2025-26 Russian Grand Prix - Stage 2 - Krasnoyarsk

[Mathematician]

I didn't love it in general but the finish was very strong.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Clean Katya and Zhenya

 

[Mathematician]

Fortunately or unfortunately, bronze is totally open.

 

[AlexBreeze]

No big mistakes today. Though they seemed a little better technically last season.

A lot of tape on her boots, I wonder if they are not too broken.

Is she OK?

 

[Mathematician]

Yes, this lift is very impressive from her.

 

[Mathematician]

Is she OK?

That lift cannot be easy on the chest/shoulder.

RGP Final 2024/25
Mironova/Ustenko lose bronze to Shcherbakova/Goncharov because Ustenko falls on the spin entry.

This event
Shcherbakova/Goncharova lose to Mironova/Ustenko because Gocnahrov falls on the spin entry.

 

[flanker]

What happened?

Ah, now I see.

 

[Mathematician]

Khudaiberdieva says they could have immediately restarted the spin for minimal loss, but they did not have the experience to realize it quickly enough.

This was a learning opportunity before Nats. It's ok for them.

I don't think they could.

You can't retry an element. It won't be validated.

I wonder why they got no deduction. He clearly fell on his knee.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Soloviov (to Liza and Maxim): guys, stop crying in the commentary area.

She said they did not actually initiate the spin. The fall was early enough to restart.

I mean, I have no idea if she's right. It's just what she said.

Good question about deduction.

 

[flanker]

Kaganovskaya/Nekrasov great.

 

[Mathematician]

Soloviov (to Liza and Maxim): guys, stop crying in the commentary area.

I thought they were better last stage in this program.

 

[Mathematician]

2 points less in TES than last stage, but more PCS. I disagree, I think PCS should also be lower. It was more fluidly connected last time from what I remember.

 

[Mathematician]

They lost me towards the end. I would redo this entire part of the program.

The first part of the program is outrageously difficult. They have to be perfect to sell it, unlike K/N who can allow themselves to be carried by the music.

 

[KhinSuShein]

wow the last two couples are so good! I wactched with backward

 

[flanker]

I like the feeling of it, it was like a caressing.

 

[Mathematician]

I like the feeling of it, it was like a caressing.

The first part has potential to be effectively 10/10. The dancing towards the end is jarring compared to the atmosphere they develop early.
