Liza - fall on 3Lz+3T, but otherwise a very good skate. Didn't let the fall get to her at all.

Sotnikova fell on the 3S (which is her 3 jump combo) but landed her 3Lz+3Lo (and I think it was rotated) and a gorgeous 2A+3T. She'll win easily, I think. Bes flow and speed of the night, but seemed nervous also.
Elizaveta Tuktamisheva (RUS)
3Lz-3T - fall, maybe UR
3Lz - nice height

Great quality jumps, very nice height, shame about the fall on the 3-3 combo.
Score: 107.11
Protocols are up, Sotnikova did get credit for her 3Lz+3Lo. I agree with this call![]()
Adelina Sotnikova (RUS)
3Lz-3Lo - flutz, but it looked rotated
3F - good
2A-3T - nice height
3Lz - spread eagle entrance, flutz
3Lo - nice

3S - fall, too bad

And she wins!
This is strange: Sotnikova didn't get "e" on her lutz, but Liza did, on her flip!
How come Zijun Li's final upright spin (USp1*) was deemed invalid?
I agree, Mishin took Liza from jumping weird and learnt her the jumps and basics from scratch, she doesnt need to leave him now since she hasnt passed puberty also and whatever that brings to her technique, she doesnt get any calls or urs.
Edit:Ok I just saw she did, weird.
Adelina got an e on her flutz in the SP, but not in the LP. Weird. It's not like the order can change, but her score should be closer to 107 with 2 flutzes.
I love Liza's jumps, her height and distance, and she sells them great! Too bad about the flip, surprised about Adelina non get called, but it is great her program overall. I missed the rest unfortunately, came late at work.
