2020 Cup of Russia: Stage IV

[CrazyKittenLady]

Oh dear, it seems I missed Nastia, but at least I am in time for the grand finale. Who decided to have the most interesting skating competition this season (aka CoR) on a Monday anyway?

Nice save on the 3Lz from Tsibinova though!

I’m thinking of Alexia Paganini..,

This cut sounds so similar to Alexia Paganini’s

Hugging the skaters with the mask on doesn´t seem like a good idea.

Skaters and coaches probably spend as much time together as they do with their immediate family, I can understand them taking the approach that they are in close contact all the time so the mask does little to protect them.

Surprisingly enough, this is my first time watching Tsibinova and i actually really enjoy her skating! It's very fast but full of flow.

there's a jaz cover for everything, even black hole sun

Nice skate from Ksenia, but somehow it doesn't really ignite? What is missing?

 

[Jontor]

WOW. Tsibinova clean too. These girls are really bringing it. Might be bad news for Konstantinova and Nugumanova...

 

[Azikin]

hopefully next group will be also this good

Makes me think of Chris Cornell and makes me wanna cry

Good nerves in the Russian women today

BTW when we see the audience here, I'm curious whether the Rostelecom will be with the audience or without (=I'm not sure whether there are not ISU internal regulations that would forbid the audience).

I was thinking more that they should take the mask off when they hug, because isn´t the outside of the mask the most dirty thing?

when they do a Linkin Park jaz cover will be my turn to cry

 

[Totentanz]

Tsibinova's skate was enjoyable! I'm happy that all ladies skated somewhat clean so far (except maybe the 1st skater). I liked Tarakanova's skate the most

 

[norwegianfairytale]

What a group of skaters, this is going to be soo exciting

Aliona smiling big....

 

[elektra blue]

this year Sambo 70 doesn't get a dress right

 

[flanker]

Hey, who is interested in ugly Volkov, I wanna see the ladies.

 

[sparklestan]

Yay Ksenia!! I’m happy she’s in the lead! Very powerful skate from Tarakanova earlier- good for her!
