OK, finally I can fully watch the skates at the Cup of Moscow, last group is on.

Polina Martynenko delivered kinda solid skate.

 

[flanker]

Oh no, Anastasia Shestakova is falling apart...

 

[flanker]

Alisa Chistyakova good skate, not just 4S, all jumps looked solid.

 

[flanker]

Sofia Vagina delivered nice, with some minor mistakes here and there.

 

[flanker]

Anna Dokukina overaly good but unfortunately fell on 4T at the start of her skate. I think she was not successful with quad yet this season.

 

[flanker]

Korcha is brave. She fell from 4S and 4T, but still went for second 4S+3T which she delivered. Good otherwise, though the poor girl looks disappointed with herself. She is extremely flexible but I admit she needs little more muscle mass to gain more strength for stabilizing her landings.

 

[flanker]

Juniors started.

 

[flanker]

Anastasia Sharoshkina delivered good start, even though she fell once.

 

[flanker]

And very nice skate by Varvara Kravchina, smooth and delicate.

 

[flanker]

Maiia Koryakova, some mistakes, overaly not bad, but not somehow captivating.

 

[flanker]

Yana Ivanova tango program, pretty and dynamic.

 

[flanker]

Maria Galushkina had two falls unfortunately. Yet it still wasn't a disaster skate.

 

[flanker]

Alisa Kornaukhova some mistakes here and there, flexible girl but not very captivating program.

 

[flanker]

Maria Kapichnikova some URs, performance let's say standard.

 

[flanker]

Viktoria Mikhailova delivered 3Lz+3Lo in second half, but her jumps do not look rotated.

 

[flanker]

Ekaterina Titova was slow to my taste, though solid skater.

 

[flanker]

Varvara Poluektova weaker FS, but together with SP she goes second. Some obligatory URs.

 

[flanker]

Alena Dronova is very flexible and delivered solid, but IMO she is not type of skater for 5th element, she is too gentle for "strong girl" character.

 

[flanker]

Lera 3A fall, some other mistakes in the second half. Not bad, but far behind her potential.
