Knyazhuk accidentaly cut Khabibullina's leg during a morning training. She had to get stitches. They won't compete today.

How unfortunate for them, hopefully, she heals well Still hard to stomach that there will be only two Senior pairs competing here, and last week there were also only 4... The standard is still high, don't get me wrong, but the field is so much smaller.

She did it! A clean skate, im so happy!

I love this short so much im so glad she kept it for another season.

Love that programm, costume, she really sells it, well done

Veronika Zilina no longer skate this season? it's being 2 seasons already that she has missed, not a good sign at all. Such a talented figure skater what a deplorable waste indeed!

From the show clips I've seen, she doesn't seem overly injured. I rather wonder if she just doesn't want to compete.

 

[Mathematician]

Dont know why I didnt expect that. Splendid.

She had some decent SP skates last season but struggled in FS if I recall correctly. Looks like she has good chances with the FS this time cause that looked wayy confident.

Loads of pairs injured this season and no new pairs coming up from juniors isnt helping at all.

Just a very unfortunate season.

But I expect next season to be fine because of multiple junior girls becoming age-eligible.

Probably even nationals will be fine, Chikmareva is already doing triples.

 

[elektra blue]

Dasha!

 

[KhinSuShein]

Her fan group announced that she won't compete this season.

I remember she, Arseniy Fedotov and Sofia Akatieva were portrayed like children exceptionaly talented in various shows.

 

[katymay]

Too bad about the combo, she has a lovely quality.

Loads of pairs injured this season and no new pairs coming up from juniors isnt helping at all.

Throw in a few splits and retirements, and not a lot of new pairs forming and you get a quite depleted field indeed.

The Junior pairs field on the other hand is doing great, so I don't think this will be a permanent situation, but it still gives me a weird feeling.

 

[elektra blue]

oh no...that pop will be costly

 

[Pairluv]

Nooooo. Can this child ever just keep it together? The skate was going so well. How frustrating it must be to be her.

 

[AlexBreeze]

*Replays*
Trankov: She also has some cool skating skills... Although you can't tell that from this twizzle.

 

[EdgeCall]

Best PCS though.

 

[elektra blue]

Nika!

 

[AlexBreeze]

Fursova will be in the last group, Sadkova won't.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Ah Dasha, poor girl The pop was almost expected after she did the rest cleanly, unfortunately, she really needs a mental coach (look at how Amber Glenn has turned around her skating this season after working intensively with a psychologist and mental coach during the off-season).

What's that at the side of her neck?
