Davai, Nastya i Dima! They are so cute together!

"I was born standing up" - That applies to all figure skaters.

the ice must be cursed today

 

[Pairluv]

It's hard to consider Evgeniev as Elvis when Galliamov does it so much better.

Consider how this is going, I fear for Yulia's jumps today.

 

[EdgeCall]

They have a wonderful harmony together but this was not their best.

[elektra blue]

Dima has such a big heart

 

[katymay]

For a while they were on the periphery of breaking through to be a top pair, but they seemed to have regressed. It's a shame, hope they regroup.

Subject to change. The final entries are approved by the coaching council.

These 18 girls who made it to Nats not only have the highest places on their stages, but also the top 18 scores for the two stages (very rare situation). So the selection is fair despite the uneven stages.

I was also thinking that the programme fits Sasha better.

 

[EdgeCall]

Dima has such a big heart

But he is in danger of losing it easily.

 

[Skating91]

The BV advantage is completely gone with two falls.

And sorry, you might think that Kamila is so amazing that she deserves the highest PCS here with two falls, but I don't agree. Her turns have become more sloppy, her edges shallower, and even though this was better than in Kazan, her ice coverage and speed are still far below what she used to be capable of. She is charismatic, I'll give you that, and I actually think that's the one aspect she has really improved in, but otherwise, her PCS are not at a standard where she should be ahead of all of the other young women here after falling twice - Especially not with this program (Sorry, Danny G).
(And yes, as much as I love her, Mura's PCS too were a bit high for a 2-fall program)

Skating skills are just one of three aspects of PCS.

Thank you! Was waiting on this. lol.

 

[LadyB]

Oooh, Pavel!

 

[elektra blue]

how tall is Dima? he looks like a giant

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Skating skills are just one of three aspects of PCS.

And one other third is composition, which this program shouldn't score higher in than for example Ksenia Sinitsyna's program either, but it did. With two falls.
And do Kami's performance skills in this specific program and performance really outweigh those of Ksenia S.? I would say no, but the judges think so.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Something is happening to Yulia's jumps. The combo is just a 2A+1Eu+3S, the mistake on the 3T. Probably she is still recovering.

 

[Pairluv]

That went much better than I feared it would. I'm always nervous about Yulia's jumps, only a hand down on a throw is good. She's smiling and that's also good.

 

[elektra blue]

a couple of minor mistakes but what a great skate
