2022-23 Cup of Russia - Stage 2 - Sochi

[EdgeCall]

Wow, very impressive performance from Loginov. Great 3A for starters, effortless glide, very nuanced interpretation of a difficult music. Well done!

Oh dear, Kolya Loginov. Will it be brilliance or disaster?

For me it tended more towards brilliance.

For me it tended more towards brilliance.

It's a very fine line with Loginov. He has a tendency to splat spectacularly. But when he's on, he's one of the best (imo).

Davai Timofey!

 

[Mariiiiskate]

what a nice skate from Timofey! I say this every time I see him skate but im so amazed by how much he has improved in such a short amount of time

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

I think it is about inconsistency. My opinion is that short program could/would win Worlds, if they hadn't raised the age. Powerhouse jumps, huge speed, amazing spins, terrific step seq. Well done.

As was expected, easy win for Shcherbakova/Goncharov

I noticed as Shcherbakov too! Are they related? Or is just a common last name?

Anyway just catching up on the juniors now.

Bit nervous for Kirill S as he wasn't mentioned in the replies here, I hope he did OK!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Found Kirill S, they put the wrong song up for him! Tsk!

He also fell on his 3A and that made me sad.

I still love that he skates to Carmen though, so fight me

At least he got his combo

Anywho the Junior Women's FS is up soon, who's watching?

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Sadly cant watch the girls today maybe the last group if I arrive home early , hopefully I get back in time for the boys

Breaking news guys! Margarita Veselova is skating to Tango de Roxanne and it's not that crazy lady version!

Mine ears are blessed.

Also I want ice cream...

 

[EdgeCall]

Indeed, where's the ice cream? Did Eteri speak a word of power?

Yeah they've gone low budget for the Juniors this season...no spectators either - although apparently that's supposed to change at the next Cup Stage.

The ice cream company is still advertising on the boards though...

 

[anonymoose_au]

Yikes, I think I might take crazy lady Roxanne over this music, it was a bit...much.

Interesting costume though.

 

[EdgeCall]

The music choice is interesting, but you need to perform with great self-assurance to do it justice. Nice dress.

I think that's for the best honestly, less pressure on the juniors

Very nice performance from Polyakova. Popping the first jump is hard, for all you can do afterwards is not to make it worse. But she recovered well.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Awww she's so cute in the KnC!

 

[Caliban]

In planned content for Alisa and Nika:
- 4Lz+2A, 4Lz, 4T - Dvoeglazova
- 4S, 4T+2T, 3A, 4T - Zhilina

 

[anonymoose_au]

Huh wasn't Nika Z here?

Oh wait I've just realised there's 18 girls here not 12.

I was worried for a second!

 

[Mariiiiskate]

- 4Lz+2A, 4Lz, 4T - Dvoeglazova
- 4S, 4T+2T, 3A, 4T - Zhilina

The Lutz is scary considering everyone struggled with their 3lz yesterday, how have the Lutzes worked up till now?

 

[anonymoose_au]

Wow Kamila N is intense!

Whoops.

Oh well, at least the lyrics aren't a bad omen! Onward and Upward indeed!
