Sasha skated like she didn't have any pressure at all. This girl is something else.

Pairs now, ladies on the same channel soon 0,5 h

Savosin and Erokhov over Artur at Worlds (probably) is a real tragedy, why that pop had to happen Aaagh, like really, I'd prefer almost everyone over those two, Mozalev or Kunitsa, but ARTUR ;; Samsonov didn't have a real rival today and he could have even harder layout, did only one 3A and one quad... Also second young boy, Kutovoy, really won my heart today.

oh no, I hope she is alright

I don't remember Sasha making a jump mistake in the SP ever... and with that ur combo at that... Possibly out of last group tomorrow? 10 points behind? O.O She had advantage in the free but only if she hits those quads, it will be very interesting... And yay Ksenia! One of my favourites for sure.

Kanysheva's jumps weren't so stable today, Nastya T should stay 3rd.

Eteri's novice, too nervous, hmm? But a big talent...

I didn't see anything unusual about it. Here, on yt already

Now let's see if Sasha will hit 80. She shouldn't because her PCS should not be even above Anna's, but still has slight edge in tech...

I guess you're refering to leg wrap? Still there, I still don't care It really doesn't bother me if the skaters still can land beautiful jumps with it.

Wow Kosto, I know the scores here are inflated but I don't care, she deserves exactly that score Her presence on the ice is amazing, if she won't make the team for Jr Worlds I will probably have to boycott them.

Shabotova is the one who made a scandal recently by saying everybody in Russia dope, lol. They went with Anna, crazy big score already...

Yeah, no visible mistakes in the first group, incredible... So many countries would be so happy if they could have a skater that is last here... Anna S and Kosto are in 2nd group, a plot thickens

Tarakanova looked a bit different to me than a few weeks ago. Good she finally did a completely clean SP, combo first, good call.

He's 13, July birthday so he missed this season's cut by about two weeks, a shame, could be a bigger revelation than Gogolev... And yes, he's really very, very talented, I hope he stays healthy, because he's a jewel.

Petr is 2nd and Artur 3rd after SP I hope they make it. Samsonov is a beast, I know this is a tiny boy and we don't know what will happen, but yeah he probably will be one of main contenders in coming years, in junior circuit. Now the ladies bloodbath... I'm not sure I can watch all SP live but that will be THE competition...

Historically it's not that unprobable that one of Eteri girls doesn't make the team, because Federation doesn't want to have all competitors from the same camp, or even the same city. But if they all go clean it will be hard not to, because who do you left out, current World Junior Champions, JGPF winner or senior National Champion? If they make mistakes there's a possibility, but seriously I think Sasha is completely safe either way. Also, if they are clean Sasha and Anna win with Kosto because of TES, so I'm really gonna hope she is not the one left out because that would be really just NOT OKAY. And of course my heart is already breaking for 5+ ladies that deserve to be on the Worlds team as well, and would be in any other country but Russia... Erokhov is cometing here... I kinda don't like him and don't want to take a spot from other boys ;; (sorry). I hope Petr, Artur and Kirill make it, but it's not very probable especially for Kirill...

Tbh he doesn't lose base value even with 70% for the sequence (that really is a nonsense than THAT sequence gets 70%...) because otherwise he has to do 3-2 combo and that's certainly worth less. Point differenece might be not necesarry worth how ridiculosly harder it is though. And he probably could get higher GOE with two seperate 3As... Probably. I'm gonna trust he will do his best with anything he can and if this time for some reason it's not enough, because there's just not enough time to upgrade the tech too much, he will be back even better. One day we'll definitely get that clean program with 4A.

Sorry, I thought I have a big imagination, but you clearly win We have to remember boy possibly didn't even start to jump yet, guys

And I believe he actually takes Nathan's scores a lot more calmly that most of us here. No 4A. He's more rational than that.

Yes, that! I understand if there's some mental block about that jump, that's pretty normal. And I certainly don't need him to do it. But It'd be nice if he can get it back eventually, if he wants to. And I believe he wants to, not like it's necessary, and other things are more important, but still. And yes, that day in November that could happen on any jump.

I think we will never know beforehand when he actually decides that, but I guess the discussion about 2020 is because before people where discussing about 2019 and he actually said about plans for the next season, so. I guess some people still can't understand how he can still want to skate after everything he accomplished. Seriously, I really think he doesn't know yet, and will know when the moment comes. If his health allows, my guess he still have a few goals left.

Brian was diplomatic here, he said that he will be ready and prepared (and who can doubt that after pulling off last Olympics? ) I hope he will be recovered completely I also totally believe Yuzu is smart about the recovery.

I'm sure he would withdrew if it was really bad, Worlds are much more important here. I'm still a bit worried...

whatever you say about them being close or not, their relationship really was (is) special
