2025-26 Russian Nationals Women's Free Skate

I'm kind of afraid to watch the final group.
Me too...

They really dragged Mura. I don't have a problem with Dina even though she should be behind Kamilla, because they can't rob Dina as well by putting her in the 50's. But Kamilla needed to be a few points higher for PCS. No worse than Kulikova.
I think closer to 63-64 is fair for Nelyubova. I agree she's similar to Kulikova but a little less refined and she does have more empty moments especially preparing for the 3A. I would probably drop Sinitsyna a tiny bit for an imperfect skate as well.

Since Mura got blatantly robbed on spin levels I think the placements are fine as is all things considered. I would put Dina below Nelyubova too considering her tech wasn't perfect.
 
If the 3A were rotated .. only russia can have the luxury to put skaters with 3A not in first (because at this competition I'm beginnig to think that the 3A is just a "common" jump ... because we aren't even in the top and at least 3( or more?) landed it ...

Mura's score is fair, imo. Dina's score is as well, I'd maybe even go a little lower, but not much. The only one of these scores I don't find fair is Kamilla's. I'd give her 2-3 points higher in PCS. Higher than Kulikova in Skating Skills, but lower in presentation and composition, as Kulikova's program is quite complex in terms of transitions.
 
The second part is music from a group from Galicia north of spain ( tradicional + electronic) .. and with a little of imagination we can say that the dress is more like a elegant version of the group ( they sing that song with suits with black and gold)

I just looked Tanxugueiras up, and I see what you mean!

This type of music style mash-ups always leaves me torn. Because, generally speaking, I tend to love traditional music, but I don't like electronic music. So, I don't know how to feel about it.

In this programme, I don't think it really fitted with the music in the first half. But, it might work better in a programme with other music from the same group.

Thank you for this extra insight. :bow: :clap: :points:

:thank:

Yes, Elisova landed two 3As, and she is only 8th at the moment, and will probably finish 14th.
