2018-19 Russian Ladies' figure skating

[Tolstoj]

Might be zero. Or one. I can see her reserving the quads for the final.

She tried 4S all the time last season so i don't see her going back to only triples now, the question is more whether she will land all of them and if not how that will affect the rest of the program.

Based on scores from the events so far i'm not expecting big surprises, but technically if Trusova makes like 2 mistakes (let's say two falls on the quads), and Sinitsyna skates clean she could aim at the gold given her contents, but i'm also not sure how consistent is Sinitsyna with that program.

Her free seems to be fine, but the combo in the short has been iffy (fine at test skates, downgraded (and possibly fell? I don't remember)) at the local comp the week of Bratislava

 

[Elana]

how many quads Sasha will attempt at the next JGP? thats the main question now

Her 4T is so solid that she can do it from a cantilever. She, unlike Anna and Alena, can risk adding in the quad lutz because even if she messes it up, she still has security points from 2 other quads. Also she landed all her quads easily at test skates and is super gutsy, it a different situation than the other girls, I would be more shocked if she didn't do three. Plus she wants to break records, first lady to land 4lz, first lady to do 3 quads, first lady to land a quad in combo!

Agreed, Trusova is the last person I expect to play it safe. Last season, even when her quad wasn't stable at all she was attempting it in EX and all just because.

 

[MalAssada]

Indeed. I wouldn't be surprised if Trusova zayaked quads for the sake of it.

Sima and Anastasiia are competing this week and I’m praying for videos to appear. That would be the perfect icing on a Tiny Boss themed cake

Go Everyone

 

[Bluediamonds09]

I’m wondering if Tsurskaya will have soft airy sotskova-type music or something else. Maybe she’ll have a warhorse like Turandot or Danse Macabre or something. We really don’t know anything. I cannot even guess what music she’ll have.

As for Nugumanova, I can’t guess about her music either! But in the past she’s already had a Spanish program and a Swan Lake so we can count those out.

No. No! NO she’s too good for that

 

[Bluediamonds09]

No. No! NO she’s too good for that

We really have no idea what Tsurskaya will skate to but it could be a soft sounding piece. It just might be.

What's the event?

What's the event?

Sima is st St Petersburg Cup (Nugamanova too) and Anastasiia Gubanova is at Moscow Open Championship.

 

[hippomoomin]

Sima is st St Petersburg Cup (Nugamanova too) and Anastasiia Gubanova is at Moscow Open Championship.

Looking forward to their videos.

 

[Spirals for Miles]

Sima is st St Petersburg Cup (Nugamanova too) and Anastasiia Gubanova is at Moscow Open Championship.

I think both of those usually have videos, right? And protocols, unlike the Panova Cup a couple of weeks ago.
Also, aren't JGP Slovenia entries supposed to be out by now?

 

[dante]

Indeed. I wouldn't be surprised if Trusova zayaked quads for the sake of it.

Or medvedeved it.

 

[moriel]

Or medvedeved it.

or both, she could go for a 4T-4T-4T maybe

Polina Tsurskaya.
SP music: "And the Waltz Goes on" by Anthony Hopkins
FP music: "Leningrad" by William Joseph; "Prodigy" by Kotaro Nakagawa; "Live Or Die" by X-RayDog.

so happy to finally have news on her programs! I hope she kills it this season now that she's seemingly in a better place for herself. She's gonna be at test skates this 9th right?

The William Joseph who was the composer of Kostornaya's FS last season?

Yes, that's him! Yulia Lipnitskaya skated to Leningrad back then https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2N7q76-EOMw
