2025-26 Russian Grand Prix - Stage 3 - Kazan

[Mathematician]

Too bad the Russian fed never nominated B/K they might have been hitting peak in February

It was impossible to predict this last season

Neither B/K or M/G would be cleared. There's nothing to discuss.

Congrats to B/K .. they deserve this win and mental break ..
M/G ... sometimes is naturally to fail and fall... but for the reaction of G .. maybe there is a problem .. Mishina and the coah always in their beast behavior

Where did B/K skate which was unacceptable? I thought Eteri ran a tight ship about this. Potentially saved Adeliia's career.

B/K did it way before switching to Team Tut.

The ISU made it very clear they would not allow anyone who showed support for a special operation, but the Russian fed nominates Gallimov anyway.

Wrong... B/K had a very good shot to be clear ... but everyone knew that M/G wouldn't pass the test

I wasn't aware either of B/K supported a special operation?

They switched in early/mid 2023. What could they have done in 2022 that was so egregious?

 

[AlexBreeze]

It was discussed many times in a now closed thread. I won't violate forum rules and discuss it here again.

Makes me lose a lot of respect for Galliamov that look of disdain to Mishina at the end of the skate while admonishing her. Then continued the whining in the kiss and cry. Have some self control.

I will enjoy this pair's podium presentation

I'm re-watching and I'm not sure he said anything bad to/about Mishina.

 

[Skating91]

It's that time again

Dina is much taller than I thought she was.

Nothing happened in K&C but everyone is discussing his emotion right after the skate.

Bobby is alive!!!

 

[Skating91]

What is the second medal they always give out in Kazan? Anyone know?

 

[Mathematician]

Looks like he was just ranting to her about his own issues. I don't think he was admonishing her. It looked like Karpuk was fuming at Khvalko on ice, but when they got on the microphone you could hear she was just really angry with herself about the Lutz.

About Vetlugin's chances.

So far he's 8th.

There are Gumennik and Semenenko who are going to be at nationals anyway.

There are Savosin, Ignatov, Mozalev who already have 12 points and will definitely be above Vetlugin after their next stage.

So let's say Matvei is 13th.

Are there 6 more skaters who can beat him? Theoretically, yes. But this requires a lot to happen because the last two stages are very stacked.
