Anastasia/Petr had a rough skate today.

Seems like the forum is fixed.

Yes, seems fine now.

Skated with dedication. Polina/Alexei look so promising. The throw 3S looked off but she managed. Beautiful costumes too, the blue sets a nice accent without drawing attention.

 

[flanker]

Sazhina/Belkin well done, esp. 3+3+2 combo.

 

[flanker]

BTW two weeks ago they had 117 in the free and 179 in total, improvement.

To be honest, Winter is getting onerous. I don't know how much more I can handle hearing this music multiple times at every tournament.

 

[flanker]

And Shesheleva/Karnaukhov with delivery that many senior pairs will never have. Quad twist wasn't as great as the last time but everything else was well done.

Commentators said that something was taken as a fall (that's the deduction), but I did not get what was it. Protocols are not published yet.

Edit: Ah, the death spiral. But they did it the same last time, I was already thinking that the very very strict tech panel could take that slide at the end as a fall but it was OK. Well, tech panels should clarify what is considered fall and what is not.

Junior ladies are on.

Nothing worse than forcing 2 languages into 1 song. Ridiculous. Why is FS so saturated with this gimmick?

 

[flanker]

Not bad start by Golubova.

Looks like lyrics in general are not a major point of concern in this sport. ISU could just as well return to instrumental only without loss.

Spirited skate by Yurova. Nice performance.

 

[Mathematician]

Yurova is the hope of AOP.

 

[flanker]

Yurova is showing good progress since she left AoP...

Yurova left AOP more than a half year ago.

Oh, she left? Well, that's hilarious. The only good AoP skater isn't even in AoP anymore.

 

[flanker]

Yurova is the hope of AOP.

She is hope that you can leave and improve

 

[Mathematician]

She is hope that you can leave and improve

Operation: Save Trofimova

Trofimova thanked AOP for everything about a week ago actually.
