2025 Channel One Cup

I don’t know, she is a senior and to me she is missing some refinement. Skating skills and presentation are not there yet, she fails to draw me in.

I agree. She sort of reminds me of Maya Khromykh. The jumps are there, the flexibility is there, but there's something missing in her skating. Her hair/makeup could be improved too if we're talking on just superficial terms. It's all part of the 'package'.

Is Margo injured? She was the toast of the competition last year and I was surprised she wasn't there.

Yes, she got injured at late autumn and struggled with jumps most of the winter.

Just catching up slowly. Loved pair/dance skills challenge but the singles jumps wasn't particularly interesting, and they already have jumping tournament. I think they will need to tweak it next year maybe for something less crowded and hard to stay interested.

loved all dance and pars and I kinda agree with short for pairs and free for dance. I really loved Murav'yeva's delivery of her short and Gummenik was great. He is really a looker on ice. Still have the singles free skates to watch.
