2018 JGP Linz: Ladies pre-game chat

Yeah, it is probably best to go in the last flight, even though both are the standard which everyone else will be judged by. At least it's good for me, I only have to get up for the first flight and then get on with my day! Good luck to them!

Russian skaters are extremely lucky in drawing starting numbers in first flight.

That is the warm-up groups, which I believe, is different from the skate order.

No, that’s the skating order. “Warm-up group” is the term the ISU uses to describe a flight.

I really hope stream will be OK tomorrow...

Looking forward to seeing both Russian girls tomorrow, it will be interesting to see how they compare to Anna S from last week. Great to see that Ireland has a skater. Per her ISU bio she was born in Moscow, her home town is Dubai but trains 24hr a week in Moscow. Hoping she skates to her best.

Interesting. The Irish skater, Elizabeth Golding, is coached by Alexandra Chistyakova. She seems to be relatively young, as she stopped competing only in 2011-2012. She was an ice dancer, first for Russia (but never internationally) and then internationally for Bulgaria.

Anna Kuzmenko is interesting as well. I wonder how she will perform compared to Golding, Kanysheva, Kostornaya?
