2023-24 Russian Nationals Women's Short Program

I'm trying to figure out why evanescence is so unpleasant to me. I guess because it came out during that icky time when I was in middle school and hitting puberty for the first time.

 

[alix15]

That hand will cost…

 

[lariko]

...and to make her skate to this package of noise.

It does have a Middle Eastern feel to it. And I love Middle Eastern music. But, this has so much other "noise" (I can't call it music) around it that even that doesn't redeem it.

On the other hand, white noise drumming was better than whatever this mellow dirge is. Is this a secret Canadian pair skater or something?

Evanescence reminds me my emo phase.
Oups, the lutz was too big.

 

[Skating91]

I'm wondering how much she will grow. Now, at 17, she should stop growing and regain all ultra-c. But all the other girls also will grow. This year is maybe the last easy win for Adeliia. But the next years she is also one of the top skater in Russia (injuries not taken into account).

I agree she will still be a chance with the other top girls to win, just not the favourite who can jump 3 quads in the free skate.

It's really fallen apart for Sadkova. Podium chances gone.

 

[brakes]

Too heavy music for girl like Sadkova. Gleikh's miss.

 

[Arwen17]

I like her. The dress is decent. I hate the music choice lol

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Dasha making mistakes when it matters again She's a lovely skater, very flexible, but stability has never been a strong feature of hers.

 

[Kittosuni]

wow she messed up big time

 

[Pairluv]

Sakova has a way to go, but that was a nice step sequence. Pity about the spin. I suspect she loses focus. That comes from nerves.

 

[Mathematician]

Eteri watching her skater literally forget an entire element in the grand final:

 

[elektra blue]

costly mistakes and this cover is criminal

 

[katymay]

Even with the mistakes, pretty generous GOE on some of these elements, especially compared to Katya who was lowballed.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Dikidhzi was kinda waiting to happen for a while, and he also has Ponteleenko. So, he is building up.

Ponteleenko has terrible jumping technique unlike Vlad and won't be senior-eligible for years.

Dikidzhi had a nightmare season. At JNats he looked like he was about to retire.

 

[Paulipau]

Too heavy music for girl like Sadkova. Gleikh's miss.

Yea I felt like it ate her.

 

[yume]

I had too much faith in Sadkova.

 

[Skating91]

That was going so well until the combo

 

[alix15]

However, i like sadkovas style. She improved in her own skating but i dont think she will ever become “a thing” since she was injured last year… for me, she is in the shadow

but they were perfect for all those emotions, i was a teen ager and i totally loved them, they were the soundtrack of my sad sorry afternoons
