2024-25 Russian Grand Prix - Stage 3 - Krasnoyarsk

Apart from obvious favorites, Lazarev and Kostyleva, I loved Lebedeva and Kovtun a lot! Also, the trio of Siberian junior women skated very well. Oh, and nepo-babies or not, I liked Slutskaya's FD and Tikhonova's SP. The pairs were less stellar than usual, but that's just me being spoiled, I think.
Lebedeva always has the cutest personality. Always smiling and laughing.
 
From my understanding of what was said in Zagitova's vlog:

Akateva's is planning a 4T

Muravieva is looking to restore her 4S by finals

There will be no 3As from either

At least we'll see an even SP comparison. Was hoping for a bigger total Sofia vs Sofia comparison without ultra-c. With Frolova here it would've been especially interesting. I suppose Mura vs Frolova is still intriguing but I think the former should be ahead clearly in PCS.
 
Frolova has a significantly lower BV. It all depends on whether Mura is clean.
Really? Where do you find the planned content? I didn't see it in the official telegram. I thought the BV would be comparable. Does Muravieva backload more content? Judging by Mura's BV at her 4th stage last season PCS would ultimately make the biggest difference if both are clean.

There's no planned content this time for some reason.

It's just Frolova no more does layback in the SP and her FS BV is not high comparing to other skaters too.

Good catch on the layback. Didnt realize that. Mura does get an extra point if we include backloaded combo. The difference in FS should also only be about a point judging by Mura's last season, also based on a backloaded combo.

I think it adds to around 2 points total, maybe less. I can see how thats pretty significant. At the same time I think Frolova is more consistent in StSq levels but I could be mistaken. One lost level for Muravieva and its pretty even. Ultimately it seems you're right though Mura is a level ahead and clean for clean she wins. Its unreasonable for Frolova to close that gap with PCS and such a condition would reverse my prediction anyways in which I considered Mura to get higher PCS.

Gorbacheva hasn't competed at all yet from what I understand, too bad we dont have any planned content. She could be interesting in the SP as well, she had same BV as Mura last season in the 4th stage SP. Her PCS looked massively improved at test skates to me as well I hope judges dont brick her. Again I think main question here is nerves for Akateva. I doubt Mura is too nervous at this point. Clean for clean Akateva should be clear based on GOE and PCS.
 
She sometimes drops to level 2.

Frolova's BV is lower not only because she backloads only one combo. Also because she repeats the 3Lo and not 3F.
I looked at more of their scores. You're right about everything. I'm without excuse.
 
77 for M/U even with a shaky twizzle from her.

Will it be 80+ for K/N?
