2023-24 Russian Nationals Women's Free Skate

So little fan reaction yet for Katya?

I think everyone is still in line for concessions. lol. Or the bathroom. I remember when Yametova was always in the first group to skate for the FS-she had raw talent and speed but UR's. She worked her way up the standings, Katya will too.

Darn. Popped Lutz.

Beautiful blue dress!
Good music

Who is this coaching woman with Talalaikina? Where is Rukavicin, where is Makar?

Galina Kashina. She mostly coached Maria when she returned.

I'm in the USA and it's been working for me without VPN.

 

[AlexBreeze]

I think it counts as a redemption.

Good skate to start

I wish she had a clean SP, she is good. I like this program a lot.

Usually newer skaters do much better in FS because the fresh SP nerves are much more jarring.

@Mathematician
Yeah, I don't know why. I was having to use VPN set to Canada when I was watching all of the Russian cup stuff, but Nationals has worked for me since the start. Did an ISP screw up somewhere and open up something they shouldn't?

All I see are the Las Vegas fountains when this song plays lol

Kinda mad i can't see it live. I can just read your posts. Don't hesitate to play your Tarasova by exaggerating your reactions.

 

[Mathematician]

Beyond disappointing. She has had so much time, was she even trying to work on her cardio at all? Otherwise her jumps are so light when shes fresh... as usual...

 

[katymay]

Nice to see her happy. She ran out of steam, but the first part was wonderful.

Why arent you watching with us?

 

[EdgeCall]

A few rough moments and an annoying fall, but most of it was very elegant.

It catches up with Talalaikina all the time, doesn't it.

 

[Jontor]

Bravo Maria! She seems so happy to be here. It's been 3 years of struggle for her.

Pity about the Loop and popped Salchow, but I just love her.

 

[niks]

Oh Masha .... where is Makar when we need him ?

 

[EdgeCall]

Last?

 

[Mathematician]

Zakharova has dropped that combo far too often. Her Lz/F are always clean but for some she just cant ever get the T. Big question mark to her coaches.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

From how Masha was crying, I'm wondering if this will be her last competition. She seemed reasonably happy on the ice, so I don't think she's crying about the skate.
