2023-24 Russian Grand Prix - Stage 5 - Samara

[RatedPG]

These judges really have some audacity with the PCS. Maiia the same as Guschina? In what world?

At least Guschina gets a medal here. But, the audacity of some of these Russian judges kind of scares me when we get to the bigger stages.

That is why I root for skaters from smaller camps. Because they have more to overcome and sometimes place 1-2 spots lower than they should due to lower PCS scores.

I don't know. This season he's made the most programs that I like more than the previous ones: Sadkova's SP, Arseniy Fedotov (both), Valieva's SP, Adeliia's SP.

Bobrova said Valieva's SP is brilliant because it doesn't look like the typical Dani G program.

ET would rather go to a tournament with a Georgian that has no prospects than with her best in the world girls.

 

[Skating91]

Ooooh this might be closer than I thought.

Edit. She's got gold easily.

I like the costume. It's something different. And the program itself is something different for Sinitsyna.

Was the first combo fully rotated?

 

[Mathematician]

If this is Sinitsyna's 90% shes looking at podium potential for Nats.

 

[EdgeCall]

Winner of the day.

It's great to see how well Ksenia can sell other stuff than just lyrical.

 

[Skating91]

Bravo what a performance

 

[Pairluv]

Good for her!

I absolutely despise the program and all the generic "I'm your sexy little thing" movements, but

 

[elektra blue]

solid Ksenia! (i love this name) her costume is a choice (one that doesn't get you a nomination ) but she did well

First combo was evidently rough. UR and too much GOE.

Really? I think it is going to be close. Hoping she gets a good PCS score

Well done ksenia

 

[AlexBreeze]

TES went down but it didn't change anything.

 

[Skating91]

Kostornaia and Usacheva must be kicking themselves they didn't give it one more shot.

You should have seen how they gifted her in her first stage. Totally stole Nats points from other girls, it was frustrating.

 

[AlexBreeze]

too much GOE.

Just like yesterday honestly.

Very good skate from Sinitsina , nice musicality and interpretation

Ah she gets a giant flamengo as a reward

 

[Minoru]

Beautiful performance! But the costume is ?
