2025-26 Federation Cup Final

[flanker]

Arina Orekhovskaia delivered 4Lz and 4F, though I think both were not clean.

 

[flanker]

Edit: Yep, she has q and <. But still great.

 

[flanker]

Prineva now, I'm afraid about her stability as usually...

 

[EdgeCall]

She kept it together. Actually minus the fall it looked pretty good but she is not happy.

 

[flanker]

Alena Prineva improved her skating skills a lot, but her jumps are still insecure. She is sad, she surely believed she would deliver that 4Lz this time.

 

[EdgeCall]

Ouch, pop.

Oh dear, please don't sink yourself.

 

[flanker]

Vika 3A+2T, 1A, 4T step-out near fall, 3Lo, 4S fall, 3Lz+2A+2A, 3Lz+3T,. That pop threw her out of the focus.

 

[flanker]

Sofia Dzepka 4T+2T, 4T, 3S, 3F (balance troubles), 3Lz+3T, 3Lz+2A+2A, 3LO. She skates for victory.

 

[EdgeCall]

Sofia closes the deal. Outstanding performance and deserved win.

 

[flanker]

And we shall see Lidia and Sofia on one podium finally. Usually only one of them makes it, the other one messes when they are in one competition.

 

[EdgeCall]

Boys are starting.

 

[flanker]

Back from lunch.

Arseniy saved the reputation of the team today. He deserves recognition esp. for the moment when he popped to 2T but then did 4T as one of the last jumps.

 

[EdgeCall]

We have seen a few exposed spines recently but German sets a new record. Good skate though.

 

[EdgeCall]

Lazarev kills it.

 

[flanker]

And Lev Lazarev wins again.

 

[AlexBreeze]

First big medal for German

 

[Mathematician]

I just don't understand why Prineva didn't skate without ultra-c. It was so clear she could podium without it. This training camp is so bad. No other way to put it.

She landed seven clean triples. Her score wouldn't be any higher with no quad attempt that still gave her 4.75 pts.

Vika 3A+2T, 1A, 4T step-out near fall, 3Lo, 4S fall, 3Lz+2A+2A, 3Lz+3T,. That pop threw her out of the focus.

My heart broke for her. Just wasn't her day. Happy for little Sofia S., she is my little bundle of sunshine. lol. (She has always made me smile)

 

[Remilia]

Well, Dzepka will most likely win, then I also expect Lidia on the podium. And the last spot will depend on if Streltsova implodes as she's prone to doing

As for Prineva...well, yea. Smagina and Sarnovskaya are more likely to medal than her
