2024-25 Russian Grand Prix - Stage 4 - Moscow

[Pairluv]

So sorry to see Ksenia struggling with her jumps. She's such an elegant skater. Every movement has a purpose. Better FS than SP, but still not clean and I suspect there are URs.

@Skating91 remember some were saying she is more artistic than valieva

 

[Skating91]

She did well to recover. The energy was way off but the judges will give her big PCS. Probably 4 or 5 landings on the q though, it will be interesting how honest the officials are.

 

[Skating91]

Not just on the q, but underrotations too.

Wow, they didn't ding her for them. Disgrace.

 

[Selivanovp]

She was touching her ankle while warming up. Broken boots or an injury.

Hope someone gets an interview with her and asks about boots. A few weeks ago she revealed that she's skating on a men's boots now (with white tape on top) because she couldn't buy the previous model she used. So, that may be a reason of inconsistency and struggles even on non jumping elements.

 

[Mathematician]

This girl is unique and has a lot of potential but lots to work on as well

 

[katymay]

Some great raw jumping ability and interesting skills. Just needs a bit more polish. (cool reverse spin)

I thought she said shes been skating in men's boots for a while because she likes them more for some reason?

All Adeliia's quad attempts look UR. The 3A is nice.

 

[KhinSuShein]

will look foward to Kamilla NELYUBOVA and Elizaveta KULIKOVA

Nah, she said that she couldn't get the model she used as it wasn't available at all, and those men boots were the closest to what she needed. Sadly, I don't remember where she said this, one of Zagitova's vlogs probably.

No clean 4Ts. She looks a little mad about it.

 

[KhinSuShein]

Adelia PETROSYAN is already 17 so she is already qualified to ISU senior level.

Let's see if she could pull Anna, with massive problems on a warmup, but clean skate.

She was qualified at the time this rule was introduced as a skater that competed in seniors already by the old rules. So it could've been her third senior international season.

I hope next year the ban would be lifted

Yea I saw that vlog from her first stage I think it was the SP one.

I enjoy Alina's vlogs a lot honestly she does a wonderful job its a shame she gets so much criticism. She has an enjoyable and unique personality.

 

[Selivanovp]

I doubt it. USA and Japan Feds won't allow any Russians to Olympics.

 

[AlexBreeze]

1) First nationals for Kamilla
2) Daria's chances are melting. She needs a lot of happen in SPb.

 

[katymay]

Very strong girl. And I feel like many of her elements were low balled GOE.
