This one reminds me of Kimmie Meissner. :) Except for the turnout on the 3R, she was superb! :clap: Spins, jumps, spirals, presentative, absolutely divine dress, (MY FAV), well-rounded skater. Will keep an eye on her in the future. :love:

Thank you for comments, guys. I'm at work and can't watch the competition, so online results and your comments are all I have :)
Can't wait to watch Radionova and Lipnitskaya, guess they rocked the house :) Elena will be eligible for JGP next season, let's see if she will follow Julia's footsteps and blow everyone away there.
Poor Polina Shelepen :( She was so consistent all season, it's just not fair! I still hope to see her at Euros, if she will skate her LP clean, maybe they'll give her a chance to take the third spot, IMO, she deserves it!
Liza :( I have no doubts her LP will be much better though.
Fingers crossed for Adelina! :)

Korobeinikova really is living up to her "Russian Alissa" nickname in the presentation department...the way she holds her arms especially. I hope she can do a good LP tomorrow and get a Euros/Worlds spot...

I am so happy for Adelina! Great skate and deserved lead. Woooo :)

Julia was also very good and I think Radionova was robbed - she should be in third right now! Stunning 3Lz+3T.

Is there no age limit at RN? The first thing I thought when I saw this young one & her program was kindergarten, her jumps come to a dead stop, but nice flexibility. Really needs more power & speed, which should come as she matures. Jmho.

ps: loved seeing Adelina warming up in the background. :)

I'm really going to have to stop looking at the thread after I post b/c I note those that are watching it live (instead of tape delayed like moi) have posted that Adelina won. :)

This is how you come back after a bad start of the season. All the pressure in the world on her shoulders, now she had to defend her title, to be honest I was sure she will bomb. She is stronger than I thought

Ah, exquisite, just exquisite, my FAVORITE Russian ladies skater by far!!!! :love: :clap: :cool: Seriously, she's miles & miles & miles ad infinitum above everybody else. Like watching a S-T-A-R!!!!!

And the dress is to-die-for. I thought the purple one couldn't be topped, but I was wrong. Her Bolero is my second all-time version after Torville & Dean's.

She makes me feel, and her jumps are divine, big & huge & gorgeous.

If it came down between her & Mao, it would be hard for me to choose, depending on the day and how I feel I could choose either one. But Adelina is the tops for me! Moreso than any other female skater skating today, and that includes everybody.

BRAVO, ADELINA, BRAVO!!!!

ps: lol Adelina's gorgeous red outfit actually reminded me of a court jester (in a good way mind you), which brought to mind the late Queen Mother, whom was the last person on earth to have an official court jester when she was a child, and that's the truth. :love:

Where is Rosa Sheveleva?

She didn'd qualify for nationals.

Compared with how other skated, I actually think Adelina was underscored! I mean she landed the most difficult jumps, and spins, steps and everything was top notch. She should be more than 5 points ahead of Julia. Comparing their Technical score I wonder if Adelina was hit with UR or "e" on her Lutz
