Russia Cup 3rd Stage in Sochi (Oct. 23-27)

[Ananas Astra]

I love this look for Tuk.

 

[rfisher]

These kids are such perfectionists, they have trouble handling mistakes.

Scherbakova

OK I like the dress. Very Medvedeva

4F wow indeed. at first glance that looks better than her quad lutz does
3F+3T
2A
2A
3Lz< that entrance
3F+1Eu+3S
3Lz+3T*< foot down

She repeated the lutz, flip, and toe? But didn't attempt the loop at all?

I think maybe first lutz was supposed to be lutz loop combo? Then she tagged toe on the end of the second lutz not thinking???

 

[Ananas Astra]

That triple axel had so much OOMPH!

 

[Hanna]

Yesssssss 3a perfection

 

[alchemy void]

Slay Tuk!

I imagine Daniil choreographing something, realizing there are 3 seconds of a stop/slow choreography during a music change, and he goes back and says ‘Nope, you have to go from one end of the ice to the other in these three seconds with 15 transitions’.

 

[Wyliefan]

Another one starts strong and goes wobbly. Come on, Liza, bring it back.

 

[Ananas Astra]

Wait, was that double axel invalid? Why?

Someone got up a bit grumpy today?

 

[rfisher]

Tuk's 3A is looking good. Now, she needs to spend some time on everything else.

She totally threw this away.

 

[Jeschke]

SP >>> FS.

 

[Hanna]

Don't give it up on the easier stuff!!

Awwww, footwork needs more attitude and oomph!

 

[danafan]

Liza loves doing the 2A as a sequence but they didn’t give her that one...

 

[Wyliefan]

She is really struggling. I wonder just how bad that shoulder injury is.

 

[Jeschke]

I love the entry in the 3lz but it does not work at all with the music.
Well, actually a lot in the program does not seem to fit with it.

 

[Wyliefan]

Darn, I was kind of hoping she could pull up to silver, but that ain't gonna do it.

 

[alchemy void]

Tuk

3A wow
3Lz+3T<
3F< hand
3F+2A turnout on flip
1A+1Eu+3S
3Lz meh
3Lo fallout

After that glorious axel, the timing was off on everything.

 

[Wyliefan]

I don't know if this program is going to work for her. She needs something to bring her to life. This music would work for some skaters, but the monotony of it doesn't fit her.

 

[Lana K]

I miss 2018/2019 Season Liza. Neither of her new programs let her shine, IMO.

 

[tony]

I like this from Tuktamysheva too but I wish she’d go back and work on her footwork and being able to keep up the speed and the pulls from each edge. Also the end just fizzled out kinda. But definitely not as empty as some of her previous stuff.

 

[danafan]

At least she went for the 8 triples layout. I hope she can build on this.

 

[Amy L]

Sad for Tuk. At least she looks smokin hot in that dress.

Do the characters on her dress mean something relevant to her program, and not, like "refrigerators on sale"? I know a lot of people with nonsensical Chinese tattoos, it's a personal interest of mine.

 

[rfisher]

Well, she looks good anyway.

 

[alchemy void]

Just throw on the mumu and reprise Sandstorm please

 

[tony]

Just throw on the mumu and reprise Sandstorm please

I was gonna say, with the improved tech and potential 2 3A it might not be a terrible idea.

 

[vu2019]

Wait, was that double axel invalid? Why?

She turned out of the triple flip and you can't do turns in a jump sequence. The axel-type jump has to be a direct step from the landing of the first jump.

 

[Jeschke]

Russian Cup Standings Senior Ladies (18 spots available)

 

[alchemy void]

My favorite program today was Guliakova. Seriously.

 

[rfisher]

At least Mishin made her laugh.
