2021-22 Russian Women's Figure Skating

[Supernovaimplosion]

Skate America has a terrible schedule for the central Europe, everything takes place at night. This weekend will be cruel.

Sometimes, I like to sleep through competitions of skaters I really like to avoid the stress of watching them Once I know the results, I can enjoy their performance a lot more. If you sleep through SA, you can avoid stress every time Sasha jumps which may be better for your health.

Skate Canada is even worse.

I’ll remember all you people that live in Europe that are complaining now when I’m trying to watch Olympic skating at ungodly hours. Haha

Me too! Skate America and Skate Canada are the only two weekends this entire season where I don't have to wake up at ridiculous times and I'm going to fully enjoy it while it lasts

I know. It’s crazy.

And I also find that any competition in Japan is scheduled for the straight up middle of the night here in the US. I’ll be watching NHK and the GPF at 2 am.

Yeah, but there’s always something thrilling about watching the competition live.

No one knows what going to happen, everyone is live posting/commentating/ tweeting, everything is unfolding before your eyes.

It’s drives you mad, but it’s so, so much fun.

Agree fully. I get SO nervous when my faves are competing but I love it! Even when I can't watch live, I don't check scores and I avoid social media like the plague so I don't get spoiled before I can go back and watch There's nothing like watching live, in my opinion (even when it's the middle of the night and I'm sleep deprived, which is the case for most competitions).

What about Alysa beating Valieva for the gold, or that dream died already?

Da died.

I don't know what's going to happen other than KV will probably win it when it but I hope it's like Finlandia and everyone skates well.

That will be about the same for us. The last olympics the ladies competitionpeak took place at about 2-3 a.m. for us and in China it will be more or less the same

6pm and 4pm on a weekend for me. Perfect. Not too early, not too late.

But you Europeans get the Russian competitions at decent times.

Yeah, I’m not shedding any tears for any of you this weekend. So forget the sob stories. Haha.

That’s why we need to be strong and not let them guilt trip us. Haha

This made me laugh but it's true:

Diana had better technique than all of Sambo-70 combined! Shame about the rotation.

 

[kmw227]

Looks like Sasha's only going for 3 quads in the free this week - 2 toes and a lutz. Popped both toes and fell on the lutz in her run-through but triples look as easy as ever.

For other run-throughs, Kseniia did her short and Daria did her free and both looked good! Daria in particular looked very solid.

Europe is usually fine from America. The evening is the afternoon here. It’s China, Japan, and Australia that suck.

Move to Europe. We have architecture, cuisine and russian skating competitions in more convenient times

This nice person on Twitter makes time tables for FS events.

Is anyone else considering changing their first and second place prediction order?

No

Yeah, definitely aren’t going to mock the people in those places. They have it rough for not only skating, but most sports.
