2022-23 Cup of Russia - Stage 2 - Sochi

Oh wow she landed her 3A for the 1st time in so long congrats!

I almost didn't recognize Zhilina. She grew up and that dress changes her.
Superb 3A-3T.

3A-3T, 2A. No risk, no gain. But it was wonderful. I just wish she had a little better feeling for the music, it looked disconnected in parts. The music cuts were a bit wild as well, but this seems to become a fashion now.

 

[AlexBreeze]

The announcer was so shocked that he almost said 67.

 

[yume]

Pretty costume.
Wow that 2A has a nice distance.
Loved that music cut of Memoirs of a geisha.

 

[uwoawuwoa]

Yes! Veronika landed her 3A + 3T finally! It's been a minute. Loved her step sequence.

 

[yume]

I'm surprised Zhilina isn't competing in seniors.

 

[uwoawuwoa]

Too bad about the 3Lz + 3T. She was so close.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Lutzes have been real struggle for everyone up till now, doesn't fair well for the girls going for 4lz in the free. If everyone struggles with 1 jump in particular it normally means ice issues.

Pretty sure she has a 3A too

 

[yume]

Not the most beautiful jumps but she gets the job done and she performs.

a really great skate from Fursova!

Yes, it might be ice quality. Another struggle to push resulting in a 2T

Interesting music choice. I like the idea of skating to drum solos. Unfortunately Galina lacked the fire to let the performance shine.

 

[yume]

My faves programs were Carmen and Memoirs of a geisha. Both girls underscored on PCS imo.

I'm pretty sure she isn't old enough? Unless the minimum age for seniors in Russia is 14 and I forgot about it

BUT OMG NIKA, she finally went clean and with the 3A too...I'm so proud of her. Hope she can bring it in the fp as well

She is age eligible, you are age eligible if you were born prior to July 2008 for senior in Russian cup

Aah, didn't realize that. Tbh, it's probably better for her to stick to juniors at least for this season, so I'm glad she's not in seniors

Fast but effortless and light as a feather. Beautiful skate.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

A really nice skate from Semkov!
