2022-23 Cup of Russia - Stage 3 - Kazan

[elektra blue]

when your coaching team look more like your bodyguards

 

[yume]

Yametova and Valieva are the only skaters with StSq3.

And everyone else got StSq2 or 1? Wow. Maybe the harshest judging of step sequence i've seen.

his shirt looks like one of those chenille shirt so in fashion in the early 2000s

 

[EdgeCall]

Another crazy cut program. If this goes on then in five years the skaters will perform to four minutes of highway noise.

 

[yume]

I'm sorry but i can't stop laughing. Who did that to the poor guy? What a costume

 

[Jontor]

Ok women analysis so far.

10 skaters for sure will make Nationals.
Valieva, Akateva, Zinina, S Zakharova, Petrosian, Samodelkina, Trusova, Yametova, Sinitsyna, Gushchina

4 skaters we haven't seen yet will surely make it:
Usacheva, Muravieva, Tuktamysheva, Khromykh

5 skaters has a good chance after one stage:
Gorbacheva, Paramonova, Shulskaya, Nesterova, Fedyanina

But that's one too many. And then I haven't even counted the likes of Frolova, Peterimova, S Molcahnova, M Zakharova and others.

It's going to be hard, and it seems Sviridenko is out at this point.

so avant garde!

Not the first time. I noticed that Liza T had a lot of StSq2 domestically and almost never internationally.

Counting off Trusova?

we haven't really seen Dasha and Maia yet so its really hard to say if they can make the nats. Especially as their stages are so packed.

 

[koatcue]

Anyways, liked the top-three skaters. All of them are so different!

 

[EdgeCall]

Hey cameraman, behave yourself. We are not in France!

 

[elektra blue]

someone put this singer out of his misery, his pain is clearly unbearable

You counted Petrosian twice.

 

[yume]

They were so apart in that combo that camera couldn't follow the guy.

Off topic but i wonder what kind of exercises give men pairs that butt.

 

[lariko]

Hey cameraman, behave yourself. We are not in France!

Oh, gosh, that ever creative French camera! The guy there needs to get a memo that he is not Fellini and that ain’t a character drama.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

sbs jumps didn't work out cleanly but everything else was great!

 

[Fried]

Someone said yesterday that this might be the last time we see her. Why is that? I don't understand.

Well, EVERYONE who has ever heard of doping rules should understand that. Speaking of rules.
Can someone explain to me what Valieva's unsuccessful attempts to jump right after the FS were supposed to do?
Does she already have such a status that she is no longer tied to any regulated competition procedures and can simply do whatever comes to her mind?
I'm just imagining what kind of shitstorm Sasha would have gotten here immediately if she had done something like that.
Haha

 

[Jontor]

You counted Petrosian twice.

So I did. It should be Trusova.

 

[EdgeCall]

Hm, mixed bag. Some very nice elements, others didn't work so well.
