2017 Russian Nationals Ladies SP

[Idontsk8]

70.19 is not too high at a nationals...

Both jumps in Elena's combo looked UR to me in replay, let's see when the protocols come out.

Poor camera placements, you can't see anything at all when they get to the far side.

Exactly, and I am surprised because Russian fs cameramen are probably the bests on the world. At least at CoR.

80

Sima
ha I didnt realize the irony of her skating after Med until now I wonder if they still talk

 

[EdgeCall]

80.08.

 

[cathlen]

9.5 for SS? What is she? Carolina Kostner?

 

[silverfoxes]

Polina out, Yulia out, Anna probably out too. If the Russian fed arranged a special event for them they alone would sell quite a few tickets.

There is the Cup of Russia final, hopefully Anna's not seriously injured and will be able to go there to qualify for Euros/Worlds. Polina is preparing for junior nats.

Well they haven't done that weird thing where they film the spins from the ceiling so I'll give them props for that.

Here's Sima with a nice blue dress that also matches the Christmas trees

Over 80...ridiculous scoring. :roll9:

 

[moriel]

80.08.

Well, she is not even overscored compared to how international judges score her.

Medvedeve does NOT break Yuna Kim's absolute SP record (Yuna had like 80.5 at 2013 Nats)

She's not wearing the white gloves!

 

[Totentanz]

Solid skating from Sima - no triple triple but she was clean. Nice to see her skating clean.

 

[randomfan]

Pretty good skate from Sima. I expect 63-65?

Edit: 59...I'm very off

 

[Tolstoj]

Not bad Sima but 3-3 is so important to compete with such a crowd field.

Around 60?

Tell me more. Did something happen in Juniors before I started watching them? Was the rivalry really intense?

Or, is it just that Sima is annoyed that the Fed kept her in Juniors when Zhenya was moved up to Seniors?

Very nice from Sima, quite elegant. I hope she can up her tech soon.

 

[sabinfire]

Scoring taking forever for Sima...
