Final Cup of Russia

[chasingneverland]

Whyyyy does the cameraman think we'd rather look at the coaches doing absolutely nothing instead of Liza and Kamila warming up their triple axels??

Or watching anyone besides Liza and Kamila and Sofia - all of whom I love soo much!! But there are two other skaters..

 

[lariko]

Aww, so beautiful.

Okaaaay here we are, and Shcherbakova isn't competing so for once I can watch the competition almost as a neutral observer without having to worry about my nerves killing me.

I hope it's a very high level competition and everyone skates the best they currently can.

Good for you I'm nervous for everyone... Come on girls!

 

[alexocfp]

Hell of a way to start the competition.

 

[Novalis]

Can anyone tell me what the Russian Cup Final determines for everyone except Liza/Aliona? Grand Prix assignments? Who's on the national team next season?

It's important for those yes. Determine is a word too strong

Frolova is on, i go grab a coffee or two

Her jumps were perfect!
Also pace yourself on the coffee consumption, I know its hard but only one cup per group!

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Good

 

[Jontor]

Frolova clean! I think that's the best I've seen her skate. Well done!

 

[Jeanie19]

Frolova. Such an elegant skate.

 

[Shayuki]

Frolova... Rather minimalistic performing, strong skating skills, overall quite enjoyable.

Hasn't been confirmed. But it as well as stages, Rostelecom, and RusNats will be used to determine that. So more like the entire season will be taken into account of which this is part of.

Her jumps were perfect!

she was solid, but her style just does nothing to me, sorry

 

[YuBluByMe]

There’s a poster on here that always says Frolova reminds him of his granny and that’s a very accurate description of her skating. She’s lovely and unoffensive but old-fashioned and boring.

 

[snowflake]

Good start... well done Anna!

and she's happy with her score 71 something

 

[Vemvane]

Wow! Anna has improved so much with this SP since last season - she's really so much more dynamic and expressive. Well done her!

 

[chasingneverland]

That was beautiful!

(Unfortunately she doesn't really keep me engaged but she's still very lovely!)

 

[Jontor]

Go Maria! Go hip hip!

 

[Novalis]

She loved getting 70+

Come on, she is not that bad. Although I think there is indeed a mismatch between her personality and her skating style. By the former a regal, queen-like style would be a good fit, but her current choreo is a tack too hasty for that.

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Yay for Anna, so happy to see her finally satisfied after an SP!
Now go Maria!!! Hiphip, chinchin!
