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.

im so happy for Adelina

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

Russian champs is more exciting than the EC will...

**Nadine** · 12-26-2011, 06:47 AM

Ah, exquisite, just exquisite, my FAVORITE Russian ladies skater by far!!!!

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!!!!

I'm SOOOOOOOOOOO happy she has finally coped with her g/spurt, nerves atc...She is the 1 to watch out next year!!!

**Nadine** · 12-26-2011, 06:50 AM

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.

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
