2020-21 Russian Nationals: Ladies' Short Program

Okay, I take it... for now. Happy for Anna, but I think Sasha got a bit short changed. Liza can always step up a gear and Sasha is a fighter.

I'm sure today's ladies show will cause many talks once again, but I'm glad I remained. Thanks Elektra for the support and cheering me up, you deserve the title "first mummy of the figure skating"

Nugu in top group tomorrow!

Plagued by URs throughout her whole career; let's wish her a good FS.

For me the two last Elizavetas were the most pleasant to watch, so lovely presentations.

My 13-hour figure skating marathon comes to and end. I gots to sleep. Peace, y’all. I’m out!

I would probably give Sasha higher score as well, about 77-78.

Waiting for the protocols.

Footballers do that during matches.

And like footballers figure skaters are athletes too but fans always want to put them in bubble wrap all the time.

They always moan about the lack of respect skating gets as a sport yet don't treat them like athletes half the time themselves. They aren't porcelain dolls

Honestly I can't understand Sasha's score.

KV overrated. Dasha too.

 

[eterialskating]

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

What a clownery that judging is.

LOL the bitterness is shining through. Liza also has questionable edge on her flip so why are you giving her as a standard. Give it up. Valieva actually has proper edge in her lutz if you care to notice. Anna has a flat edge. Daria is probably a flutz but one can you do. Judges just love Eteri girls haha!

ahaha thanks and you're welcome! you did the same for me when i needed it, it was the least i could do

I would probably give Sasha higher score as well, 77-78 probably.

I don't know, she grew up a bit but she still looks like a child in comparison to others and that music doesn't suit her at all.. not to mention that rude blonde coach, LOL...

 

[LadyB]

Pairs tomorrow, can't wait!!!
Have a great eve/sleep well, see yous later!

 

[EdgeCall]

Sweet dreams!

Good shout!

 

[Skatefan15]

Of course Sasha is the only skater in the top 5 that gets an edge (!) call. Also Daria’s GOE for her lutz is way too high and too close to Liza T.

 

[AlimaAsh]

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.

People reading the thread, please keep in mind that my translation was not really accurate! I am linking a more accurate translation on what she said here. I am sorry for causing people to be worried about what she said, she was definitely saying that in a joking manner after first saying that yes, she thinks she will have energy tomorrow. I don’t have a strong opinion about smelling salts because I don’t really know much about them, but I recognise she was definitely exhausted in quite a scary way.

I rewatched the part with the interview, and I think I translated a bit wonkily. So I apologise. When the interviewer asked if she will have enough energy, she said that “yes of course... well, the most important thing is to have faith”. Something like that

It’s always nice to say that Sasha is a fighter and has lots of quads and can make it up in the free, but the point is she shouldn’t HAVE to, when she puts out just the quality that others have in the short. I mean ffs if Sasha’s flip is ! then Daria’s Lz should be e. At least there is a huge distinction between Sasha’s flip and lz edge. Daria’s flip and lz edges look practically identical
