[Ananas Astra]

Good morning!
I have been a good girl, went to bed early, slept enough, didn't have too many
beverages last night, just to be fit for Russian Nats and simultaneously preparing the Christmas duck later on.

So, boys, bring it on!

As I say whenever I’m in Russia...PAYEHALI!!!!

Ok- music sounding. It’s showtime.

 

[Frau Muller]

Ted’s giving us the geography lesson. It’s 1am in Vancouver, for him.

Ok guys...just watching on TV. I’ll recap after each event.

 

[Ananas Astra]

at the dancing mask boy behind the judges.

 

[Ananas Astra]

Since when have the Russians been using the ISU music?
Call me disappointed, I am so used to Russian Nats being bad taste parties. I demand they open the competitions and presentations of the skaters with some 90s trash muzak.

 

[Karen-W]

No lie, I've missed Ted's commentary this season! "might have been a little under-rotated" regarding Yablokov's 4T. Ya think, Ted? Definitely under-rotated on the replay, lol.

 

[Ananas Astra]

If figure skating doesn't work out for Ignatov, I can see him in Russian cinema. What a handsome guy.

 

[rfisher]

No tracker? I'm surprised since they had it for all the Russian Cup events.

Oh, Makar. To be breathing hard at the end of the short is so you.

 

[Ananas Astra]

That was great from Ignatov...but now I fear for the FS.

 

[Karen-W]

Really great program. I try not to uber any Russian men because they're generally headcases, so I appreciate the warning that he probably is no different.

Tracker just showed up in the middle of Kovalev's program!

 

[Ananas Astra]

Tracker just showed up in the middle of Mozalev's program!

That was Kovalev.

 

[rfisher]

Random falls on footwork are the best.

 

[Ananas Astra]

Is it a prerequisite for the "Angels of Plushenko" skaters to use his old music at some point?

 

[Karen-W]

That was Kovalev.

Yeah, I realized it after I typed it. Like Ted, it's nearly 1:30am for me and I didn't intend on staying up for the men because, again, they're usually headcases and I am making a 3hr drive to my parents tomorrow/later today, lol.

 

[rfisher]

Vika's boys are struggling today. She turns her back in the middle of Zoltov's skate.

Well, she did have to get Murashov ready for his skate. Right? It had nothing to do with the errors on 2 of Zotov's jumping passes.

 

[Karen-W]

Murashov's shirt looks like something Nathan Chen would decide to wear when his latest Vera Wang costume doesn't fit right.

Of course not.

You can spot a Volchkova skater a mile away by costume alone.

This next group has two of my favorites. Semeneko is a future star and Gumennik is my current favorite of the Russian men. They are both doomed.

 

[Karen-W]

PML!!!! Ted just said that the athletes are tested for the crud every day but most of them have antibodies, so they're not as worried. So, uhm, yeah, can we tell the folks in the From Russia With Love discussion to stop trying to claim that it hasn't gone through the Russian team like wildfire?

 

[Immortelle]

Ted forgot there was a senior GP in Japan as well!

And a bunch of them probably got it at Leonova's birthday party, although Shulepov seems to be breathing OK and skating his normal skate. The Perkovas are looking at life after competition.

 

[Ananas Astra]

Lezheev would've won Russian Nats with this content. In 2007. In Ladies.

 

[Immortelle]

It’s saying something when a short program drags on...

He's just happy to be there.
