Nationals are useless when you cant do it internationally
she is the New Kiira Korpi which is not good, you will know she cannot skate a clean FS

Adelina has had a very strong year at Euros and Worlds. As did Kiira until the injury. Whether they skated a perfect FS or not. There are not that many perfect freeskates for ladies.

The scoring in this competition was kinda random...but happy for Akiko nevertheless!

It seems like Mao was injured- she seemed to be in a lot of pain during the skate and especially at the end. She definitely fought through. Even Daisuke seemed worried before she skated.

I love love the team spirit and how the teams are so supportive of the other countries. Their kiss and cry shows are awesome!

Adelina is just 16 years old. Give her a break. She's a much better skater at that age then Korpi could ever have dreamed of being and if she skates clean she will beat Korpi now.

This is not true anyway. The end of that program was an absolute disaster.

And while Akiko did great and was amazing. Ladies world team trophy gold medalist does not exist at all in anyway and just saying symbolically of her great performance is still kind of annoying.

You're thinking of 2012 Russian Nationals where Julia beat her. I'm saying 2011 Russian Nationals where she won the free.

Mao in 5th is just too low, now we know for sure she can't be a rival to Yuna anymore considering if South Korea participated in this competition we all know Yuna would've been first place without a doubt.

What is the point in bringing up Yuna?

Julia is now not so consistent either. Guess what she's going through a growing spurt like Adelina did a year or so. I see her struggling next season just like Adelina did.

I think Julia might be worse-at least Adelina had big jumps as a junior.

GRACIE CONSISTENT?!!??!?! :laugh::laugh::laugh: She's been up and down all season. Which is fine for someone getting used to seniors...why can't Adelina have the chance? She is getting better.

Gracie silver at RC, 6th at Worlds, 3rd WTT
Adelina bronze SA, fluke Euro silver, 9th Worlds, 4th WTT -

Gracie has a better season, Adelina's so far are all disappointing
Julia medalled in her 2 GP even with injuries came back to junior Worlds with a near clean FS and won silver

she did and she still rotated her jumps, we wont know until next season
but she has more tougher mental state than Sotnikova thats for sure.

a clean Julia will near score Adelina's PCS or equal to her
she has beaten Tuks PCS, Julia doesnt even have that smaller jumps, If you want small jumps
then you need to reevaluate Elena Radionova and Satoko Miyahara

No not at all. Its great to see clean skates but Adelina and Kiira didn't do badly this season even without clean freeskates. Not sure why they are criticized so much.

You forgot 4CC, where Gracie placed 6th.

And even with almost clean FS, Julia scored 165 at Jr.Worlds, which is lower than Adelina's or Liza's Worlds score. Adelina and Liza at Worlds were expected to place high or even medal. Julia didn't have to face the same kind of pressure at Jr.Worlds.

You can't fluke a silver when you're that talented. It would only be a fluke if she had never medalled at any event before and were a low talent skater. To make either statement would be ridiculous.

you forgot the panelist and judges were very strict at junior Worlds where the skaters got major Downgrades, edge calls and Urs, Julia lost about 3 points doubling the Salchow and would have won against Radionova. the scoring here was very lenient like Akiko scoring higher FS than Gracie
