The girls are delivering so far, another clean skate

Don't jinx it.

Ouch, a fall from Tatar girl Maryam.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Maryam's dress reminds me of a dress worn by a certain other skater from Tatarstan. Shame about the Loop fall.

 

[flanker]

Don't jinx it.

Just happened

 

[Mathematician]

Oh no, she lost so much energy after the fall.

That was a major shame, because she is very good. I want to see it clean.

 

[EdgeCall]

Not clean, but promising. I think skating to the original would make an even better impression. She is not the extrovert type.

 

[flanker]

Varvara Voronina had UR on her combo but otherwise solid delivery.

 

[flanker]

Alisa is a little pack of dynamite

 

[Mathematician]

A powerful performer. The level today has been higher than I expected, to be honest, and we still have a few anticipated heavy-hitters ahead.

Casters saying she came from Rhythmic Gymnastics. It makes sense, this reminded me of the Averina's Bella Ciao.

It also came to my mind immediately.

Nothing against Beatles but this is 4789th program to Come Together (and cover int his case). Why precisely this song is so overused.

 

[Mathematician]

Ok, I know we always talk about bad covers, and I try not to mention it anymore, but this is outrageous.

Fixed.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Why this cover again? Please, was there like a package deal for Russian skaters or what? Uliana is also deserving of better than this,

Am I blind or I don't see Trofimova on the starting list despite her being listed in the thread? Did Alex make a mistake or there was a last minute change I missed?

Edit: there are 18 names in the original post so I guess there was a replacement, who was it?

Astashenkova is there instead of her.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

That was great Sofia has been doing so well this season, particularly in the Short. If she lands her quad(s) in the Free and stays on her feet, she's a legitimate podium threat.

 

[flanker]

Scoring is still pretty moderate.

Bro is this my singing monsters Bolero I can only handle so much
