Hi everyone. I know we're in the heart of the GP season - and I hate to draw attention away from that - but the subpar women's performances have left me searching elsewhere for my kicks.
Does anyone know in which competition Tuktamysheva gave this performance?
I think it's one of the best women's LPs that's been performed this year, which isn't saying much (only Kim's LP at TEB, Suzuki's LP at CoC, and Flatt at SA have inspired me). To think that Tuktamysheva is still only 12 years old makes me both excited and wary - puberty, please be kind to her.
Tuktamysheva's speed and jumps (correct edges on Lutzes and flips!) are very impressive, and her line is lovely, as well. Just a few more years for her to mature, and who knows what will happen in Sochi.
The other young Russian women are great, too, but Tuktamysheva is my favorite.
Thoughts?
