aight im out

 

[Skating91]

Vazhnova wuz robbed of silver!

 

[katymay]

I'm sorry Sophia, but this program is slow and boring and by the numbers choreo.

 

[Skating91]

Wow blew the sequence that's costly.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

4T looked UR at least, maybe even <<. I saw the pop of the Lutz coming, her set-up was off from the beginning, unfortunately. Shame about the step-out on the improvised 3Lo+2A.

Will she hang onto a podium spot? Maybe, but this wasn't what she wanted.

 

[alix15]

Rough skate for akatieva. Lutz are not lutzing today.
She seemed slow to me especially in her spins (maybe I’m biased after alina’s incredible speed).

The girl of the night really was Alina (and maybe even the performance of all RGP)

 

[Pairluv]

Well, there you have it. Congrats to Alina for a well deserved win.

 

[Jontor]

Messy skate from Akateva. Will she manage to beat Yametova? or even Vazhnova?

 

[EdgeCall]

Anna's passion is remarkable.

No medal for Sofia.

 

[Skating91]

Vazhnova davai!!!!

 

[Skating91]

Anna's passion is remarkable.

No medal for Sofia.

It seems a little for the cameras.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Heads up to the Sofias coming back from injuries/illnesses or other struggles we might not know about Congrats to the most unknown Sofia of the three for a surprise medal

 

[Skating91]

I thought Vazhnova was three points behind Muraviova that's why I was carrying on that she wuz robbed.

Still though, she should be silver.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

But hey, at least Mura looks happy enough next to Alina. And hopefully, both Sofias get a chance at redemption at Nationals in a good months time.

 

[yume]

Well, that was sad.

 

[Skating91]

What an exciting women's program this my favourite of the 5 stages.

 

[Jontor]

Well, that was a competition with a lots of up and downs.

The whole first group had a great chance to qualify for Nats, but they all kind of bombed...except for Bityushkova!
Both Anisimova and Fursova got lucky to push through.

Muravieva and Akateva looks out of medal contention at Nats for now.

 

[thatdarncat]

Happy for Alina and Veronika, sad for Sophia A

 

[alix15]

Quite unexpected podium also here. But very happy with it, I like when “unknown” skaters win.
I always say that Grand Prix are a good chance to win a medal when you’re not part of the favorites.

At least we haven’t saw mental breakdown by none of the sofias. (I think mura is kind of resigned)

Definitely gonna rewatch alina’s 4S a dozen times.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Both Anisimova and Fursova got lucky to push through.

Anisimova still got 181 though. It's more than average scores of her "rivals".
