2023 S.A. Zhuk Memorial - Russian Nationals among Boys and Girls (Younger Age)

[katymay]

91 tech...(might come down) for a Novice lady. My goodness.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Well there is still older novice nats to try for gold

 

[Mariiiiskate]

4S fall for Valeria but other than that perfect sadly I think she might be the one off the podium here

 

[katymay]

Shocking that someone this good (Valeria) will drop without a quad. When she is better than most of the skaters in the world.

She does have a quad its just not consistent

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Will Alena go for a quad here or no?

 

[Mariiiiskate]

that 4lz is finally working for her just at the right time too
This competition is the best she has skated this whole season by far, what right time to peak

Not just a 4L but such an easy 4L. Wooza.

[Mariiiiskate]

Lena too came with the best free she has skated this seasonShe did not want to loose that gold

 

[katymay]

Elena has such star quality. Is that her mother with her?

 

[brakes]

Prineva - this is how you seize the moment!

 

[katymay]

Some of the PCS scores are making me go..hmmm.... (Deserved for Elena K , but some of the other scores....well...hmmm...)

 

[katymay]

[brakes]

OMG Kostyleva even better!!!

 

[brakes]

Five quads, skate after skate outshining each other, WHAT A GROUP!!! Future stars!!!

 

[brakes]

300!
Best novice score ever!

 

[klena]

1st three places are ready to win World Champ in 10 days

 

[LiamForeman]

Wow. First time I paid attention to Prineva and she is amasing. That 4Lut looked impossibly too easy, had to rewind it several times to make sure. And she has lovely posture, presentation. Then my fave Kostyleva comes out and just flies through her program. What a great competition. And good for Margarita too.

Russian figure skating is insane when you think that a 11 years old girl gets a better free score than what has ever been scored at world championships (of course it is not really comparable but still impressive)
