2021 Russian Nationals Ladies SP

[danafan]

I wish they hadn't shown those two single axels LOL.

Ted has "enjoyed every moment of every skater." I believe that as much as the grandparents who told me they "enjoyed every moment" when their children were babies and toddlers.

He sits through 40+ junior level skaters, some with PCS in the 1's and 2's... I'm quite sure he is enjoying every moment of this event.

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

They already said so. They are planning another event instead of Euros and then RC Final.

 

[Vagabond]

I thought we were going back to Russian Nationals after the break, but this must be U.S. Nationals, no?

 

[Kateri]

Proud of Anna for skating as well as she did, but I'm assuming the plan is to withdraw her before the LP. It sucks to not defend her title, but that was not the breathing of someone who can keep going for 4 minutes.

Works for me. I could watch Russian pairs multiple times.

Kostina

-2a
-she needs to bend her knees and generate some speed and power
-3z fall
3f-2t she's got a bit of a leg wrap

A happy-to-be-here kind of skate.

This is a long shot but do you think there's any chance they would open up Not-Euros to skaters outside Russia? So we get a field similar to Rostelecom?

That music was a loooooot, although appropriate to the holiday season I guess.

 

[alchemy void]

SLAY TALALAIKINA!

Kogan said they are having a meeting after Russian Nats (on Sunday), they will discuss these further plans at that meeting and announce some news to the press, I guess.

From her interview it looks like she will skate the FS tomorrow. I'd be glad to be wrong though.

Anna, the most important thing is your health!

The original was one of my high school graduation songs. I've always liked it as much as I like Feelin' Good.

 

[Wyliefan]

Her jumps make Sofia's look gigantic.

 

[mjb52]

These girls always inspire me to want to wear more make-up. I bought some liquid eyeliner after a past Russian skating event and ended up looking like a raccoon that had been in a fight when I tried to use it.

 

[alchemy void]

I loudly yelled ****K at that 3Lo fall. Merry Christmas.

 

[Wyliefan]

Sister's here, so I have to bow out for now. I'll try to follow along at FSU at least!

 

[her grace]

Talalaikina

-2a
-3z-3t pitched over on first landing
-nice speed into the 3r, but fell

mature performance

 

[rfisher]

SLAY TALALAIKINA!

You just had to jinx her didn't you?

Do NOT tell Nugu to slay.

 

[Vash01]

I want voice overs banned in skating.

 

[alchemy void]

Glinka in the K&C

I initially thought you were drunk. Now I think you need to get drunk.

This was one of my favorite programs so far, even with mistake.

 

[Vash01]

Talalaikina is a lovely skater but a fall just took her out of any chance for the final group. Nice to see her smiling.

 

[alchemy void]

On replay, Ted calls Talalaikina's 3Lz+3T a 3F+2T.

YOU'RE DEAD TO ME, VASH

 

[Ka3sha]

I am disappointed we didn’t get Glinka in K&C with Ignatov today

Everyone I've cheered for has fallen. Lesson learned.

You listed to Dick Button misidentify 90% of jumps for how many years? More of the same

 

[Colonel Green]

C'mon, Plushy, give us a death metal SP for Trusova for the Olympic season.
