just 2A but nice and clean run

 

[EdgeCall]

Clean run. Great skate by Maria.

And it's bizarre how a song called "Feeling Good" can make me feel bad.

 

[Jeanie19]

Maria. Elegant dress. Good program and a great skate.

 

[Pairluv]

I swear I see some Pogo moves with Maria. I hope she watched enough Pogosplats as a kid to know how to avoid them.

 

[elektra blue]

What made you expect this? Did I miss something?

i remember her jumping it at the stages, is it my head playing games as usual? should i get checked? (yes i should but not because of my bad memory )

 

[flanker]

Zakharova well done. She disappeared for two years but now she belongs among the top.

Definitely your head playing games, sister. She jumps 2 4Ts though.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Masha Z.'s jumps are so explosive and she's grown into a very mature skater. Some of the landings scared me momentarily, because of her free leg but everything turned out great.

 

[elektra blue]

Anna davaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaai

 

[EdgeCall]

Enter the Queen of Saint Petersburg.

 

[KhinSuShein]

bravo Maria !!

 

[AlexBreeze]

Much higher score for Masha than at the stages.

Glad I got to see Maria Zakharova (MOS) before leaving to eat.

That was so hot!

She was great!

That said, I am in two minds about the version of the song. For example, the stuck record section during the Sit Spin did annoy me.

But, on the whole, I loved it!

She goes into the lead.

And this is where I leave watching LIVE to go to eat.

I'll pause both streams and hope they both work.

All the best to those still to skate.

I love Frolova. She should be an inspiration to all the younger skaters. Persevere and grow and see what you can become.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

I do think Masha absolutely deserved a 70+ score, but I do wonder if she would have gotten it if she had skated in the earlier groups considering who didn't get 70+ scores.

 

[elektra blue]

solid skate, did she rotate everything?

 

[EdgeCall]

Judges, cough up all your PCS, or else.

 

[Mathematician]

I think Anna is a little better than stages. TES about the same (38s every time) but I would expect slightly more PCS (34s) (she earned 33s before). I think 72-73 is fair?

That will go to the lead but the spins might be reviewed and make it closer. She looks back in form. Got in better shape than the GP stages.
