2023-24 Russian Grand Prix - Stage 3 - Krasnoyarsk

Drop the link if you find it. The colour scheme and flowers reminded me also of Exogenesis.

Found it. It was for Storm as an Exhibition. Not the same dress but indeed, Exogenesis EX dress has the same colors.


Russian juniors seem to love Valieva's EX costumes. I've seen this one too in a different color.

Wow, that really is so similar to her exogenesis one.

I don't blame girls for copying her, I think Valieva had the most beautiful dresses. I would start listing them but theres truly too many.

Poor redhead girl. Rough skate and cold look from her coaches.
I loved her dress though.

The first group wasn't strong but at least the penultimate skater slayed.

 

[Mathematician]

Woke up late but at least I'm here for the last warmup group coming up.

Were there any performances I should rewatch?

Missed some skaters but Polyakova and Koltsova were good.

 

[Mathematician]

Good skate. A unique and enjoyable tango. I also like that she wore blue to a tango - a very underrated choice from her you dont see often.

She seems to hesitate a lot which holds back the program but shes going to be great in her senior years when shes more mature and experienced.

 

[Mathematician]

That fall really hurt to see. I really liked this program first time I saw it and hence was rooting for her. Seemed like the fall really affected her spirit in the beginning but as she warmed up she recovered.

Hoping we ultimately get to see the strongest version of her in the finals with a clean skate for this free.

 

[Mathematician]

By the way, I kind of miss seeing these 3 jump combos in seniors. I know they arent worth it, but they were super pleasing aesthetically at the highest level. I still love rewatching Zagitova's old 3 jump combos, artistically it still holds a really unique value we dont get any more.

 

[Mathematician]

Oh wow what did the judges just do to Ermolova?

 

[Mathematician]

Good skate. It seems these juniors often have a rough time early on artistically but finish off well with momentum. I guess it requires maturity and experience to get the expression right immediately.

Lebedeva is strong, if she sharpens up a bit and gets the 4S down she could be a really interesting dark horse for finals.

 

[Mathematician]

Um, that dress lift in the opening sequence is an immediate no - keep that out of juniors.

It started at 6AM here. Difficult to watch everything in working hours. Good thing that next stage is just UTC+3.

I liked that Andrei Shilin.

 

[klena]

I liked that Andrei Shilin.

btw his coach is Anna Pogorilaya's husband

 

[yume]

Kids nowadays......they don't even attempt 4T and 4S anymore, it's directly 4F and 4Lz;
Strong technical performance. The costume isn't giving asturias though.

Edik is happy
