That was fun from Maria

 

[Mathematician]

Yeah from cancer last week. Im really surprised she came.

Usually its best to keep doing what you love to deal with things, even if the motivation is really hard to find at the moment.

Commentator is saying her mother passed this month, so she is not skating in very good shape.

Like Marii said, a win just for skating, and not a bad skate either.

I wonder how athletes do it. I would never have the strength to compete if my mom died so recently.

 

[Mathematician]

Are there only 5 more girls in this stage? What a shame.

Well, its more complicated than that. Skating is her life, if she sits inside all day instead of skating, she will feel like she lost even more of herself. It would be disastrous for her mental. But yea, she does seem strong.

It always passes so quickly.

I wonder if figure skating is that popular in Siberia.

They seem to have a high number of little girl ice sweepers, so I'm guessing the local club is thriving.

 

[yume]

Adeliia's 3A is so tiny.
I was doubtful when Miyahara said she was training a 3A, but when i see Adeliia's, i finally think that she maybe could land it.

 

[Mathematician]

Interesting that Adeliia got picked to skate last in both stages for the SP. Or is there a seeding system im unaware of?

There's a draw.

Seeded skaters have separated draw.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Well done Masha, she is so consistent

 

[yume]

Loved it.

 

[Pairluv]

Agaeva is adorable. Nice skate for her.

 

[Mathematician]

That was a great peformance, but am I the only one who gets kind of tired of the oriental themes? It feels overdone, and Gorbacheva also has one of the these programs...

 

[Skating91]

That was great. She's put herself in medal contention.

It does seem a fad but I liked this one a lot.

 

[AlexBreeze]

That was great. She's put herself in medal contention.

I'm pretty sure she's a favourite to win a bronze.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

She hanged on to those triple landings well, Good job

Lyudmila has started this season really strong in local comps, hourly she keeps this momentum in the free.

 

[yume]

She fought for that combo.
The program isn't giving.
