2020-21 Russian Nationals: Ladies' Short Program

[skylark]

Gorgeous program by Elizaveta! I love her expressiveness. The character of the music, she got it perfectly!

Not sure whether those reactions by Plushenko are helping or hurting Sasha

hurting I would say

he should have learned from his coach how to behave in K&C

Great from Elizaveta N. Hope she gets the score she deserves.

Nugumanova’s loop loop looked clean to me! Don’t butcher her, judges!!! And give her the PCS, she deserves them.

About Sasha: I guess they called her 3F edge again? If so, that‘s quite the joke, considering they didn‘t bat an eyelash at Anna‘s flutz... And don‘t get me wrong, Sasha was definitely overscored but that this short (which is miles better) is ranked behind last years is just weird. Especially when you have skaters score 37 in PCS with a fall. Plushenko needs to be more classy (honestly, what does he think he’s achieving by acting like this?!) but the scores are definitely not right.

No URs called on her jumps. Good for her

 

[Tyranid]

Plushy looks quite unhappy with that score.... oh dear.

Plushy needs to get his arrogance checked. We all know that that you are the best Russian make skater of the 21'st century but jeez, descend from the heavens! You are still a newbie coach.

Judges were lenient

 

[Jontor]

WOW! Great score by Nugumanova!

Well deserved!

 

[TripleAxelQueens3]

LIZA NOT BEING UNDERSCORED? Yes!!!!

 

[Vandevska]

So happy! I'm happy for her too!

 

[Hyena]

Aw, great score for Nugumanova!

 

[flanker]

Go Daria!

Sasha has come so far artistically - I also don’t agree with her scores.

Nobody half objective would agree with the relative scores of the top three ladies so far, but I think Plushenko is making it worse. He should take a page out of Mishin's book and practice his poker face. The drama he creates will not help Sasha. (And I am saying this as a huge, long-time Plushy fan).

 

[Anni234]

Very happy for Nugumanova, a good score for her and she looked so happy

 

[Anni234]

Oh wow, freak mistake by Daria

 

[YuBluByMe]

Did she just stumble or am I just sleep-deprived?

 

[chasingneverland]

Oh no..it was going sooo well. She's stunning. She still should be fine though.

Whoops Daria don’t fall over on your Ina Bauer! Well done otherwise.
