2024-25 Russian Grand Prix - Stage 1 - Magnitogorsk

[yume]

Ksenia, hold that Ina Bauer and arabesque 2s longer please.
The music isn't giving.

 

[Mathematician]

If it was anyone else I'd laugh but really Sinitsyna's story is more catastrophic to me than Valieva's. I am traumatized.

 

[elektra blue]

that should be enough for the podium, love this program for her

 

[yume]

I don't like this free program.

 

[katymay]

Love this program for Ksenia. Powerful and can't wait to see it again.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Mixed bag for Ksenia. Last season she was extremely consistent. The mistakes looked more random though.

The first 3F looks UR.

I don't think Blues suit her.

 

[Mathematician]

The music isn't giving.

Just remember this girl was artistically dominating almost everyone her entire career. She interpreted Rachmaninoff, Bach, Chopin, Tchaikovsky... now look. She cant even beat Frolova. Its finished. This is horrible. I am so sad. Why did they do this to her?

She was stable her entire career. Not a mixed bag at all. This is an extremely obvious deviation from what she is supposed to be. Look all her jumps she is wobbling. Heartbreaking. Unexplainable. Its finished. This is a disaster.

 

[AlexBreeze]

She cant even beat Frolova.

She couldn't beat Frolova at the end of last season too.

 

[AlexBreeze]

She was stable her entire career.

No she wasn't. Only last season.

She had a lot of health problems before. She also struggled with URs a lot. At her first nationals she fell on the combo attempt.

 

[katymay]

That color blue looks spectacular on the ice. Well done!

 

[yume]

Guschina looks like she gained more muscles this season. Good skate, though i would have preferred another Lana del Rey's song.

 

[AlexBreeze]

The tech panel started calling Agaeva's flip edge. Chaplygina also got edge calls she didn't have before. They are definitely deserved, but last season they didn't pay much attention to the edges.

Gushchina also got an edge call.

 

[Mathematician]

She couldn't beat Frolova at the end of last season too.

Yea but I disregard that. It was a mickey mouse tournament. Nobody was there. Overall she was better than Frolova last season.

No she wasn't. Only last season.

She had a lot of health problems before. She also struggled with URs a lot. At her first nationals she fell on the combo attempt.

Never seen her shake like this before on every jump

She was above Frolova her whole career now she is getting outskated by GUSHCHINA!

 

[AlexBreeze]

Frolova is training a loop combo. With such a gap she could attempt it.

I wouldn't be this dramatic but true that classical music suits her the best.

She was stable her entire career. Not a mixed bag at all. This is an extremely obvious deviation from what she is supposed to be. Look all her jumps she is wobbling. Heartbreaking. Unexplainable. Its finished. This is a disaster.

The girl who struggled with illness and injuries? It's pretty commendable that she is still competing.

She was always a diamond. Injuries or not. When she was clean it was obvious she was another level. Multiple seasons now. Sorry but this is a disaster considering the potential she has shown for multiple years. Claiming health problems only helps my case considering healthy last season she had a perfect SP now look.

 

[yume]

I don't know how i feel about this program from Frolova.
Her consistency is impressive.

 

[AlexBreeze]

I disagree. Her 3Lz+3T was very good. She had URs on it most of her career. And today it was very confident.

And yes, she had a lot of problems with jumps before. She almost got rid of URs just last year.

Very good from Anna, confident mature performance, plus I love the Cats soundtrack
