2023-24 Russian Grand Prix - Stage 3 - Krasnoyarsk

[AlexBreeze]

Dima scared Rinky away.

Nooooooo,,,,I got up at 2:00 in the morning to watch the worst skate Gumennik has had in several years. All three jump passes a disaster.
Sigh. I feel his coach's pain. And his as well.

I did the same but it’s 4am for me so sad

 

[Pairluv]

That was a very generous score on the 3A. Very generous. But Dima is just a joy to watch when he's clean. Pointed toes.

 

[icewhite]

Aliev looks improved in stability...
but why did that 3A get positive grades?

 

[anonymoose_au]

In the immortal words of Chris the commentator.

"That was a real humdinger from Dima! Top drawer stuff, he's thrown down the gauntlet and set the cat amongst the pigeons here!"

 

[elektra blue]

and now it's Tron Time

 

[anonymoose_au]

Woooohooo! Come on Sailor Sasha Samarin!

 

[Pairluv]

You're never exactly certain what Samarin is going to do, but he makes me smile regardless. He's always as surprised with his skate as I am.

 

[elektra blue]

all over the place for our cheeky sailor, but you got to love Sasha as he is (i know i do)

 

[anonymoose_au]

Sasha S looks like he'd be huge fun at a party.

Hahaha what was that face, man?

 

[yume]

I missed Sasha. Seems like the skate was mid.

 

[Pairluv]

The look on his face when he finishes is everything.

 

[icewhite]

those scores are absolute fantasy land
can they stop throwing points at the skaters like that?

 

[Skating91]

Good skate from Aliev I'm interested to see how he was scored for some of those landings

 

[Pairluv]

I thought Dima touched the ice on the 3A, but the replay says no. I guess that's why he didn't get dinged more in GOE.

still judge 7 especially was unhinged
+2, +3 for that jump?

only judge 1 was reasonable

 

[anonymoose_au]

I have no idea what he's saying, but it's always fun to see Mika K

In other news looking forward to pairs, Liza O is here!

 

[AlexBreeze]

only judge 1 was reasonable

Semenenko had an even worse 4S that got 0 GOE at Skate Canada 2021.

Oh I'm certainly not saying this is a first in figure skating judging...

For the same 3A in Ufa, Mozalev received -1 or 0 GOE from all judges and -0.16 GOE overall.

Aliev's trixel and Mozalev's trixel have different evaluation parameters, it looks like.
