Honestly its like the only thing that I see here which gets me legit frustrated IRL. I cant believe how consistent these comments are all season. Mura is 18 years old scoring 200+ average and her career is over. How do you even articulate a fair disposition towards these people without getting banned?
I just tuned in and I am still cranky about it. When Leontieva said in K&C she still had headache, I was worried she had a concussion. hope she recovers and they will have a strong next season. I became attached this year.
Yea, it's very annoying, especially when there are other skaters who have been doing worse like Akatieva and Sinitsyna, but no one's trying to end their careers
Uh if she landed 2 3As she would have even beaten Adeliia. She lost to Gorba at Nats by like 0.02 points. If she skated clean with a single 3A she 10000% would've made the reserve she would have still been close to Adeliia and even with just a 2A it would've been hers (around 230 total). Gorba has not been consistent at all. She had one good tournament. Mura would've destroyed Gorba's season best and she is older, post-growth with more experience and lower injury risk. Gorba would not have a single thing over Mura if Mura just skated clean with a 2A. That being said if Gorba just stuck with 1 4S she would've had it regardless. This whole event was a bit of a mess.
All she needs i beleive is the confidence. She made so many times 3A except at the competitions - and now even in triples she made a fall. Everything is in the head- she just need to overcome it, but it seems that it is so difficult for her. Especially in Russia where the strongest are there of course the competitions is intense and now more because they get only 1 place, look at the Men competition how it was intense at GPF.
on the quads.
after her performance. She locked the reserve position, in my opinion. She was top 3 all season and podiumed here and at Nationals.
. With her, Russia would get so much consistency. She got 221 at Nationals and 221 here. She was better at this event.
(she also missed Junior Worlds due to covid); The international community will never see my beautiful Angel on the Senior Circuit 
thinking about it)It's unfair. That is all. Also for me! (lol) -Boston is doable for me, 6 hours away, and if Russians were competing I would have bought the best seats in the house. The men's competition is a slight draw, but not enough for me to spend 5 grand. Without getting into politics, I believe this war will wind down before the summer is over, but probably not in the way the West wants it to go, so whether this will make a difference, I do not know. It could actually make things worse.Olympics
Olympics spot - Adeliya
Reserve: Alina G
If they had three spots, Anna F would have been a dream
Worlds
If they were allowed to compete at Worlds: Adeliya, Sofia M, Anna F. They were the top three Senior Ladies at Nationals and here
Ksenia G would have been their alternate
Adeliya misses another gold medal at Worlds
Sofia M misses her third chance at worlds too….
Anna F - This would have been her first Worlds (I’m so sad
However, like Pairs… they no longer have that lock on a podium sweep internationally. It would be a 1st, like with M/G in pairs, and then maybe a second or a third. Just like with Pairs. Depends on what Kaori and Amber show up with. Also, C. Kim and Mone Chiba could consistently be in the hunt for those two podium spots too. (Would have been awesome to see these two Russian Women battle with these four women…) at Worlds to end this season.
Alina with her 4S (hoping she maintains it, next season in her official Senior debut season. Same with Dasha with her 4T next season. Both are gorgeous quads. Great height. Also, Adeliya showed 4T is doable for a Senior Women. Let’s hope she can land a 4T next season. If she does, I believe she will be the first Senior Lady to land the same quad in two Senior seasons.
Yes, except for Tuktamysheva, I can't recall any Russian woman having a consistent 3A. I think Liza's strategy with the jump is to not enter it with too much speed because it makes the landing hard to control.
I find this some what unsporting. If I were Alina I'd take all the time in the world next time I have Petrosian following me.
Maybe with the increase in the age rule, the 3A needs more focus in juniors. I think junior rules change next season they can do the single 3A in the short program for junior women, so maybe this will see more focus on the 3A in Russian juniors.Well, that was a good and insightful competition. Like I mentioned previously, the 3A is the Russian Ladies Achilles heel…. Today… Sofia Akatieva 3A<< (fall), Adeliya = 0A, and my poor Sofia Muravieva kept falling on the 3A during the warm up. Please bring back Elizaveta T (or at least get her to train the ladies how to land this jump). But, I love Dasha’s 4T… it was landed beautifully during warm up. Alina’s 4S is awesome and Adeliya 4T is so reliable now. So, they get my thumbs up
I think everyone thought three would go and I would have thought Valieva and Petrosian would be the first two picks. In that 2022/23 season Akatieva fell apart in the Moscow stage at the small arena, should have got onto the podium for the GP final, was only two points better than Valieva in the Russian championships despite Valieva butterflying the 3A in the short program. She has never had stability in Russian seniors.
He left out the part where Frolova said clearly it worked well for her she wants to do it again next time
Over the last 2 years maybe, this season no. Gushchina had a borderline flawless season every single jump was enormous and light. Frolova had some shaky ones and cardio problems she also drops levels more often.
3A seems to be a pretty big focus already even in novice, at least for Eteri girls. I dont think Eteri is forgetting about it. Its just harder for small girls to jump the 3A which is a pure power move. If you're small you can get away with generational fast-twitch muscle talent (Strelstsova, Bazyluk, Elena sort of) but otherwise its just about having enough raw strength+weight to put into it. Juniors can get away with being light/snappy for 4S but the 3A requires some serious explosive talent if you're that small.
Valieva would have won this tournament with her 4T and she 100% would've been reserve. Valieva could've even been the #1 Olympic pick if Adeliia didnt skate completely flawless at Nats which Valieva (or anybody) just cant match without a 3A by definition. Very well said about everything else, Akateva had insane aura with her Nats win I think people sort of romanticized that event for her and forgot the big picture, this was always going to be Adeliia's era. It actually was not even that close TBH.
In regards to what exactly?
