2020 Cup of Russia: Stage I

[Ichatdelune]

Isn't that Daria Usacheva's dress for Je Suis Malade?

No more quads happening today

She grew much taller so jumping issues have to follow, I guess

I'm sorry, I'm left cold

 

[Jontor]

Maiia, that was very shaky!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Shcherbakova just broke Trusova's Russian Cup record from two years ago (232 points).

I feel like Sasha will take that as a challenge

Aww poor Maia that TES didn't look very good at all.

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Oh dear, Anna F. put the pressure on and poor Maia faltered.

 

[Totentanz]

Could Maiia be the first presentation-better-than-jumps production of this school?

She shows a lot of personality on the ice. Maybe more than Anna S. Loving her fierceness.

I hope she can get consistent with jumps and become the next big thing in FS.

 

[flanker]

Maiia, leave that behind, you are a good skater.

Ouch, some scary falls from Maiia. I like her spins though and this program has potential.

 

[elektra blue]

i didn't do the maths but it feels a bit like Talalaikina wuzrobbed

 

[anonymoose_au]

Sergei D and plushies are like my favourite thing.

Is that a very rotund moose he's holding?!

Oh wow Anna Fro got silver, well done!

Anna S carried that away.

 

[flanker]

It's sad, because Maiia's 4S from the training looks so strong.

When is the next cup? And who is for sure signed up? Alena or Alexandra? Liza? Sofia?

 

[Totentanz]

Anna has been chosen by the Russian federation to be their poster girl, she isn't going to get any calls with the national judges. She is lovely so I don't have any hard feelings toward her, but if I was Anna F. or Maria T I would upset that I didn't get the same treatment... shame on the judges

She is the one to bet for Russian fed. She was already successful and didn't make any coaching changes. Eteri's school is known for consistency. Who will be their olympic gold candidate if coaching changes fail for the others? They even started to promote Valieva.

When is the next cup? And who is for sure signed up? Alena or Alexandra? Liza? Sofia?

2nd stage of the Cup takes place in Moscow, 10-13 October.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Now director-person I think it's common politeness not to leave the falls in the highlights package. I mean come on

Thank you. Ok, so it´s a while.

 

[Kittosuni]

Why is Shcherbakova doing a quad flip instead of a lutz? I would assume she will do her most comfortable quad especially this early season then just add the flip later this season when her stamina is better.

That seems like such a long time away! I'm sure it'll sneak up on us though.

I wonder if Med will be going to it? She originally signed up for the first two cup events right?

 

[elektra blue]

2nd stage of the Cup takes place in Moscow, 10-13 October.

who's going to be there?

 

[anonymoose_au]

Also did Danny G just mouth "For F- sake" there?! Or was it something in Russian?
