2020 Cup of Russia: Stage I

[flanker]

Gosh, electrical appliances inspection just when Sofia's score was announced, I couldn't even celebrate properly

How can the other girls compete?! I'd be feeling pretty doomed, but then I am a wuss.

ice is slippery, anything can happen and you can always upgrade your tech

 

[flanker]

you can bet she has one

Yes, 4T. She delivered two in the russian junior championships. Recently at Moscow cup she landed one, unclean, but that was probably a fluke.

I'm glad I can read Russian.. those comments on YT are sometimes fun to read.... "When is Trusova?"..... "Trusova WON'T BE!"....

Wow A 3A like Aliona's, a Charlotte spiral like Alina's and a cantilever like Sasha's! Should we be afraid?!

Everything that comes around goes around. Sasha, Anna Aliona replaced Alina, Zhenya etc. Now the Sophias' S and A, Kamila, Viktoria and a host of other 12/13 year olds are moving up to replace Sasha Anna and Aliona. And many of them are throwing 3A's in the SP.

 

[katymay]

Is that Sofia A then? A combination of all the best elements? Does she have a quad too?

Yes, as does her primary competition, Sofia S.

I'm not so sure. I mean for some maybe, but I imagine most can't learn a quad and a 3A just due to physique and stuff like that.

Bummer, I like the original 3 As and now they're already on the way out?! Ladies figure skating is a cruel sport

They always do that, often on streams for Men's or dance.

"Where's Anna S?!"

"Not in the pairs stream for 4CCs that's for sure!"

nothing has been said yet. you don't know what future holds and, as i said, anything can happen, including growth spurts, coaching changes, loss of interest, injuries and whatsoever

I swear I just heard the announcer say Maxim Kovtun and now I'm wondering why!

 

[Azikin]

That was a nice surprise.

 

[flanker]

Definitely nice skate from Valeria (truly nice name BTW, as there was a talk about it before ).

he just said Gabriella papadakis, who knows why

 

[anonymoose_au]

Obviously because of the Shape of You does that mean Maxim K skated to Egyptian disco?! This I gotta see!
