2020-21 Russian Ladies' Figure Skating

[Giltedge]

So many young talents on the ice today.
Once again Rita Bazyliuk (TT) caught my attention. Secure jumps, spins, good coverage of the ice, pleasing impression. 6th overall after the SP.

I like that Daniil has been using a lot of Disney movie soundtracks for novices, I can imagine it’s nice for a kid to skate to a music from a movie you have just watched and enjoyed

I'd like to mention Alyona Krivonosova too. To me her perfomance was the best today

Yes, a super skate. Alёna is not a skater I had noticed before.

She's lying in 7th place (unfortunate deduction in TES), but she is actually leading the entire 50-strong field in PCS!


Edit: after watching some more, I have add... wow!

Who distracted the camera man?

Is there really no fan page for Mariia?! I have delved deep and cannot find one.

No fanpage! Yeah, that's a crime!

I have always liked Maria, and this year I just love her more, her programs are soo out there and different and just simply - very cool.

Some favourite moments with Maria in her free skate:

Looking cool, and digging the background music before entering the rink.

I usually don't care about the ladies outfits. For all I care they might as well skate in bunny suits. But Maria here has the perfect dress, and those black hands is just exquisite. Totally Maleficent.

OK, I will stop obsessing now

PS. I was also glad that I re-united with an old favourite brit-pop song from the 90s during the warmup. I had forgotten that one, and I had to Shazam it.

I wonder why there are 6 dancing teams and only 4 pairs?

 

[Greengemmonster]

Alina & Yevgeniya will be captains of the teams in the upcoming Team competition.

Omg is this for real!?

Well there is nothing quite like the glitz and glamour of those two.

 

[flanker]

Alina & Yevgeniya will be captains of the teams in the upcoming Team competition.

Well, it surely brings attention, but somehow "I've got a bad feeling about this mission."

 

[Mawwerg]

Cool idea! Hope the virus will not interfere and the event will go smooth.

What is this "Jumping Festival" scheduled for Friday the 5th.

 

[Azikin]

Who distracted the camera man?

LOL, she was too quick for him, obviously. Anyway, impressive spins and speed..

 

[JazzUp]

What is this "Jumping Festival" scheduled for Friday the 5th.

it's either
a) all of the participants will show off their jumping skills
or
b) they'll all perform

Spoiler: this :)

or
с) will show off their jumping skills while that ^ plays

1TV channel knows how to get their views, by re-hashing 2018 Olympics feelings.

Something more positive. Apollinaria dancing again with the TT:

The prize fund of the event is around 140k USD, 10 mln roubles.
Channel 1 really going all in on this one!

[Fluture]

Yeah, that‘s another way to get views. Make the fans of the two most well known stars watch despite them not competing.

The only thing that interests me now, though: Will we get to see them skate? Not competitively but is there an exhibition or something like that?
