2025-26 Russian Grand Prix - Stage 3 - Kazan

[AlexBreeze]

Haha.

Well, in 2020/21, M/G switched to Moskvina, and this led to various events.

Two of the most famous ones:
1) At Rostelecom Cup 2020/21 B/K beat M/G and Kozlovsky shouted infamous "get in line!"
2) At Worlds 2021 B/K had an unsuccessful skate that lead Boikova being mad including her saying "congrats, you've got world champions".

So obviously they have a complicated relationship. But they weren't too bad. They always congratulated each other at competitions.

B/K also tend to skate much worse at the events with M/G.

sbs are cursed today, we need an exhorcist...ah no

 

[AlexBreeze]

It should be mentioned than it's been less than a week from the previous stage.

 

[EdgeCall]

That was good but not throughout.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Nice to see them happy. Their relationship seems to improve after previous season.

 

[Mathematician]

Even aside from the SBS, they weren't doing much for me today. I don't love the choreography it feels a little disorganized at times.

He threw her so hard she barely got her pick down.

This is endemic now for B/K I wanted to see them get their confidence back against M/G not that I care who wins, but it makes the "rivalry" better for B/K to get one over them. But they just choked again. More so Baikova but she's usually the problem.

Step-out from sbs jump, always some stupid mistake.

But they skated less then a week ago.

 

[EdgeCall]

sbs are cursed today, we need an exhorcist...ah no

Do you reckon father Dimitry is up to the task?

 

[Skating91]

Nice to see them happy. Their relationship seems to improve after previous season.

Kozlovski being very supportive, I'm not sure how much he can take.

Boikova also less self-hating today. Her mental has improved. I hope the consequent, cumulative improvement rewards them at Nats.

 

[flanker]

Well Mishina also did not land perfect solo jump, but it was lesser mistake.

 

[Mathematician]

Kozlovski being very supportive, I'm not sure how much he can take.

Oh, a little step-out is the least of what he's had to deal with regarding Boikova, I'm sure. This is all a walk in the park for him at this point. He is unshakable.

 

[lariko]

Also not clean, but would pass B/K. Love this program for them.

 

[lariko]

B/K also tend to skate much worse at the events with M/G.

Yeah, they really let pressure get to them

 

[Mathematician]

Where was the 4th level on the death spiral? Her head was above her knee for almost the entirety. She barely achieved one revolution close to the ice.

 

[Skating91]

M/G definitely aren't what they were it feels like they are coming to the end, but they have achieved everything and will never be allowed in international competitions again. Too good and maintain their dominance of world pair skating.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Weird to see Mishina making this mistake. Because she was just training jumps when Galliamov couldn't skate. Probably they didn't have time to work on the unity?

 

[elektra blue]

skating i sover for today see you tomorrow

 

[EdgeCall]

Moskvina.
