She was a tumbler? She got into skating late anyway and for jumps. This fantasy surya was just never happening. You couldn't even have surya as she was without the tumbling and jumping focus. You have sato! Be happy with sato. Bonaly was never ever going to be a sato! Never cared to be. You absolutely could not have had her as a child doing what was necessary for good skating skills. It wasn't ever going to happen.

It's a hypothetical situation, there's nothing wrong with speculation as long as you don't let it alter your view of her actual skating.

He doesn't have bad air position most of the time and his jumps were not "muscled" in the way you would appear to state it. Muscling a jump means not having enough flow and strength from the edge to do the jump otherwise. The only opening takeoff that could be said about is his Quad and it was not all the time.

Getting back to Tuk.... I have said this before..but I think she really needs to leave Mishin. His skaters do seem to sustain a lot of injuries, which I find concerning. Also, maybe a new coach and choreography could bring some new life to her skating. Perhaps she could train where Sotnikova, Radionova, and Proklova train (I believe they all train at the same facility but I could be wrong). That would maybe give her some extra motivation, as it seems to have done with other skaters recently.
