2025-26 Russian Nationals Women's Free Skate

[AlexBreeze]

The Lutz is enormous. I don't know if her combos have ever been so consistent. It's this flip and axel that get her. Being so young I hope she isn't too upset about the fall. Unique skater with perhaps Frolova type potential.

Seems she isn't upset: "Everything was fine!"

That Axel has very difficult entry with change of edge Bauer. What's more, it looks like she tends to overrotate it due to 3A practice.

Anyway nice that she's here with this opportunity. I was really worried when she switched to SPb. I though there's no way she makes it to the stages from this field.

I had thought that Men FP came earlier than Women FP

No, men are closing the event second season in a row.

Does Kudlai have one of the best 3-3s in the world?

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Arina had a very strong skate today, congratulations to her Every jump looked so secure and easy.

 

[AlexBreeze]

A new dress, I like it more.

 

[Skating91]

Bravo must be the skate of her career or close

 

[Jeanie19]

Arina. Beautiful dress. Great program and skate.

 

[EdgeCall]

Great skate!

 

[Pairluv]

What a good skate for Kudlai.

 

[Jontor]

Great skate Kudlai!

I really like her. She has improved so much since the last time I saw her in her junior days.

Arina Kudlai delivered great

When Arina Kudlai (SPB)'s music started, I thought "O Superman" by Lori Anderson. It wasn't. I don't know the song, but it was awful. Mind you, the instrumental music after it was much better.

She was wearing a black dress, that turned red near the end of the skirt part.

She skated it well. And the massive smile on her face when she came off the ice said it all!

She goes into the lead of both the FS and overall.

poor girl she looks in pain

 

[Jumping_Bean]

I want Masha Mazur to get it together at a major competition at least once in her career. She has successful skates semi-regularly at minor competitions, but pressure is a wicked thing

 

[flanker]

Ouch Masha, that was painful

Not till he remains where she is.

 

[Pairluv]

Mazur completely lost her focus.

 

[EdgeCall]

Oh dear.

It looked like the fall on the 4T damaged her motivation from the beginning. It looked mechanical throughout. The second fall did the rest. Do they try too much too fast with her?

 

[Jontor]

Nerves got to Mazur. You could see the confidence is not there, and after that fall on the 2A it kind of fell apart.

 

[Skating91]

Why do they push her to jump this quad.
