I just received instructions from my mom to watch juinior women because ‘there is that girl that might have been second in, you know, black-and-red dress. She was probably under-rotating, because her leg sticks out sort of like Grassl’s, but she skates smoothly.’

Welcome to my life.

Starting early today I see.. I didn't watch SP but I see scores of first 3 groups are surprisingly high, with some unknown skaters going over 60, should be interesting...

 

[Azikin]

Dmitrieva just landed a beautiful 3A with minimal preparation, but fell on the 2nd attempt and a bit struggling overall.. I'm not sure what to think of her, she always seemed to have potential but...

 

[Azikin]

Nice little Shahrazad Alyona.. Liked her skating skills..

 

[Azikin]

Nice Mulan program from Nika Kasyanova.. not as good as Samodurova, of course, but higher jumps..

Pops up in this thread.

That looked like a good program from the replays!

This costume looks like it's be chilly!

I enjoyed Kirill K! He really sold that program!

Nikita S in this group! Yay!

Uh-oh that weird ghost filter is back...

 

[anonymoose_au]

OMG, I have just beheld the craziest shirt ever from Mikhail Tikhonov!

I feel like I'm in the 70s taking a trip

The music is even more confusing!

Oh cool multi-directional spins! Nice

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Fedor Zonov is such a beautiful skater! I just want him to get his 3A under control and a quad so we can continue watching in the future as well!

 

[anonymoose_au]

I'm getting sleepy...I was hoping to watch Kirill S and Mark, but I think I can only hold on until Nikita.

Fedor sure worked hard! He's puffed!

Oh hey looks like a James Bond has joined us

 

[anonymoose_au]

Davai Nikita!!!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Oh yeah this is that weird Street Fighter music, buy Nikita's doing pretty well! Fight indeed!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Nikita has a panda ball stuffie.

He is already a winner

Aw he went down two spots. Shame, but he's improving all the time.

And now I must depart. If anyone's watching cheer on Mark and Kirill S for me!

Well, that's progress, at his last competition Lukin scored 170. So what was the point exactly of teaching this little boy a quad? And what's up with Eteri's boys and lutzes? Kolesnikov, Lukin...

But his last competition before that he scored over 200 points. His last comp was a disaster not really his norm. His lutz has not caused him issues until now its his flip that he struggles with.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Oh no Kirill S is not having a great time poor boy

 

[vorravorra]

This layout clearly isn't working for Kirill S. I presume they'll go back to the old one for JGPF.
