I expected something particularly stylish and classy from Anna, and she did not disappoint. Watching her skate is always a treat.

A pity that the fall has ruined her score.

The problem of this competition is that if you're in the first half, you have close to zero chances to win.

Yes they're saving up for the big names in the second half of the event. Thankfully Yagudin isn't performing.

Hopefully no more sad clowns, but was the judge insulting Anna so she waved her finger at him?

You can always win the fan voting though.

Not really if you're not fan favorite. Pretty sure that fan voting winner gonna be not someone with an outstanding performance, but with a famous name and largest fanbase, like Trusova.

IMO Matvei would definitely won it at the first event under new rules.

 

[Skating91]

I would have Mura in the clear lead right now.

No matter the score, it was nice to see her in such an image and to play it so confidently. I suppose we saw a glimpse of this at the Russian championships gala show, but nice to see her in something similarly playful. She really is one of the most versatile skaters competing.

Petr had not much story to tell, but powerful skating with impressive costume and fitting music.

 

[Cherub721]

Well you definitely can't beat that for joyful mood! Sasha is so beautiful.

 

[EdgeCall]

Sasha and Makar: Simple but effective.

 

[Cherub721]

Very nice from Anna but doesn't really fit the theme IMO.

Indeed, I thought those darker themes were not desired?

And yet she takes the pole.

 

[Cherub721]

Vasilisa ready to go viral again lol.

K/N clearly the "baddest". Will they turn this into a competitive program?

It's very funny because she's so sexy and bold but then in the interview seems so young and girlish.

Vasilisa ready to go viral again lol.

She is a tease

 

[Skating91]

I think that score they gave Shcherbakova sucked the life out of this event and made it an even bigger sham than it was the previous two years.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Dima has stolen the car

 

[Cherub721]

Definitely a new side to Misha lol.

This B/k number is likeamix of M/G fan and car crash exhibitions.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Dima: Mikhail has forgotten his key so we decided to use it. After all, the car is very beautiful.

 

[EdgeCall]

The expected extravaganza by the eternal Empress.

I wonder what the judges will make of this.
