They will be sitting there trying to think how to put this under Mura

She herself put her under Mura.

Mura climbs up the standings

It's not looking like Gushchina will beat Muravieva...

But I just love her style. Such an elegant skater.

Gushchina helped the judges. This will go under the top 3 I think. She's had a tough season with injury. She was good considering the season she's had.

 

[Jontor]

Maria!!

 

[AlexBreeze]

I'd have her behind Kulikova in the free too. Not sure if overall.

Kseniia Gushchina (SPB) wearing a black dress which goes weird around the right shoulder.

But not as weird as this female cover of "Come Together". And although the second version is a bit better, it still isn't great.

Sorry, but the music spoiled my enjoyment of the programme. Which is a shame, because she was good.

She goes into 6th position in the FS, and 5th position overall.

Oh no. She's crying.

Gushchina started the season looking perfect and hasn't looked the same since. I don't know what happened. Is it that she became a favourite and she experiences an entire new world of pressure and nerves?

[Lunalovesskating]

I still hate the dress

 

[Pairluv]

I'm dying. Go Soul Sister Go

Zakharova 4T+2T. And second 4T.

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.

MASHA DAVAI!!!

 

[flanker]

Oh no...

 

[Mathematician]

Maria leaves podium chances. It could've been the biggest upset in skating history.

 

[Lunalovesskating]

She skates without any soul to this program

 

[Skating91]

Bravo bravo. Where did she come from. Two quads as an 18 year old in a Russian World Championship

 

[Jontor]

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

How expensive will that be??

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Two 4Ts and a fall on the 3-3. First, yes, I think so, depending on rotation, but giving away a few points. She could have made a serious push for the podium completely clean. She may still, if someone ahead of her falters.
