Wonderful skate from Sofia, and such a nice change of pace in terms of tempo, and presentation.

SP: 68.47 = 3rd Place

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Well, Sofia should qualify no problem!

 

[Spikefan]

I love this program and would have it in first.

 

[tangerine dream]

Slay Samo!

 

[susieB129]

LOVED Samodelkina.

 

[PRlady]

That was so cheesy and I loved it. She has oldfashioned skater lady glamour.

 

[ks1227]

Well, that was fun for Sofia! Maybe she was inspired by Shaidorov!

 

[Messalina]

Sofia

I loved that! She is just so damn likable

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Sofia skating like she wants a a Kazakh sweep of the singles gold medals. That was amazing! Should beat Petrosian and be in the final group. Not sure why the tech tracker isn't higher, booooooo.

Levels. She has all level 3s and a V on the last spin.

 

[skategal]

Sofia inspired by Mikhail to make her own Olympic moment.

Great job!!

 

[annie_mg]

I wish we had some more close ups because I love her presentation. I love how big she skates. Like Kaori big.

 

[Aaron MB Fan]

Sofia BRINGING it!!! Crowd was with her throughout with the loudest applause and cheers after any performance thus far!!

 

[overedge]

Hahahaha Carol being emphatic with the "OLD FASHIONED in the best way". Hi, Carol! Glad you're reading too

 

[Matryeshka]

Happy birthday @Former Lurve Goddess -- rest assured, I spent this morning drinking King Cake Martinis in your honor!!

I apologize for any inappropriate comments I may or may not make. it's Mardi Gras and that's even more sacred than watching the overscoring of Petrosian. I mean, I've had a King Cake Martini, a glitter margarita (yes, you read that right), a Bud Light, a Lemon High Noon, an adult Capri Sun (Hawaiian punch with gin and champagne served in a plastic pouch), and two mimosas and I can see the lack of skating quality. So happy my girl Kurakova made it to the FS! And now Samodelkina being joyous. I adore this SP, and I have had enough to pretend that will go into first.

Khazakstan for fifth in team, 2030!!

 

[Finnice]

Samodelkina's music, costume and hair remember me of Slutskaya cirka 1998.

 

[Aussie Willy]

Just got on my feed in time to see Samoldelkina. That was fantastic. That step sequence to the music was excellent.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I hate to tell you guys this, but I think she's going into 3rd.

 

[ChelleC]

If Samodelkina does not go into the lead, I'm rioting.

 

[Karen-W]

Ugh. Her TES dropped - she got a V on the final spin. She also only has L3s on her spins & step sequence for the initial calls. She needs to work on those to really push into the top tier.

 

[Jay42]

Levels. She has all level 3s and a V on the last spin.

Has she been struggling a lot with levels this season? 4CC seemed low for her too.

 

[MsZem]

Sorry, but Sofia's dress looks like a Christmas card. Especially the glitter-bomb ones that are popular on FSU.

It's charming!

 

[kemc]

That was so cheesy and I loved it. She has oldfashioned skater lady glamour.

Almost the same words as Carol Lane

 

[Sally1214]

Carol Lane says "what a great early birthday present" for Sofia. I agree. The change to the fast music instantly got the crowd into the performance and she sold it. Good for her.

 

[Spikefan]

Egadze is jealous of those shimmies.

 

[Private Citizen]

Levels. She has all level 3s and a V on the last spin.

Shame . I wonder if she also got an edge warning?

 

[Colleen]

I like Sofia … great skate! Will have to forgive the dress, maybe a nod to a culture I know little about?
