2021 Russian Nationals Ladies SP

[rfisher]

Anna looks great for someone who hasn't been back on the ice very long. Good for her. I hope that's emotion and not struggling to get a breath.

 

[Wyliefan]

That’s flying camel was pretty terrible. But sure, positive GOE.

Level 2, though.

 

[tony]

Level 2, though.

Doesn’t matter. It was obviously going to lose levels but it was still terrible and any other skater aside from her or Trusova would’ve had probably -2 or -3 on it.

Shcherbakova

2a
random leg lifts
3f
for someone as good as she, there's no excuse for having such choppy stroking/crossovers
3z-3r good

She's back!

 

[Wyliefan]

She's winded.

 

[Vagabond]

All these raised arms on jumping passes earn the skaters no bullet points, hence no extra GOE. Also, they usually detract from the performance and interpretation, especially when the skater does many of them in the same program.

 

[PRlady]

That was beautiful but listening to her pant in Eteri's arms tells me this poor young woman should NOT be skating.

 

[her grace]

That heavy breathing is frightening.

 

[Lana K]

Poor thing. She doesn’t look like she’s feeling well.

 

[topaz]

The long program is going to be super tough for her.

 

[Hanna]

Anna's interpretation lovely, as always. But has her mule kick on the flip always been this bad?

 

[alchemy void]

I think Scherbakova has improved the components and matured so much this season. Great music choice. Lovely.

 

[Colonel Green]

I was just going to credit Daniil for keeping his mask on, so of course he takes it off.

 

[Vash01]

Love AnnaSh’s blue dress. She is so graceful! Lovely skate by Anna. I love her. I hope she is strong enough for the LP.

 

[danafan]

Ted needs to open the live scoring link LOL

[Vagabond]

Shcherbakova looks a lot like Helen Hunt.

 

[rfisher]

If anyone doubted the effects of C19, they just have to watch young, fit athletes deal with the consequences.

 

[her grace]

Anna's interpretation lovely, as always. But has her mule kick on the flip always been this bad?

Yes. I've been whining about it since she was a junior, but decided not to mention it yet again today.

 

[Colonel Green]

Anna leads with 80.31.

 

[rfisher]

I love this program for this little sprite. She is beyond adorable. She's another that makes me sad they missed out on the JGP and junior worlds.

 

[alchemy void]

I remember this program from the Russian Cup. I'm so happy she made it to nationals!

So charming!

 

[Wyliefan]

How old is this one? She looks about eight!

 

[Vash01]

They didn’t show Anna’s score. Weird things are happening today. Looks like she is in first place though.

 

[Wyliefan]

Suddenly I feel like skipping down a Parisian sidewalk.

 

[her grace]

Onishchenko

3f-3t
2a
3z

That skirt is too long

Playful choreography

 

[Colonel Green]

Traffic noise?

Cute program.

 

[Vagabond]

If the Russia gig doesn't work out for Arina Onishchenko, there's always France.

 

[alchemy void]

Champs Elysées is the newest addition to my music library.

 

[rfisher]

If the Russia gig doesn't work out for Arina Onishchenko, there's always France.

France should be sending her an invitation immediately.
