2021 Rostelecom Cup: Women's Free Skate

[prorussian fan]

I'm really on board Kamila's train, she's awesome, the Bolero program really fits her like a glove.
However, 76 points for PCS at this point I think is too early, I do not understand the point of the judges, 72 would have been something more real, which could show their progress until the Olympics.

And we’re back 2017/2018… a younger, fresher, technical wizard… with quads in Ladies there will always be a fresh fifteen who can do more and older teens who no longer whose wizardry is a thing of the past. I feel Scherbakova will be in the team event and if Trusova heels, she will as well. They both deserve an Olympic gold for everything they’ve done, they were the first to have done the unimaginable. Kamila is a lock for
gold in individuals.

I find it really sad many of these Russian girls who work their butts off can't hope about winning the Olympics purely based on the fact that their first senior year is not an Olympic year. Akateva knows no less than what Valieva knew as a junior skater but she will almost be a veteran in 2026.

OMG thank you Mr Cameraman for the closeup of that thing on the back of Valieva’s shoulder! It’s a snake, I’ve been wondering and wondering what that weird tab-looking thing was on her costume, every time I’ve seen her skate.

I don’t know what a snake has to do with Bolero, but I’m glad to know what it is, at last!

She’s supposed to be interpreting a snake in her Bolero program.

If you adjust the factor in the PCS
I'm Pretty sure Yuna Kim beat Evan Lysacek
(Might've been just the FS though)

Funnily she just about didn't, for both. But she would outscore on Total Score if the men didn't have the 8th jump.

Sorry for disappearing from the chat, but my WiFi connection wasn‘t stable and I thought, while I’m here, I might as well watch some skating and take pics and vids for Insta instead of fiddling about with my phone.

Liza Tuktik - the hottest girl in town! Totally love her, loved the performance. She’s got such an aura around her, it spreads throughout the arena. Congrats to the silver.

I really like Kamila’s Bolero, she just delivered and Team Tutberidze was great to watch as well. They moved all at the same time together with their skaters, Eteri and Danya in sync, Dudakov differently.

It is known as the Besti squat for Natalia Bestemianova and was created by coach Tatiana Tarasova.
My guess is that it is an homage of sorts.

I also think it looks great.

And she has the third best score among Russians this season.
That's why olympics' weight in a career needs to be decreased.

Edit: Actually Tukt scored 0, 22 more at Finlandia.

Amazing ladies competition at the RC! I guess the top three qualifies for GP final. I won't be surprised to see Kamila and Liza medal in the GPF as well.

That would be my dream: Liza with a GPF medal.

 

[yume]

Must be the first time that the top score in women is higher than the top score in men, in a major competition (i mean no senior B or challengers). Has it happened before?

Found this.

Liza is a rock this season. So what if she's giving Katarina Witt presentation and limited ice coverage, she has tons of presence and she's landing her jumps. Praying she makes it to the Olympics.

 

[LadyB]

No skating event without Roxanne.

I can live easily with Roxanne, but that I had to sit in a live event having Bla Bla Land (Kazuki) and Cathedraaaale (Ryabova) thrown at me made me…think of many of our conversations and @elektra blue ‘s monkey!

Thank you! I’ve seen this program several times now, and I would not have guessed that at all. Nor do I associate snakes with Bolero in any way!

Lady B, I guess you did not see that we in the community here had questions we needed for you to ask Fedor? It would have been your duty to search him out and speak to him about these things. No one there could possibly have had a reason to deny you access to him

 

[Mista Ekko]

And you are totally wrong if you mean at the Olympics:

XXI Olympic Winter Games 2010

Event results for XXI Olympic Winter Games 2010 2010.

www.isuresults.com

Lysacek FS 167,37 and total score 257,67
Kim FS 150,06 and total score 228,56

Kim Isn't 150 adjusted*

Whoever are 11 year olds now are the one's you should be looking at for 2026

Unless the rule change happens

I’ve reacted to your request in the meantime. Sorry I couldn’t be of help, I watched him like a hawk, but we didn’t meet on this occasion.
Tip: If you want Golden Skaters to read a post, insert their name with a prefix @, like @xyz.

 

[Jammers]

We are truly in a new era of ladies skating when a 154 LP gets beat by over 30 points.

 

[withwings]

... of rather the attempt to kill the soul of figure skating is in progress...

 

[Tinymavy15]

Sorry Anna fans, but if Kami keeps this up there is nothing Anna can do. Not even 5 quad Sasha stands a chance.

Is she human? Or is she the perfect Eteri girl of all time? Damn, If she doesn't get show nerves / pressure at the Olympic games I think she's a Eteri bot.

Honestly tho that skate would beat all the men out there.
