2025 Nikolai Panin-Kolomenkin Memorial

I dont know about the color combo for her dress

Personally, I quite like brown and blue as a combo, it reminds me of a nature scene a bit. That is, if the colour grading is accurate here, you never know with cameras.

Who are commentators?

Ksenia

what a skate! I think this is the best ive seen her skate yet, clean jumps and got all her levels as well!

Who are commentators?

Alena Leonova and Nikolai Moroshkin

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Her jumps are huge and she's in great form (though when skaters are in too good of a form this early, I feel a little uneasy about if they'll be able to keep that up throughout the rest of the season :/). Still hate the packaging she's been given this season, though.

I think she was better at Nats last year.

But that is the tallest lutz I've seen from her. She can jump over the barrier, if she wants...

Gushchina is giga-consistent, I'm not worried about her losing form.

And actually, I am getting used to this FS, its not bad. The SP is the biggest problem to me. In any case, she is definitely capable of much more than this sort of programming.

Dasha: The fall from the sequence was costly unfortunately...

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Not what Dasha wanted, but at least better than at Test Skates. Darya is always going to be Darya, but I hope she's able to put it together cleanly when it really matters

 

[flanker]

She looks so disappointed

 

[AlexBreeze]

As I said yesterday, the panels in singles are absolutely unexperienced. Though I enjoyed men's judging.

[Mathematician]

How did she save that lutz

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Maria's 3As are amazing and becoming really consistent. The other triples, not so much, at least not here :| Her PCS do feel quite Junior-ish, though, which does make sense. That kind of works better for her Free, but in the Short it felt very noticeable.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Nice fight. But still a lot to work on.

 

[Mathematician]

Girl needs to work on the facial expressions.

The whole program:

 

[flanker]

2x3A but lots of smaller mistakes, plus one fall. Promising skater nevertheless.

 

[Mathematician]

Its fine. The girls are just leaving their disasters here, not to bring them into GP.

 

[flanker]

Should be still clear gold for Alisik, but a lot of work ahead.

 

[AlexBreeze]

The spins judging is weird but skaters' choices about them are weird too.

Elisova was doing a flying camel but for some reason changed to the layback. The tech panel counted it as a combo and it got invalidated.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

It's interesting how you can start developing an eye for mistakes before they happen. Some skaters are able to save impossible jumps, but that's rarer.

It's early in the season, and it is a big jump from Juniors to Seniors mentally, so Alisa shouldn't be too hard on herself here.
