Yulia Lipnitskaya

The 3t in her combinations is something special.

I suspect if she goes for a 4t it will be right after a 2a. That seems crazy if you think about it. She posted a video of one of the skaters in her group doing just that...2a-4t. Ill try to find it.

So it's not just me then? Why are her jumps different now?

Because she changed physically with age

She seems much more ladylike in WC Gala with her hair down. I think they did everything they could do to make her look young this year. I am very curious as to how she is packaged next year. I really like this look for her.

It's quite interesting, because on this video she looks to me older than she is currently looking :think:

I posted this elsewhere and I thinks it's buried in this thread somewhere but it's a good article about Russia's boom in figure skating. Good read.

Glad to have another fan on board YLFan! Welcome

On Wednesday, the women’s competition begins, and with it, the return of the exquisite 15-year-old Russian Yulia Lipnitskaya. She has it all: extension, deep plié — especially after she lands a jump — agility and theater. Ms. Lipnitskaya isn’t yet another speed skater posing as a figure skater; her technique is all in the name of drama.

Yulia Lipnitskaya of Russia was among the few to perform with dramatic flair during the women’s team free skating program at the Sochi Olympics.

I agree!!! I hope that next season we get to see her look more her age. I think they made her look younger this season for her programs....so I'm excited to see where they do next year.

Also - those media pics, so funny!!! Ahaha, the face when she's doing the quotations mimic is truly priceless. She's so unamused, haha
