2021 Russian Nationals Ladies SP

[Wyliefan]

Ted has this weird obsession with skating parents.

 

[Wyliefan]

And now Piaf!

 

[Vash01]

Arina O. Is a cutie. Clean skate. Not sure I liked the music.

 

[mjb52]

The addition of lyrics has really made for some ironically timed falls.

 

[Colonel Green]

Je regrette cette combinaison.

 

[rfisher]

There's something about Piaf that hurts one of my Poodles ears. I have to mute the music.

 

[her grace]

Molchanova

This one's a new skater for me. Let's see how she does.

-3z-3t (rippon) fall on the toe
-nice 2a
-knocking on the door, love the Russian commitment to overly literal choreography
-3f good
-the step sequence moved nicely across the ice

pretty good.

 

[Vagabond]

This concludes our special coverage of French Nationals. We will return you to Russian Nationals after the break.

ETA: Even with his face half-covered with a mask, Alexei Urmanov is, as always, a very handsome man.

 

[Vash01]

Stasia M. Coached by Urmanov.
Went down on the second jump of the combo. Nice clean jumps in General. Elegant.
61.98 Good score.

Ted knows who pays the bills.

I enjoyed that brief selection of fun Russian rap(?)

Wow, the contrast from Samodurova's voice to Maia's has given me whiplash!

 

[Vash01]

Tsibinova didn't do a 3A. That was Valieva. Tsibinova was clean.

I wonder if I missed Tsibinova and saw Valieva but thought it was Tsibinova? Quite possible, but I started watching on the iPad when they were in warmup. Then I switched on the computer. My computer must be extremely slow.

In case no-one is watching the news, there was a bombing of a building in downtown Nashville. Few injuries/casualties but building is a wreck.

 

[AxelAnnie]

The little buddy who skated to Miss Piaff was totally charming

I don't see any reports of casualties.. is this an update within the last few minutes?

Also, it seems that it was an RV that exploded in the middle of the street and broke out the windows/doors of the apartment buildings nearby.

 

[Wyliefan]

Last I heard, there were injuries but no fatalities.

 

[PRlady]

Last I heard, there were injuries but no fatalities.

Yes, sorry, that's what I heard. I have a staffer living close by (or visiting his family for Xmas, actually) and he said it was a huge blast.

 

[Wyliefan]

Glad your staffer is OK.

 

[tony]

Of course they zoom from Trusova giggling and pulling Plushenko near directly to Daniil.

 

[mjb52]

Oh wow, I had Tuktamysheva's last name all wrong in my head.

 

[danafan]

I'm so nervous. Why did Tuktamysheva draw to skate last??

 

[rfisher]

She loves the ?

 

[Ananas Astra]

My brother, his gf and doggy Mila are coming over now, so I might miss some of the final group. Damn.

 

[Ananas Astra]

Trusova has a new dress. It's pretty, but I liked the green one better.

 

[danafan]

Tutkamysheva warmed up a nice triple loop and then a triple lutz. What's her actual jump layout going to be?

 

[Ka3sha]

I don't expect anything from Liza here - it's Liza, she can bomb when she is favored to win and then slay against all the odds, she has just recovered from c19, it's an awful draw for her, it's Russian Nationals with all younger jumping beans.
She just has to qualify to the Worlds later this season, that's it

 

[rfisher]

Well, we have every major coach standing at the boards.

Tutkamysheva warmed up a nice triple loop and then a triple lutz. What's her actual jump layout going to be?

3A, 3Lz-3T, 3Lo, I guess

I fully expect the Fed to use the Russian Cup final as some sort of skate off since Kostornaia isn't here.
