2025-26 Russian Junior Grand Prix - Stage 2 - Magnitogorsk

I don't think its that low. She almost has 7s its the highest of the night. She is less than 1 away from what Rino just got in China.
Low compared to her TES. I agree that her scores are fine.

(And Rino, imo, should get even higher PCS scores than she does. She's already dropped down to 5th in PCS and that's not right.)
 
Generally the scoring on this event seems much more stingy than last week. E.g. Arina's SP would IMO get 65-66 last week (and 68 at international JGP :biggrin: )
I don't think Arina's SP would score 68 internationally. Only 4 SPs have scored over (or even close to) 68 this season on the JGP. Mao (duh), Mei Okada, Sophie Joline Von Felten (with 3A+3T) and Mayuko Oka. Apart from Sophie, all of the Japanese girls have genuinely better skating skills than Arina, and Mayuko in particular has a huge presence as a performer as well.

Missing technical calls can be ignored because Arina didn't get any here either (so she probably wouldn't get them internationally). StSq levels have been touch-and-go both internationally and domestically, so that would be a roll of the dice, I guess. She might have gotten closer to mid-60s but unlikely in the high 60s.
 
Oh, I love Kira's dress. I am a sucker for the pale pink-green aesthetic - I used to have a little toy figurine of a fairy wearing those exact colours when I was young, and clearly that stuck with me.

I like this scheme too. I notice it once in a while, in skating.

Was anyone familiar with Kamalova before this stage? I wasn't. She has impressed me well.
 
I also love Adelina's dress, it vaguely reminds me of Zhenya's Anna Karenina dress (What happened after that, Team Tut? Just compare that dress to most of the ones the Team Tut girlies wear now :( )

Not a perfect skate, but still a very good one. She's disappointed, but she showed herself well here.

Well, there is also Zagitova's jaguar costume from "back then". I still like a lot of TT costumes, Adeliia FS 23/24, Sadkova's last FS tbh, Bazyluk's SP dress this season... there are a lot.

Oh, don't remind me of that awful program. Super inappropriate for Alina's age, too.

There are also still a lot of Team Tut dresses I like, but the feel is different. They often have less structure and detail, and just overall often feel more generic and a little less luxurious. It's definitely not just a Team Tut thing, though, it seems to be a bit of a general trend (maybe because it's then easier to pass along/sell costumes?)
 
Margo. Stupid fall, but otherwise her jumps look as effortless as before, just more head work is there obviously, which she needs to get rid of. Physically she looks perfectly OK, two quads were great.
 
Well, I barely saw the end of Petrova... the music sounded beautiful. Will be happy to rewatch...

If this happens to me during seniors, never mind Adeliia, I am going to become a problem for Shaw cable.
