2022-23 Cup of Russia - Stage 4 - Moscow

[LadyB]

Bring on the hot shots! What am I saying? Bring on the Empress!!!!!!!

 

[AlexBreeze]

I'd like to see this program performed by a skater with charisma.

 

[yume]

Good fight for Zinina.

 

[YuBluByMe]

Go Muravieva go!

 

[EdgeCall]

Great skate, maybe a bit mechanical. The Lutz will be costly.

 

[YuBluByMe]

Muravieva is one of the few skaters that actually does intense, dramatic music justice. I yelled out an obscenity when she fell on the 3Lz. Hopefully she still gets on the podium.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

The Lutz will be costly.

Eh, the best she could have really hoped for was 3rd here and that's where she's going to stay. With or without Lutz fall.

 

[yume]

Was the first 2A a pop or really planned? I don't see the utility of a 3A-3T when there is just one 3A.

 

[LadyB]

Davai, Sofya!!!

 

[EdgeCall]

Eh, the best she could have really hoped for was 3rd here and that's where she's going to stay. With or without Lutz fall.

True, but there is yet to be seen how the other two will perform.

 

[Paulipau]

Well trained, fluke falls happen. And she proceeded to 2 combos after that.

 

[LadyB]

Crickey, this is not going too well.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Clearly, Mura isn't quite back to perfect form (though granted, she never went fully clean in the Free if she included a 3A anyways), but this was still a very promising start.

More focused on jumps than usual, but that's to be expected at the beginning of the season, especially after recovering from injuries.

 

[LadyB]

Pulled herself together nicely. You go, girl!

 

[lariko]

Good morning, guys. Gotta catch on women first, hopefully in time to see the men’s final live

 

[Jumping_Bean]

True, but there is yet to be seen how the other two will perform.

Well, seems that you might have seen this coming... It's not looking too good for Kat

 

[Paulipau]

Muraviewa is very close to being perfect really. The only thing I wish she didn't bend so low between jumps in combos, but this has became a standard.

Ow and Akatieva went Trusova style.

 

[LadyB]

 

[YuBluByMe]

Well, that would have been a hell of a 3A had she landed it. Very rough beginning, but she did well not to let the program fall apart.

 

[EdgeCall]

Actually I did not. But there is always this possibility.
