Final Cup of Russia

So, how amazing will Kamila be tonight?

 

[elektra blue]

Hmm.... should I go to work or should I stay for the last group?

come on you let me know

 

[chasingneverland]

Oh god, Aliona is first to skate

I actually think that's better for her. She usually performs well at the end (and likes it more than Sasha) but she's not in top shape and Kamila, Daria, Liza T, even Maiia could rattle her and she has much more riding on this skate than everyone else. (Kamila, Daria, Maiia, and Anna F. are pretty much here just for fun and for the competition experience - and to some extent RusNats spots and GP spots but Kamila and Daria and probably Maiia would have that anyway.)

How can literally everyone wear the mask incorrectly, even in the audience... Guys, the mask does nothing if your nose's not covered.

 

[alexocfp]

Plushenko said to hell with this mask theater. Haha

Wow, they finally increased the budget for Dudakov's outfit. He's no longer in hoodies or track suits.

 

[Novalis]

4T eu 3S!!!!

 

[Seven Sisters]

before the last group starts may i invite you to keep the drama level in check? or at least in the russian ladies thread where it belongs?

I would humbly suggest that the drama belongs ON THE ICE (and at the boards )

 

[Shayuki]

Well that was one giant 4T by Kamila.

[bouncy]

Aliona looks so tired

 

[katymay]

Usually when Kostornaia comes out for warmup she flies by everyone at warp speed. Sad to see this.

Speak for yourself!

 

[alexocfp]

Alona doesn’t look in good shape unfortunately.

Tissue boxes were real cute though

 

[chasingneverland]

[CrazyKittenLady]

Come on Aliona, you are a champion, you can do it!

 

[Jontor]

[Dawn825]
