2020-21 Russian Nationals: Ladies' Short Program

[CrazyKittenLady]

I intend to stay away from scoring disputes as far as possible, in fact I'm going to bed after Liza T skates

Then you are at the wrong event

 

[Ichatdelune]

So was it 1:43 am eyes or did she stumble right after she did her knee slide

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Liza! What a warrior indeed, Ted!

 

[skylark]

So great to see a 23-year-old skating as a woman and showing the skinny 14-year-olds what figure skating is. Well done, Liza!

 

[SXTN]

Did Eteri buy all the judges? Usacheva ahead of Trusova and her skaters' flutzes received more GOE than Liza's.

What a clownery that judging is.

 

[chasingneverland]

Liza is fierce and a great competitor, but her costumes I just never get

Yeah, I love her for who she is. For her tenacity, jumps, and determination, but I always dislike her packaging. But it's her. lol.

 

[snowflake]

Mishin loves Liza. I love how he loves her.

 

[bigsisjiejie]

Brave effort from Tuk. On the elements she does well, she doesn't get the GOE she deserves. They'll hold her down below the Eteri Top 3. Something just feels pre-programmed with all the scores.

 

[flanker]

What is even more scary is that her coaches had to give her smelling salts during the warm-up. If a skater needs smelling salts in order to be able to skate and not to faint and can hardly breathe after a skate they should never be allowed to compete. Irresponsible behavior from the adults.

Footballers do that during matches.

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Pfft!

 

[Novalis]

Nugu in top group tomorrow!

 

[Tyranid]

Liza .... Gets a deduction for late stat.

What a great SP still.

 

[elektra blue]

guys, please try to behave, you have the russian ladies thread for spilling blood. can we just keep the conversation civil here?

 

[Skatefan15]

Can’t WAIT to see the protocols

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Well Merry Christmas...

 

[Fluture]

Well, Mishin doesn‘t know how to wear a mask but he has the pokerface game perfected!


Also. I‘ll wait with the saltiness for the RLT.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Okay so that's the cue for me to go to bed, I have no idea how I'm going to do this again tomorrow but I'll have to manage. See y'all, thanks for keeping me company

Doesn't bode well for her ability to skate a demanding, full free program 24 hours from now.

I am always surprised at how tiny Liza is in person. I respect her so much for keeping up with the younger girls. Unfortunately the lack of transitions is glaring for me. She has lovely arm moves, a lot of presence. This program works so much better when she is healthy.

 

[chasingneverland]

Small stumble as well and she looks tired too. Not as tired as Anna but...still not completely healthy either.

Ugh, I hate how much pressure these girls are under and skating hurt and recovering still (Sasha, Anna, and Liza). It also makes me concerned for Evgenia and Alena. How sick did they get that the same coaching teams didn't get them to compete? Also, so much pressure even on the babies.
