[MalAssada]

Polina fell...

 

[Roman09]

Tsurskaya 118.76 60.84 58.92. I was waiting for much more

 

[zamboni step]

Will Maria bust out her super move in the FS?

I read that as "Sugar moves"

Masha 120.37 60.44 59.93 hwell: Could be much better

 

[zamboni step]

Is it just me or has Serafima seemed much slower in both programs here? It's concerning...

 

[Roman09]

I can't breathe. I can't look at this table. I can't eat this foolish popcorn. I'm simply waiting for the end of performance of Zhenya :hopelessness:

Why are the boards so tall here? Why is the zamboni door open?

Anyway...pretty good skate for Sima. One step out at the end...meh. I love her first spin and am surprised at how much improvement has gone into her Beillman.

 

[Totentanz]

I expected this!! 205 total score for Evgenia! She is really in a very top form. Absolute favorite to win World juniors.

 

[Roman09]

Yes!!! 134.10 68.14 65.96 HOW can she always to act so fine?

 

[Totentanz]

Remembering how she had made her debut at Russian Senior Nationals three years ago, this is not really surprising. Evgenia would be the next big thing after Lipnitskaya and Radionova. Maybe she has a growth spurt last season and was behind Sakhanovich and Sotskova most of time. Now she is clearly the best. Congratulations to Evgenia, so happy for her.

Is it just me or has Serafima seemed much slower in both programs here? It's concerning...

She is probably guarding against mistakes after her SP got her behind. She definitely started the season off much better than she is ending it :hopelessness:

 

[Roman09]

As it expected, to JW will go Zhenia, Masha and Sima. Only Evgenia go there as a clear favorite now and Sima go as only the third number

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Has anyone posted/seen Masha's video yet?

 

[Roman09]

I'm looking forward to video of the winner's performance

Nugumanova was so incredible! I think she has the highest base value for jumps in the world right now (3lz+2t, 3lo-3lo 3f, 3lz, 2a-3t-2t, 3s and 2a), not to mention the incredible-lipnitskaya-quality spins, the rippon jumps and so much grace. Maybe the most talented junior (or at least 12-year-old junior) ever? In my book she certainly deserved a medal here.

Thank you!
Some jump landings are not perfect and she singled the axel at the end of her program. But still nice performance. 60 TES is a little bit low for this.

Her jumps are smaller as well. And her landing posture is not secured.

A commentary from one VK user: 'Zhenia skated very well, there wasn't even any small mistakes The rostrum applauded to her for a long time, heads of the federation too. When she left the ice, from the Lodge where they [the federation's heads] were sitting, they said "Well done". I didn't see who it was, perhaps [Alexander] Kogan [The President of RusFed]. I really liked her skating'
