2021 Rostelecom Cup: Women's Free Skate

[LiamV426]

Maia does the 2A at the exact same point in the music Shoma Uno did the 3A. Is it meant to be a reference to him?

Nice variation on crossfoot spin

 

[Seven Sisters]

I know you shouldn’t compare skaters—every one is unique—but she is so a Russian Bradie Tennell

 

[Supernovaimplosion]

Her jumps don't have good running edge

 

[anonymoose_au]

Maya's on fire!!

Go girl!

 

[Placebo11]

That was great stuff. Love Maiia's dress.

 

[Jontor]

That's the way to do it. See you in the GPF, Maiia!

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Maiia still can!

Yes Maiia!! Looked nervous but she got it done!

One of my favorite TeamTut programs from this season too.

 

[Makkachin]

Maiia threw it down! Nice

 

[Jeanie19]

Maiia. Great skate.

 

[Mista Ekko]

This should be enough to put her ahead of Kostornaia for the GPF,
As far as the battle for the Olympic spots in Russia goes...

 

[EdgeCall]

Awesome redemption skate!

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Good

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Maiia recovered well from last weekend

 

[LiamV426]

Great so I'm gonna have to suffer through this program again at the GPF.

Congrats, I guess.

 

[GGFan]

Good for her, especially after the short she had. Yet, one still gets a pewter medal at Nationals feeling from Maiia.

I know she skated to Ladies in Lavender in 2019, so now that you mention that, I think so!

Loena's skating was very Kostner-esque. I don't remmeber Carolina doing an oriental theme but I imagine this is what it might have looked like. - mesmerizing Maturity can be a lovely thing. Great job Loena!

I think Loena's FS looks more mid eastern. Kostner's Oriental-esque theme was Memoirs of A Geisha around 2007 I believe.
