2019-20 Russian Ladies' Figure Skating

[Mathman]

They want to talk about Alysa - they go in U.S. Ladies thread. It's obvious to me.

No, no, we go to the U.S. Ladies thread to talk about how much we like Kostornaia.

 

[Orlov]

No, no, we go to the U.S. Ladies thread to talk about how much we like Kostornaia.

I hope you understand that this was a demonstration

 

[ancientpeas]

Not only PCS, their GOEs were very similar, too.

It's like Oprah and her cars.

"You get a 7.75 and you get a 7.75 and you get a 7.75!"

I talk about how much I like Aliona in the what are you watching on TV now thread in Le Cafe. Why are you interneting wrong Mathman?

This gem was posted in Anna's fanfest:

10 years old with 0 quads and so much musicality.

More artist than jumping bean in my books, and that artistry has only improved with time. Just so happens that she also has quads now.

She has so much personality and expressiveness throughout the entire program, but the amount of sass she has just entering her start pose kills me. It's so extra to start performing before the music even begins

So, tomorrow the Wiki will be updated again. Eventually...

Who will be 1st to attempt 4F is defined by this evening's draw.
If more than one succeeded, the 1st 4F will be shared.

I was just thinking about this! Also up for grabs is "first senior lady to land a quad and 3A in a competition". Sasha will be battling Rika for this one, and it could depend on start orders just like 4F. Sasha will also be racing herself to beat her own quad recored. By two . And of course, if we're lucky we'll see some WRs broken .

 

[Arbitrary]

The main question who will be the first one without doubles?
This is quite an achievement...

Depending on what happens in the Goldenen Spin ladies FS Liza might be the one to do it!

I do wish there was a Livestream, what are doing Zagreb?!

Kamila's interview after SP:

Among other things she definitely confirms she won't jump quads.

 

[Edwin]

Dar’ya Usachyova last to skate in the finals this afternoon.

A true test of character, composure and skill.

That is a relief in a way but still don't understand why she's taking the risk competing at all.

 

[katymay]

I'm calling it now: I think Anna S. is going to win the Grand Prix (based on practices).

But I don't want to read the posts about not of interest to me skater. For this purpose, and was made a division of forum topic - so we saved time and read about those who are interesting to us. Would be okay if it was once or twice, sporadically. But it's CONSTANT. And I feel in this violation of my rights - I cannot enjoy forum fully from for this.

If they wanna compare - here thread especially for this, or here.

At least, answer me a simple question - why those who want to compare Alysa with Russian girls compare here, and not in U.S. Ladies thread? Go into 2019-20 U.S. Ladies Figure Skating and compare there. They want to talk about Alysa - they go in U.S. Ladies thread. It's obvious to me.

Violation of your rights?

Calm down there...that is a bit much?

I see nothing wrong with including non-Russian skaters briefly in discussions of competitions where those skaters are involved and comparable to our Russians.

I don't see the problem in discussing if our Russians should be ahead of her or not or if they can beat Alysa overall today.

I don't see a problem in a short comment amongst that discussion saying you like other skaters not from Russia.

The other country threads do mention skaters not from those countries.

Just because this is the Russian ladies thread it doesn't mean we have to pretend they are the only ones we have to speak about during international competitions.

I simply gave my opinion on the SP results and so did others. How is that in any way a problem?

it makes no sense at all she should be resting up for junior Nationals and Junior worlds. I'm sure Russia could have sent a substitute for KV right? Besides I don't want her competing against Alysa unless she can do her entire program and give herself a real chance to beat the favourite Liu.

I think I was able to calm Orlov down last night. Sorry to see him so upset about this though. But I also think it's okay once in awhile to discuss Alysa and here because of the competition with Kamila and the other Russinas.
I think we will see a different Orlov today. With all the Russians at the Grand Prix final in juniors and seniors there'll be a lot of Russian figure skating it talk about.

I asked a simple question, right? Why are you discussing Alysa in the context of her confrontation with Russian girls here, and not in the American thread?
You are discussing exactly about Alysa, she is the subject of your reasoning (and Russian girls are just some force that opposes her). Okey it's your right, i don't argue with that. But for me it's obvious that in this case the discussion should go in the American thread. It amazes me how you can not understand such a simple idea.

Any confrontation happened?
Fistfight or just verbal?

I'm beginning to warm up to Vasilieva skating now. She is a very powerful skater and I like that. I used to think that she lacked in charisma but now I think she makes up for it in real stamina. I really enjoyed her today.

Her speed across the ice is phenomenal.

Google translate russian word "противостояние" (in my original message) use word "confrontation". Word "противостояние" literally translate "stand on against each other". In this context it's like "vs".
