sokolova.

Shichina/Drozd's breakthrough resulting in their fourth place in the standings was extremely unpredictable. Good for them, they might event fight for the main roster of the national team.

I'm kind of worried for Akatieva.

@yume

Even a little shorter than Sadkova!

 

[EdgeCall]

Again Alisa was clearly overpowered by the music, but she fought well.

 

[Skating91]

Tsvetkova was not bad. Akatieva might end up in last place.

 

[flanker]

Tsvetkova probably skated at the very edge of her abilities. Good for her

 

[Mathematician]

I'm kind of worried for Akatieva.

This would be a lot more exciting if Akateva at least didn't pop the flip yesterday to leave a 10 point gap between Mazur.

She landed good jumps today in warm-up and a good 3-3 yesterday. They said she skated clean in practice. At least it leaves hope for nationals.

svetkova was not bad. Akatieva might end up in last place.

Only if she bombs again. The PCS gap will be enormous and Tsvetkova gets huge deductions.

 

[Jontor]

Just got here in time for the conclusion...
