2023-24 Russian Grand Prix - Stage 2 - Omsk

[Mariiiiskate]

Come on Lidia, its time for a redemption skate!

 

[Mariiiiskate]

What is with her 3F in this competition its really not working ?

I love this program and her styling unfortunately this was not a redemption skate for Lidia
She does so well in other competitions them comes to the cup stages and disintegrates
it depends on how the others do, but if she doesn't rise at least 4-5 spots bar a podium finish in her next stage qualification to nats will be rather unlikely.

I set my alarm for 11:30 AM instead of PM.

Oh well, at least I just missed a bit. Were there any crazy redemption skates I missed?

 

[Mathematician]

Planned ultra-c elements

Pleskacheva: 4T
Labutina: 3A
Glagolevskaya: 4T
Mazur: 4T
Dvoeglazova: 4Lz+2A, 4Lz, 4T, 4Lo (the loop seems to be a typo)
Morozova: 4Lo

Man, I hope Titova can somehow push it through this.

I thought she have ultra c at some point? Didn't she?

Olga did go clean, her tech isnt difficult so she didnt end up gaining on Lidia but it was nice to see. Unfortunately Lidia had a bad skate here.

She had 4T,4S and 3A last season.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Flips are being really difficult today to skaters. Other than the fall this was a good skate for Margo

 

[Mathematician]

She had 4T,4S and 3A last season.

I guess we'll have to wait until later in the season to see that again.

Just as long as shes ready for finals..

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Davai Liza

 

[Mariiiiskate]

A redemption skate for Liza

her 3A attempt was so huge and effortless in the air , shame she didn't land it.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

I really like Valerias dress even if im not sure how it relates to the music.
Sadly today wasn't her day

 

[Mathematician]

That was interesting...

At some parts she looked really good, then at others it was strangely poor - like a different skater completely.

And what was up with the music at the end?

Seems like subpar coaching. Who even is this guy? No offence to him, but I think she could flourish if she switched.

 

[Mathematician]

Riana is definitely one for the future judging off both her programs this stage.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Riana has an interesting lay out tho I dont know if leaving the last combo that late is doing her favors. Overall a good skate from her, I love her skating.

 

[Mathematician]

Riana also has one of the friendliest faces I've ever seen

 

[Mariiiiskate]

@Mathematician is the result page working for you, it has been frozen for me since the start.

 

[AlexBreeze]

It was much better than her debut last season.

But likely no JNats again.

For everyone

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Oh Sofia, so much potential but it just doesn't ever work out for her
I wonder why she hasnt switched coaches yet.
I do like her program, its rather unique.

It was much better than her debut last season.

But likely no JNats again.

I think she will rise a little here, the rest field isnt that consistent. I do hope she makes it to nats.

 

[Mathematician]

The music switch and choreography had me perplexed. I try to stay positive but ultimately I have to admit I didnt like this skate at all.
