2021 Russian Cup Final, Feb 26th -March 2nd, Moscow

[Karen-W]

And she botches the spin at the end! Oh, Liza, lol.

 

[Colonel Green]

The spin.

Well, it doesn't matter this time.

Though with Liza's luck, this means Worlds will definitely be cancelled now.

 

[danafan]

I can't believe she fell on the spin. OMG please let this be enough to get her to worlds.

 

[her grace]

Tuk

3a-2t good
3a hop out, probably under
3z-3t
3f
Liza looks happy during her poseography
3s-2a
3z
3r
Oh, and messes up a spin right at the end.

That should do it. She looks strong, prepared, and ready to go. Will be nice to have a senior senior lady on Russia's team.

 

[Hanna]

The finger at the end is the freaking best

In what world are you watching? She's going to blast past what Kostornaia did

 

[Lara]

Way to go Liza.

 

[Braulio]

Yes!

So happy today with Donovan getting his Free Skate TES and now with La Tuk qualifying to Worlds most likely

OTH what a creepy camera work having to watch Mishin not wearing the mask properly during the entire Liza program

 

[Karen-W]

The real question is will Mishima wear his mask properly in Stockholm!

 

[Wyliefan]

Samodurova was screaming “davai” and “hold up” during entire skate haha
She is the loudest cheerleader here

She is the sweetest.

Liza with 8 triples and a goofy spin mistake. God love her.

 

[Immortelle]

VIVAT IMPERATRIX!

 

[kittyjake5]

Not sure how I quoted myself must of been caught up with the Empress’s excitement

 

[allezfred]

Don't know which is worse - Mishin with the chinstrap mask or Tutberidze with the no f*cks given no mask at all.

 

[Karen-W]

This costume for Usacheva is much. Too much.

 

[rfisher]

And, poor Daria ALWAYS skates after someone blows it away.

 

[Braulio]

The real question is will Mishima wear his mask properly in Stockholm!

I hope the ISU and worlds staff give him (and the entire russian contingent) an ultimatum the moment their put a foot in Sweden

 

[Ananas Astra]

I don't know how many times I have seen this program this season. Feels like an infinite amount of times.

 

[tony]

For starters regarding Worlds, it would be best if the ISU just provided masks upon arrival to everyone that don't have the tendency to slip down constantly. Those types of masks do exist, and then no one has an excuse.

 

[Hanna]

The real question is will Mishima wear his mask properly in Stockholm!

I'm also interested in what Eteri will do as she obviously can't be bothered at these national comps.

Once again I forgot that Daria is coming up.

 

[Wyliefan]

The real question is will Mishima wear his mask properly in Stockholm!

If someone chains it to his nose.

 

[Karen-W]

I hope the ISU and worlds staff give him an ultimatum the moment he puts a foot in Sweden

I don't think it matters much since 1) he has already had it, 2) he's a living legend in the sport.

Of course you did.

 

[Colonel Green]

Usacheva finally gets to not skate last, and now she's probably going to lose to Khromykh; the indignity...

 

[Wyliefan]

Whoa, she almost went over backwards!

 

[Hanna]

And, poor Daria ALWAYS skates after someone blows it away.

Well, surely that has made her an expert as she doesn't seem to care and never puts a foot wrong!

 

[Braulio]

I don't think it matters much since 1) he has already had it, 2) he's a living legend in the sport.

It doesn't matter: he isn't immune and can got the 'vid again

 

[her grace]

Usacheva

Poor girl, so many times having to skate after such an emotional performance

2a
3z-2t

I would like to see what she could do with a different choreographer, this seems very generic Danil.
3z-1r-3s pitches forward on sal landing, but holds it
3f-3t very efficient rotater
3f
a little off balance on the steps, maybe Khromykh's emergence rattled her?

 

[Wyliefan]

I picked a fine time to start getting interested in her. Don't ever change, Russian ladies.

 

[beckab81]

Can Usacheva give some of her makeup to Kromykh? They are the same age, but look 15 years apart here!
