No, I always pick on her "current" skating. I'm specifically talking about THIS performance.Originally Posted by koatcue
If she continue to lift her leg, then that's something to talk about, right?
What is this logic you're using? If someone was tacky in the past, and got criticized for being tacky. Then this someone become tackier in the future, since they were criticized for being tacky, they can't be criticized again?

One thing is to criticize, another - to simply insult her:-/ I recall your "animalistic" comparisons: monkey, now dog..who's next? remember, she is a 14-year-old.she has loads of time to improve her skating)
IMHO, Lipnitskaia doesn't have the X factor of Radionova, who's vivacious, sparkling, energetic and dynamic on the ice. She smiles, projects herself, and sells her program. Great showmanship. Loved her costume. I hope Julia can learn to put more feeling out there.
Well, in addition to her inability to listen to music, she can't listen to criticism either. No one likes them leg pulls, ok? She's 14. It shouldn't take that long to drop her leg down. It's been more than 2 years and she can't even fix a simple issue, there's no hope to improve anything else.
What makes me really sad is that I remember her Kung Fu Panda SP from when she was 12. She was playful, perky and showed good character. I loved her that season.
But this season and last, she's been skating totally through the music, looking very disinterested in her own skating. :/
Falling on a jump affects the overall quality and presentation of a program and you'd think something like that would be part of the criteria in an area listed as Performance/Execution, but you're right. It's not.
Still, this raises an entire different set of questions regarding some of the scores these girls received...good lord this scoring system is all kinds of fcuked up.Performance/Execution; is the physical and emotional involvement of the skater/couple as they translate the intent of the music and choreography (e.g. carriage, style, personality, variety, contrasts, projection)
How come? Are you a prophet?
Just for info.
Radionova was 3rd after SP at Russian Cup III, because of 1F instead of 3F.
At FS and Total she was 1st.
I think she skates through right now because she concentrates too much. as soon as she feels confident enough, she'll perform
It only affects the overall quality and presentation of a program if a skater lets it affect it. If a skater doesn't let it affect it and keeps presenting the program well as if nothing had gone wrong, then I don't see any reason to reduce the PE mark.
Radionova didn't miss a beat after that fall. She got up, got back into the program and the second half was as good as the first, if not better.
The judges need more guts to mark PCS independently of the TES and independently of each other.Still, this raises an entire different set of questions regarding some of the scores these girls received...good lord this scoring system is all kinds of fcuked up.
It's an educated guess. I mean, even I can drop a leg in less than 2 years.How come? Are you a prophet?
well Julia's season hasn't been that stellar , she has struggled with many injuries this season not to mention the music choices are not really a masterpiece
give her next season I think she'll go back to choosing classical music for the Olympics season
I really want to like Julia but her skating is very cold. She's like a statue out there...
Elena is very unrefined and coltish BUT she is so entertaining! I usually hate SPs like hers but she gets into the music so much I can't help but enjoy it. What's even better is that she tones it down in the FS with a more classical/traditional program and proves that she can slow down, listen to and feel the music. Versatility in skating is a great thing to have.
Things like refinement and polish should come with age, but it's not always easy to teach a skater to connect to their music or movements or project to the audience and feel the music. I'm glad to see that Elena is already good at these things and it makes me hopeful for her future as a skater and performer.
Radionova is on her way to becoming Russia's star skater - she has the whole package - the skating, looks, personality. Hate to say it but Pogorilaya (sp?) looks a bit gawky on the ice. And piling on so much makeup isn't doing her any favors. This isn't Synchro

Again, way to pick on a child. She's a child.It's an educated guess. I mean, even I can drop a leg in less than 2 years.
Her leg is part of her choreography emphasized by her coaches/choreographer, so I don't see how her failure to listen to your complaints in any way denigrates her behavior. If there's any one to blame, it'll be her choreographer. So many people blame the skaters for the scores they get, and now they're solely responsible for their presentation as well by people like you.
She's a child.
