2025-26 Russian Grand Prix - Stage 5 - Omsk

[yume]

Random fact: Now Gorbacheva is the oldest Russian woman to land quad (she's older than Zakharova).

I had to go check her age. How is she 18yo already?
I guess it's good news that quads can be landed at 18yo.

 

[AlexBreeze]

hopefully that was not the case in the FS

The FD was very good but she bombed twizzles.

 

[niks]

And back to men, the Belorussian skater has some attention-drawing quality to him He has potential and is interesting to watch; I liked his spin at the end

She is an extremely extraverted skater.

She has repeatedly mentioned that she likes the crowd to clap the whole way through and sing with her.

Based on almost every program she has ever skated she is a significant outlier in how extraverted she is. Like it's one of her most striking attributes.

Really, I don't see that at all. I'd consider Alisa Liu as an extraverted skater. I don't pick up the same vibe from Petrosian. Skaters are who they are and have different focus. I really want her to just be confident and competitive. She will be under insane pressure from an entire nation and the Russian press isn't always nice, but Tutberidze's team know how to deal with this pressure by now. Or they certainly should.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Really like Pavel's skating so I do hope they can keep their momentum into Nats and get into the National team

Reserves are very likely for them they just need to be clean.

Not sure about the main roster. They are 4th in the standings but it's considering
1) L/G WD
2) P/C bombed
3) Sh/G can do better

This skater is interesting. Some nice basics.

You don't see her singing with the music to the crowd holding her chest up or what is it? How can you watch Voila and consider it an introverted skater? I can't even think of a more extraverted Russian skater who scores over 220. Like ever. Kostornaia, I guess.

 

[AlexBreeze]

I guess it's good news that quads can be landed at 18yo.

This is definitely possible for ladies with strong legs and specific technique.

I think Nelyubova can restore her quad.

Fingers crossed.

He deserved a bit more pcs.

 

[elektra blue]

Gleva is making us an offer we can't refuse

 

[yume]

Was that a pop or a planned 3Lz-3T?
Loved that 3 jumps combo with the loop at the end.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Weird layout contest winner.

 

[Mathematician]

Was that a pop or a planned 3Lz-3T?

He plans 3-3 first.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Was that a pop or a planned 3Lz-3T?

He was training 4Lz but it didn't work but he decided to not change the jumping order. So planned.

 

[yume]

Is he sick? He even looks like he doesn't want to be there.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Is he sick? He even looks like he doesn't want to be there.

Something happened to his psychology.

 

[Pairluv]

Not my boy Gleb's competition this weekend. Sometimes it's hard to be a fan.

 

[elektra blue]

Is he sick? He even looks like he doesn't want to be there.

less anthusiasm than Cong Han

 

[Selivanovp]

Is he sick? He even looks like he doesn't want to be there.

Rumors are that he broke up with his girlfriend, so maybe that affects his current mood and shape.
