Sasha's practice was great. Her speed was amazing across the ice and she was very focused, I like that. You Go Girl!!!
If nothing else, Sasha still has the best ******* posture of any skater in the business. A very refreshing change from all the slouching going on.
Pics from her practice.
She's made of pure muscle:

Only Sasha can make a Biellmann spin look imperious:

There is no doubt, no hesitation at all:

“If you would have asked me about her before the practice, I would have said, Eh, she’s been gone too long,” said Brian Orser, Gao’s coach and a former Olympic medalist for Canada. “But after seeing her, I think she was great. In some ways, she’s better than before. Her speed and her jumps, like her double axel, are better. I saw a beautiful triple flip. I think she’s back in the hunt.”
Really? In the you-tubes it looked like she was whizzing by the boards, to me.
Wow. She looks more focused than I've ever seen her be. And those muscles are bordering on dangerous. I hope she does well tomorrow and Saturday.
She is nowhere near as muscular as joannie, watching that practice, I was thinking she looks borderline too thin. I doubt she weighs more than 90 pounds! Her jumps look a little higher than 2006 and her spirals are still gorg but i agree with whoever said that it will just depend on who is clean. The lutz is still pretty bad and the flip is her nemesis so we'll see.
Another thing, her biellman is weird looking, with her head sticking out. I think the way Mirai does it with her head back is much prettier. Sasha is decently fast compared to Caro, Alissa, and Rachael, but not so fast as Mirai and Ashley.
I wasn't comparing her to Joannie, but to how she's looked in the past. Weight loss would certainly explain why her muscles really pop out at you now.
This is OT but Mirai is (a lot?) faster than Ashley, right? I've always gotten that sense watching on the tv.
