2025-26 Channel One Cup

I don't know. I'm looking at Alysa's skating scores and she butchered the Lutz in almost every skate. Across FS and SP this season it's like almost every single scorecard has a red Lutz. Amber constantly butchers the Lutz. It is also Kaori's worst jump. It is Adeliia's worst triple. Which of the top ladies right now has a better Lutz than loop? I just looked at Mone's Olympic card and the Lutz is red. Like the majority of these Olympic Lutzes are red. This is actually even a bigger gap than I thought. Every one of these girls hate the Lutz.

I don't watch intl comps so i can't answer that question. I only know that most ladies have the so called bad technique solely imputed to Russian ladies.

In Russia, maybe Mura?

Historically i only know Yuna Kim and Rika Kihira.
Zagi wasn't doing solo loops, only in combo. But her lutz was among her favorite jumps. The edge was correct till the last season when it was sometimes flat.

Zhenya's 4F is finally back!

 

[Mathematician]

Semenenko needs to be studied.

 

[flanker]

Can Vetlugin & Gumennik & Semenenko beat Kondratiuk & Ignatov & Fedorov by 40 pts?

Semenenko thinks so obviously...

 

[yume]

I love this audience, +5 GOE.

 

[EdgeCall]

Clean run, great skate!

Quad score Blue 4 : 0 Red

 

[Mathematician]

Zhenya inspired by his team-mate and former pair-mate Muravieva.

How did he get green for that though? Pretty bad trip.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Zhenya: God, I was thinking "I don't have triples, just ultra-c jumps!"

 

[Jeanie19]

Evgeni. Great outfit and program. Fantastic skate.

 

[AlexBreeze]

So far not too good points-wise because of UR and generally not too good landings. But it's obvious that Zhenya has stamina and everything to compete with 5 quads (actually he once went for six ones).

A bit of weird he's preparing 4Lz for every event but ends up not including it.

Davai Makar, make your wife proud!

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Though top seniors also tend to attempt the 3Lz more often than 3Lo that hurts 3Lz success rate.

I think the disparity between the number of solo 3Lz and 3Lo attempted was actually not that big, mostly because top skaters tend to do the 3Lz in combination way more often than the 3Lo.

The men's numbers would be interesting too, but with quads being commonplace in Seniors, many of the guys actually don't end up doing any Loops at all.

 

[Mathematician]

Makar has had some serious trouble with spins this season...

 

[EdgeCall]

Quad score Blue 4 : 4 Red (sort of)

 

[Jeanie19]

Makar. Really nice program. Good skate.

 

[Mathematician]

Medvedeva: "So, you like spins, Makar?"
Makar: "Yes, yesterday I did more than anyone—didn't you see?"
Medvedeva: "Well, I guess you left them all there yesterday..."

 

[AlexBreeze]

Makar has had some serious trouble with spins this season...

Entire career.

 

[flanker]

Makar delivered jumps, but lost stamina as usually, his spins at the end were terrible.

 

[yume]

The first two quads were so beautiful. But as usual, Makar's battery is charged to 70% only.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Entire career.
