2022-23 Cup of Russia - Stage 1 - Moscow

Okay, starting on chaos that is Russian men.

The 1st half was amazing but in the second half he ran out of stamina also why are they hell bent on repeating the triple axel its such a unstable jump for him

Either way far better than anything we saw from him last season

You know me, I ignore the arrows Eteri takes. Top level coaches aren’t there to coach the fans, or please the fans, they are there to develop champions.

If the fans coached these skaters, they would never reach their potential.

Anyway, this is, understandably, Sofia’s day.

But, lost in all the hype, Kamila still was able to pull out the victory. This is Kamila after all, she isn‘t rolling over.

Agreed and a deserved victory. She's total control with her presentation, every year it improves (although Bolero was a frenetic pace so it's going to be more difficult to have perfect control like with this new program).

It's exceeded my expectations Kami's performance this weekend and the test skates, and Akateva's free skate blew me away.

This is just going to push Petrosyan to improve now. Russian Nationals will be the biggest event of the season.

I was so worried about Dima! Such a beautiful beginning... Anyway, on the whole, he did well!

 

[EVAMARIA]

Okay, starting on chaos that is Russian men.

I love Russian Men

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Oh dear Misha is imploding the pressure got to him

 

[lariko]

I love Russian Men

Me too, but I wish Popov didn’t self-destruct.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

I think he might have injured himself at that last fall poor guy

 

[AlexBreeze]

It was clear yesterday that something is wrong to Misha. You propably remember that I said that even his spin weren't this great.

Must be health problems?

 

[EVAMARIA]

Me too, but I wish Popov didn’t self-destruct.

I know but now I m happy Dima hold it together pretty good

 

[lariko]

I like Samsonov’s shirt. Very interesting collar.

Good thing there are so many of them. Collectively they manage, heh. Love Aliev. If he wins, I will feel slightly better.

 

[EVAMARIA]

Yep now we feel good. Dima won and aw he looks so happy. Haha and Samarin is back

 

[lariko]

Okay, I am up to Popov, and I had been forewarned

 

[AlexBreeze]

Before the competition I predicted a silver for Gleb. I didn't mean this.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Is there no Medal ceremony?

 

[AlexBreeze]

We are going to have a great awards ceremony. It used to be low-budget at CoR.

 

[yume]

Well, men were consistents in their inconsistency.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Is there no Medal ceremony?

Wait a few minutes.

 

[lariko]

Okay, so that’s how it is going be. Mozalev vs 4S and Popov vs 4Lz. Also, yeah, Popov and Annis is gonna be basically two sides of the same coin for me. Feel really bad for him, but I hope he can make a better outing out of his second stage (which I hope he has).
