Nope, but Google Translate (Russian --> English) works surprisingly well considering not only grammar, but even the entire alphabet is completely different

It's the same old overscoring + backloading.   Zagitova's step sequence almost got the highest possible score even though it was so basic, compared to Kostner for example...

I feel like the judges are a little generous sometimes at the Olympics. I mean, she was great, but the best ever? C'mon...

Probably no chance for that. She will win bronze medal even with few mistakes.

It's still easier technically than Zagitova, no 3Loop combination and less backloading.

 

It kind of sucks for Medvedeva. If Zagitova skates clean then she will be certainly in front of Medvede a technically, and then it's quite possible that even the maximum possible presentation score wouldn't be enough for Medvedeva to win... That's what happens when judges turn Zagitva's technical ability into huge presentation marks by default.
