Ajajaj

Osokina/Gritsaenko fall too, this time from solo jump.

 

[Pairluv]

Osokino/Gritsayenko have some good qualities, but their not so good qualities always kill them and they don't seem to be able to improve.

 

[Pairluv]

Only if M/E and Kh/K make mistakes as Osokina can't do well the death spiral that is mandatory in pairs SP this season.

I take back what I said about the version of "O Fortuna" that the previous partnership were using.

This version of "La Boheme" that Elizaveta Osokina / Artem Gritsaenko (PER / TAT) is even worse. And I am not fussed on their costumes either.

What a weird fall for Liza.

She's upset, but not to the extent that Sasha was earlier.

It'll be interesting where they slot in.

They go into 3rd and last position.

Which always means they cannot afford to make any other mistakes because they are going to lose points there. And, they always seem to make another mistake.

Good morning! Yes it is awful.
I somehow have a Russian feed working and am so sad for Sasha & Dmitri.

Andreeva/Akimov are not on the level of previous skaters but still nice to watch.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

I don't think I've seen Daria Andreeva / Aleksandr Akimov (SPB) before, but I liked that.

The music made me think of a spy film.

They look very young. With more experience, they will improve.

They go into 4th and last position.

Mmmmm. I wouldn't have put them as much as 11 points behind Osokina / Gritsaenko.

I like their simple look, it is very refreshing. She is even smiling a bit in the footwork.

damn, because of a phone call i missed everyone

 

[Pairluv]

Mukhortova/Evgeniev have a real chance for silver here if they are clean.

They are 19/24.

They were affected by injuries last season so I whish them all well for this one.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

They are 19/24.

Wow! I would have put them a lot younger than that!

Moskvina and her minions always make me smile.

Still in a normal world they would easily get themselves some GP assignments and get some medals...
I always wonder about Osokina, with current state of women's figure skating, I think she would be able to be a top skater as well, like Yametova or Anna.

Don't forget there's a bunch of junior girls moving up since next seaon.
