2026 World Figure Skating Championships | Women's Short Program

[flanker]

Nargiz unfortunately messed the start of her program. I remember her beginnings as junior when she still reprezented Germany, she looked primnising, but can't make her breakthrough still

Always love to see a 3Lo + 3Lo Combo

Drones following the skaters while they are on the ice. It was bad enough having a person with a camera. But this is going too far.

I groaned as soon as the drone video came up. It's not even good quality video! At least they aren't using it for the actual skates...

one of the best performances from Anastasia i think

 

[EdgeCall]

Beautiful! Passionate skate. She is happy.

 

[Karoltyna]

Possible Q score?

 

[Sabsi]

Great job Anastasia

 

[FlossieH]

That was probably the best skate I've seen from Gracheva. I'm not sure about the rotation on the combo, and she may have picked up a time violation at the end.

Anastasia. Pretty dress. Lovely program that she choreographed. Really nice skate.

 

[bartlebooth]

She's so happy!

 

[Ares]

That 2nd 3Lo in a combination was very clearly underrotated by Gracheva.

Hi hi, I've been missing you all!! I've had a really crap couple of days, so glad there's skating on to lift my mood.

First three skaters were bringing it!! Despite some mistakes made, all their skates were enjoyable, esp Nargiz's split slide

 

[auser]

Aww. Anastasia looked so happy at the finish.

Anastasia GRACHEVA (MDA) wearing a beautiful deep purple dress. (And I bet me saying that has now put the intro to "Smoke On The Water" into everybody's heads! )

The music is beautiful, but it's a month late. "February" by Leunid Levashkevich.

Skating was beautiful too.

I don't remember seeing this programme before. Is it one of the new ones that was being talked about earlier?

She is really nervous waiting for her scores.

She goes into 2nd position.

Go Niki

 

[ruffledgrouse]

A jump in quality with Anastasia!

...second again? Man, I'm really bad at judging

 

[FlossieH]

I thought she would go above Vrankova, even with the rotation issue.

leave the crap days behind you, we're here together to enjoy skating, wuzzrobbings and be stupid

 

[elektra blue]

don't sink, Niki

don't sink, Niki

Unfortunately "going south" is not the right path this time.

Decent skate for an almost 30-year old.
