2022-23 Cup of Russia - Final - St. Petersburg

[DoubleBass]

I didn't care much about Mozalev before this season, but this season and especially this program have made me a fan. I hope next years choices and choreo will be equally good.

It's true for so many Russian skaters this season, especially in women, the ISU ban was the blessing in disguise for so many skaters, who have finally seen the spotlight because of that and have showed their best programs in their careers, the quotas system needs to end now, time for an ISU alternative, another league not based on country quotas, but individual skaters representing their coaching teams rather than a country. The ISU is a dinosaur that looks more and more irrelevant

This is the Russian men, I don't dare to take a guess ...

i remember when Ilya won without winning nor the short or the free and because he was literally the last man standing

I would love that. I guess the current financing doesn't allow that. But it would be worth to explore that way!

The 4T in euler combo was so high. But how did he get positive GOE

 

[EdgeCall]

Petr, hope this doesn't turn into a wild goose chase for you.

Not for Petr but maybe for Ivan. This looked a bit wild indeed.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

A roller coaster of a skate for Ivan started with a pop after which he got himself together and worked hard to get and save all his remaining quads and 3a's only to stumble on the last two normal triples at the end

Poor Vanya

 

[Jeanie19]

Ivan. This is a good program, a couple of mistakes but still a good skate.

 

[Pairluv]

Watching Russian men: Yeah! NO! Yeah! NO! Stop doing that!

 

[LadyB]

Davai, Tema!!!!

 

[elektra blue]

take care of your heels, Achilles

 

[elektra blue]

Watching Russian men: Yeah! NO! Yeah! NO! Stop doing that!

it's an emotional rollercoaster and an extreme sport

 

[LadyB]

Watching Russian men: Yeah! NO! Yeah! NO! Stop doing that!

Watching Russian men to me is Yeah! Wow! Blimey!.... Sorry, you mean FS? Yeah, you're right.

Finally all caught up.

Great job, Zhilina! Glad she’s getting a handle on her nerves and can’t wait to see her in Seniors.
Feel so bad for Titova.

Petrosyan - wow! She’s growing on me! I’m never crazy about her music choices. I’m waiting for her to finally get assigned some music I like.

Akatieva- noooo! I know she’s not senior-eligible yet, but she’s so special and I usually like all of her musical choices and costumes!

Kamila surprised me. She’s back in the game!

Yametova great as usual.

Sofia M. - love the new dress

Sofia S. - nnooooo! I hope this isn’t the end of her.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Oh dear Tema was so consistent this season, this his worst free of the season by far those falls looked brutal especially that 3A fall looked like it hurt a lot, hopefully he is ok

 

[Pairluv]

So, did all the rest of the field decide to gift Dima? That's really nice of them.

 

[LadyB]

He did well and I love him, but this is not the right programme for him. To me it's not really flowing, always looks a bit laboured.

 

[elektra blue]

you just saw the fall of Troy

Poor Artem
