It was a big weekend for the Russian women, with so many phenomenal contenders (and of course, the questionable officials and adults in power) but so few qualifying spots for the Olympics and the remainder of the season. It was also a big weekend for the Russian pairs, with some surprising outings, but solid standings and tight competition.

In the women’s event, we cried for Liza Tuktymysheva, were Sofia Samodurova’s hype women, and marveled at Kamila Valieva’s performance. In the Pairs event, we debated over Mishina and Galliamov’s “The Snowstorm” program (and Chock and Bates’ alien program, though we probably should have saved that for American Nationals), and finally enjoyed a Malagueña program.
