Marina Sarycheva fell from 4T but everything else was solid.

Oh poor girl Nazipova. she surely is capable skater but today there were too many mistakes, IMO lack of experience.

 

[Skating91]

Last group is going to be great. Sarycheva did well.

 

[flanker]

Utkina two 4Ts delivered. I praised her yesterday for smooth skating, today I praise her for jumps.

 

[flanker]

Diana Milto started with 4S+2T, then 3S (I suppose 4S was meant to be there), then 4S fall. Overaly good but little dull program.

 

[flanker]

Valeria Litvincheva had one of her best skates. The only objection would be the late end.

 

[Skating91]

Bravo Litvincheva

 

[Skating91]

Lidia davai!

 

[flanker]

3A+2T, 3A fall

, 3Lo ice touch. Later 3Lz step-out but sequence back-uped. Still not at full strength. Last time at the junior GP she did better, but I liked her anyway.

 

[Skating91]

Lidia made it hard to get on the podium

 

[Skating91]

Sarnovskaya was really good, but 4 jumps in the sequence out of nowhere

 

[flanker]

Some of Sarnovskaya's landings are suspicious (e.g. first 3A+2T) but overaly solid skate.

 

[Remilia]

Not perfect, but Sonya got the job done, good for her.
Also spotted who I think was Litvincheva comforting Lidia

 

[Remilia]

I've never heard of Utkina before. I will have to go back and watch her

She's really improving I thought she didn't have a triple axel or I could be confusing with Parsegova

 

[Skating91]

Here comes the best skater in the world

She's on!

 

[Skating91]

I don't remember the quad with a 3T before

 

[flanker]

Sofia Dzepka 4T+3T, 4S (may not be clean landing), 3S, 3F, 3Lz+3T, 3Lz+2A+2A, 3Lo. Nothing to add

 

[Remilia]

Just brilliant from Dzepka. If she shows up at nats with a 3-quad layout, I think the title is hers. Though, Lena's pcs is probably close enough to beat her with 4 clean ultra-c jumps

 

[Skating91]

Simply the best. The sharpest she has looked. Everything was easy today, maybe the news of competing internationally gave her an added boost.
