I do hope that Adelina is back for sure, but I'll reserve judgement until the Free Skate to see whether it wasn't just a fluke or not.

I don't know if it's just me, but does anyone else feel that Lipnitskaya's flexibility is actually causing her programs detriment? The positions she can get are very impressive, but I feel that her choreographer is just throwing some of them in at random times for the wow factor which distracts from the rest of her skating.
I really don't like Tuk's new outfit. I preferred the all black one.
I actually really enjoy the new outfit. The more I looked at the gloves, though, the more I wished that they were both black so I suppose I do somewhat take your point, but I thought this costume added a bit of sparkle and she looked great in it. I'm eager to see if she's also changed the LP outfit.Originally Posted by Macassar88
She will turn 13 on Janary 6.Radionova is a star!! So relaxed, poised and confident! How old is she, 12,13? Jumps aside, she has the it factor written all over her.
There goes the Euros/Worlds team for Shelepen
I really wanted her on the team thanks to her consistency which apparently let her down at the event she most needed it
It seems to me that Eliza skates just okay under pressure. She had no pressure on the gp circuit until the gp final where she had expectations to win. Russian Nats is even more pressure and she falls. Olympics will be even worst if she even gets there from Russian Nats.
lets hope she doesn't use her green neon glittery terrible outfit she wore at the Grand Prix Final
Julia is extremely talented and you can do a lot for her artistry not just showing her already visible flexibility talentsI don't know if it's just me, but does anyone else feel that Lipnitskaya's flexibility is actually causing her programs detriment?

I wish she will drop Morozov soon as a choreographerand maybe switch to Tarasova

Agree. It is like ok we get it already. BUT amazing polish for her age. Reminds me alot of Sasha Cohen with the straight back and gorgeous lines and toe point.
I disagree about her toe-point. She has an excellent toe point on some skills, but in her I spin, she has a flexed food. Also, she could do with some more extension on some moves. I would prefer a straight leg that isn't raised as much to a slightly bent one that it higher.
I rewatched her sp
not only were Julia's Ispin very straight right up but her spins were the fastest yet I have seen from her
no sasha cohen ?
this ia an interesting note of Julia Lipnitskaya's Role Models
http://www.goldenskate.com/2011/12/s...ian-nationals/The 13-year-old lists Italy’s Carolina Kostner and teammate Adelina Sotnikova as the skaters she looks up to.
“Adelina had some troubles with jumps this season, but she still keeps fighting till the end. It deserves a lot of respect,” she explained.

I'm withholding judgment for now about this. It's odd to me that, if that is the case, it seems to always happen in the short program not in the long. Maybe she has some sort of mental block in the short program. I will say that in this case in particular, I thought the lutz looked good going up, in the air, and even on the landing- I wonder if there was a rut in the ice or something. I only watched once so I may be mistaken but I remember thinking the jump was gorgeous and being very surprised when she ended up falling.
She is not my favorite of the current crop of Russian ladies, but I join the people who hope she starts skating well in Russia.
ETA: I also found it very enlightening to read what Julia said about Adelina. I'm happy she has that attitude
I love love love Makarova's SP! I would wish for a spot on the podium if it weren't for her LP.
Does anyone have an upload for Ovcharova's performance?
^
hep, her LP wont help her much this time, even if she gets a clean skate. still GOLD FOR KSENIA MAKAROVA ( so I wont jynx the real winner )
is this her ?
horrible sp music, the remix is just irritating and distracting
she grew and gained weight

OOoo, I got lambasted about this on the JGP threads...Julia is extremely talented and you can do a lot for her artistry not just showing her already visible flexibility talents
I wish she will drop Morozov soon as a choreographer
Yep that's her...thanks!
She really needs to get her jumps down if she wants to be a contender for international events.
I would say she should switch to ice dancing so that she can continue to be uber voidy
(but, yeah, she has gained some weight)
