2020-21 Russian Nationals: Ladies' Free Skate

[CrazyKittenLady]

That was a beautiful Euler jump in the replay from Nastya. The Eulers often look more like stumbles to me, but Nastya makes it graceful!

Yes, and he was the tech controller in the SP as well of course. Which makes the selective tech calls limited to all teams besides one even more sad since he is ISU's vice president... I don't think he should be judging at all tbh. But oh well.

I completely forgot he was on the judging panel! Yesterday’s calls suddenly makes a lot more sense lol. I agree that he shouldn’t be allowed to judge.

The coaches' insert is a good idea. ISU should consider adopting this.

Tarakanova just really needs to figure out how to have "presentation". Skating fast around the ice, throwing arms randomly with no purpose is boring to watch. I don't remember anything about her program, and I just saw it four minutes ago. If she is determined to comeback, she needs to understand she won't be competitive unless she learns to interpret music, even just a little.

Looks like Kostina left her triple+triples back at Stage Five.

Won't be enough to climb I'm afraid.

I think that depends, her last season with Eteri her programs had the same presentation but it worked much better

The medalists box needs to go, 1 skater in and we already have tears.

Kostina. Nice skate.

 

[Skatefan15]

Awe Anastasia T crying

 

[Fluture]

Stop filming these kids when they‘re crying! Nastya looking so sad‘s breaking my heart.

kostina did well, though. Good debut.

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

I'd rather disagree with that, but now is not the time to discuss it. Let's watch the competition.

Nice skate from Valeria, although I think you need a stronger personality to interpret this song well. It's quite demanding.

stop showing Tarakanova in tears, please

 

[rollerblade]

Her name is pronounced Fralova?
How can I tell which 'o' is pronounced as 'a'? Is there a cheat sheet?

Yeah, that's a shame, isn't it? But so telling...

 

[Yuzuruu]

redemption skate for Anna, how nice! I enjoyed that very much

 

[elektra blue]

Frolova is nice and talented but she just does nothing to me.

 

[Jontor]

Yes Anna! Great skate!

I wonder if that will be enough to climb into the top 10?

 

[Jeanie19]

Anna. I love her dress and this program is so elegant.
