2025-26 Russian Nationals Women's Free Skate

[Jeanie19]

Maria. Pretty red dress. Great 4T's. Really good skate.

 

[Mathematician]

Oh Maria!! She landed the quads!!! And then fell on the combo....

How expensive will that be??

Extremely expensive for placement. Total travesty.

 

[Artemisa]

I don't like the first part of the music ... but nothing that two 4 can't resolve ... and 4 are a russian girl best friend

I want to see the patented Tsareva tongue of disgust at the fall. And there it was! My day is complete.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Everything is a conspiracy when I close my eyes and imagine things happening.

There was an error on two of the jumping passes (one very minor - slow free leg, the other a bit bigger), and this program does nothing for her PCS. Even her SP, which I didn't love upon first watch, does a significantly better job at bringing out her presentation and displaying her versatility.

She also continues doing this combo spin that isn't working at all.

Maria Zakharova (MOS) is skating to "Lady Marmalade", "One Day I'll Fly Away", and "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend"

She is wearing a red dress. Although it suits her, it doesn't go with any of those songs.

Even though there were mistakes, she was really selling it the whole way through.

She geos into 2nd position in the FS, and the lead overall.

Really, remembering her from that one JGP season, the only surprise is that she was able to come back at all. She was out with injury for so long that I was worried she had been forced to retire.

Dasha davaaaai

 

[Mathematician]

This is where Mura's SP troubles show themselves on the scoreboard. Unfortunate. I hope the next girls are all good so Mura doesn't beat herself up over missing a podium.

 

[flanker]

Dasha now. I'm dying inside.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

And on that note, it is time for me to leave for food.

I'll pause the stream and watch them afterwards.

All the best to the remaining skaters.

[Lunalovesskating]

Oh no

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Dasha...

 

[flanker]

Nonono

 

[Lunalovesskating]

Lord have mercy

 

[Mathematician]

Dasha now. I'm dying inside.

Oh, you poor soul...

There was an injury, of course, but I think she also decided to graduate early.

Generally her technique is very nice and Tuktamysheva-like so it became even better when she got muscles.

 

[elektra blue]

oh no a melt down

 

[Jelle307]

Yeah… hard to be a Dasha fan like almost always

 

[Pairluv]

If Sadkova hits the first quad, she's on fire for the rest of the program. If she doesn't, well the fire is a flicker.
