2025-26 Russian Grand Prix - Stage 1 - Magnitogorsk

[Lunalovesskating]

The judging today is interesting.

One of the top junior ice dancers in Russia so far is Daria Drozhzhina. She won previous stage

it doesn't sound hard but after all Ted messed WU

 

[Mathematician]

Rotations will take her down even more. Its possible Gushchina keeps her position as well.

Dina Superb Sr debut, and a strong challenge for the medals here (and maybe even at National?).

Wow 2 triple Axels , program was a bit empty though, but she got the job done, no wonder Adelia has 2 quads planned, youngsters are upping the anti.

Media about Tutberidze arriving here.

The night flight she was supposed to take to Magnitogorsk landed in Chelyabinsk due to heavy fog. Eteri Georgievna traveled to the competition site by car.

stingy panel today...

 

[AlexBreeze]

Dina got a carrot call.

Scoring is stingy but great senior debut for Dina

 

[Mathematician]

(and maybe even at National?).

Highly unlikely, IMO. Only 204 without strong mistakes. She isn't peaking over 220 this season. PCS gap is huge. Gushchina will take this without a disaster.

But she just did 2F only...

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Okay, so the judging for Senior events is still, well, the way in the past (i.e. often leaning on seniority more than anything), just a little lower for everyone?

Wow, take me back to Juniors, please.

 

[Mathematician]

Even with 2F Gushchina should take it. PCS gap is enormous.

Wow, take me back to Juniors, please.

So far the order seems reasonable for me. Probably not with this gaps though.

 

[flanker]

Making me to suffer through the worst Beatles cover ever is a bold way to gain my sympathies...

 

[Jontor]

Gushchina not as sharp as she usually is. That popped Flip will definitely keep her off the podium.

 

[thatdarncat]

A few mistakes from Ksenia, not a fan of the music either, shame she was so great yesterday.

 

[AlexBreeze]

This should be behind Kulikova IMO.

 

[Mathematician]

This is going to be really close. 2 points from SP and likely 7 PCS extra. With just 2F would've been clear but loop could be the decider. Lets see how the rotations affect this.
