I just saw their free at skate Canada and they were fantastic! :love: I loved it and they were incredible! I wish them all the best in France! :hap10:

I just checked, and their free skate score is currently the 5th highest of the season, with only one GP remaining. That's no mean feat.:)

I too am wishing them the best of good fortune in France.:)
 
I just hope this doesn't make them nervous going into the free. I don't doubt they are very level-headed, but this is their first senior GP season, and it's a new position for them.

Wishing them the best, and that they just go out there and skate that free as they did in Skate Canada.

Good luck!:)
 
God I'm so glad they got 1st in the short! Hopefully, they'll do just as well for the FS. :) They need to be on the GPF. ��
 
I'm heartbroken. In my (biased) opinion they deserved to go to the Final but it looks like the pressure got to them here. Mostly I hope Sasha is okay, that looked like a very painful fall, and that she and Dima can come back strong at Russian Nats.

This is what I was afraid of. Sadly their score from Skate Canada would have been enough for silver at almost any other GP - but it just wasn't to be.

I hope they can regroup and wishing them the best for Russian Nationals.

I actually went back an re-watched the warm up and it looks like they had a slight collision with James and Cipres. Vanessa was kicking back into an extension and Sasha and Dima were prepping for a throw. It wasn't full impact but it was rather more that a high five/hip bump and Sasha was rubbing her leg afterwards. I really hope that isn't what threw them off their game tonight.

I agree with you both. I was watching live at the rink, and they were suberb in the short. Aleksandra looked like she was having a tough time in practices this morning, so it may have affected their confidence.

But hopefully they will rise at Russian Nationals :agree:

On a more shallow note, I got both their signatures on my Russian flag, and they had my plush in the SP KnC :hap10:

That's very unfortunate. Still, if that was the case, then maybe it wasn't just nerves - it may have been a contributing factor, and also may have rattled them a little if nothing else.

Still, they are young in pair terms, and this will be a learning experience for them - and I'm sure this will just fuel their fire, and they will come back all the stronger for it.

Excelsior.

(Though I'm very sad just now - I was really hoping that they'd make the GPF.)

I am sure that not making at the GP Final was a big disappointment for them but I am also very sure that they will get over it very quickly because overall they had a very good debut GP season and they still have a great chance to win a medal at the Nationals.

Sasha and Dima performed their SP at St Petersburg Cup - most likely as a little warm-up event before nationals to get the nerves out - and they scored 70.80!

They did everything cleanly/well until the sbs spins where Sasha caught her edge on a rut in the ice and almost wiped out :palmf:. I know I shouldn't laugh but it was one of the funniest things I've seen in a while (Sasha was fine just a bit surprised at the error), regardless I'm not concerned, it was clearly just a fluke and other than that they looked strong and well prepared to enter the bloodbath that will be RusNats.

You can see their skate here at 1:53:47 and the protocol for the event is here (I have to wonder if Moskvina could possible pack Judges 3 and 4 in her suitcase and bring them with her to Nationals, they only put -2 for the spin despite Sasha exiting early and putting both hands down!!)
 
It's so wonderful to see Tamara Moskvina back with a team in the medal hunt :luv17::luv17::luv17:

They have such great talent and I can see them challenging the T/M and Z/E hierarchy in a season or two (and overtake them heading into 2022 :biggrin:) if they continue to move upward as they currently are.

Fingers crossed for them in the free skate :pray:
