2025-26 Russian Grand Prix - Stage 3 - Kazan

[Mathematician]

Muravieva seems to lack stamina yet. Weird to put the combo so lately then.

It wasn't planned that way. She made a mistake from the beginning.

 

[Paulipau]

Mura is for me the biggest victim of the covid and ban.

She smoked levito as a junior, she was amazing, unique artistically and with very solid jumps.

And then she started decling and decling and she is no longer the skater that she once was, I think its the lack of motivation. I think if she was able to keep her drive she could be going to Olympics. But I guess we will never know.

 

[niks]

Oh no! Sad fall for Sofia, she was doing very well until them

And she drops out of the podium which is a true shame because her SP was simply amazing

She did 3Lz+3T as her first jumping pass at Panin Memorial. Maybe do 3Lz+3T & 3F+2A+2T as the first two elements and only a +2T combo in the second half? It's a BV hit, but a fall is more costly.

Dinaaa! 2x3A accomplished.

It's a BV hit but it isn't any significant with her GOE and PCS.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Skaters from Kazan delivered at this arena so many times. Nice to see Dina being one more. A magical place.

 

[Pairluv]

Very young and still growing into her adult self, but that was an impressive skate. Well done.

 

[elektra blue]

i think we have a winner guys

 

[Mathematician]

This is the best woman in the world and it is not close.

 

[EdgeCall]

All is well that ends well.

When her triples were solid they really were the best . I compare her triples to Alisa’s

 

[Jontor]

Khusnutdinova has some way to go PCS wise. But her tech is great, and those 3A's looks really secure.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

It wasn't planned that way. She made a mistake from the beginning.

I think that's more likely why she was upset - Not just the fall, but that she messed up the layout. She probably would not have fallen on the Axel sequence, as the Lutz was fine, she just didn't have the strength to hold the +3T landing.

 

[Pairluv]

Well deserved win.

 

[Mathematician]

She was forced into this layout. The Lutz was bad, she couldn't combo it. I guess, she could have just left it as a single jump? It would make the rest of the program really difficult.

I know lot of people love her here but I can’t… she’s a good jumper but I don’t get it… like it’s a bit juniorish to me. It lacks maturity, artistic and performance.
I don’t know her very well yet maybe this is why. I think I’m gonna learn to love her

 

[KhinSuShein]

For me Anna FROLOVA is most stable skater considering also her age.

It's not about any of this, though. Everyone else is terrible right now. There is just no competition.

 

[lariko]

Kazan' is going to be happy!

No questions, fairly won, but this is not for me, I can't watch it.
