I think it's a ! at the most. It looked pretty good to me.
Agreed. Under close scrutiny, flat at most. During real-time, hard to spot anything remotely suspect there.

Whenever I heard the Voice of "Jack" near the end of the program, I just could not stop holding my sides with laughter... "My Heart will Go on" for a 17-year-old girl? Really? Perhaps her team believes that this piece of music can strike a responsive chord with American audience at Worlds.My 2 cents of the 3 top ladies:
Elena Radionova - Another skater that I like, jumps fully rotated with good height, etc. (Satoko better not medal at Worlds this time with her so 'obviously' underotated jumps, it just irks me to bits when the judges continue to give her high marks for her jumps!) My only question is - why is Elena skating to this dinosaur piece of music, 'Titanic'? That music is so archaic, the movie itself is 19 years old and Elena is only 17. Elena is youthful, full of exuberance and naturally radiant, she can skate to any music. If the coach wants her to skate to 'modern' music instead of 'classical', there are plenty to choose from her 'own' lifetime and not this sombre, melancholy grandma's favorite called 'Titanic'.
I think edge calls are massively over punished anyway so I don't care if they miss them all TBH.
It looks more like an E once she takes off...but of course the judges are sooo selective.
Right, just as you have nothing against Evgenia in this thread, despite having posted dozens of times this season about how much you don't care for her programs.
Tell me I'm wrong.
I could not comment live , I missed all the fun with you guys.
My few short comments before I zone out :
The best program of the night belongs to Giada Russo, hands down (I would not expected that). Bold, brave, innovative and she moved soooool well. Her awarness is absolutely fantastic. The program was also jammed packed with transitions. Bravo!
Show me the posts where you defended her. And even if you did, you know nothing about Evgenia when you attacked her "3z-3t" when she doesn't have one. Even non-fans know she has a 3f-3t. And when will you compare Evgenia's 3f-3t with Radio's 3f to show you're fair to everyone?
This picture sums up the competition in all
agree ?

I would watch Evgenia over Wagner or Radio of Joshi because Evgenia has more beautiful body lines, more consistent athletic jumps, and more balletic elegant interpretation. Glad the judges agree with me.
Just because Gracie's and Satoko's techincal problems are overlooked too, it doesn't make Evgenia's missing Lutz edge call okay. All of that is a problem. There's a slew of skaters behind them who are not getting this benefit of the doubt. And that makes it unfair.
So much drama but the truth is that as of now none of the Russian senior skaters is younger than 16.
Stop trivializing the issue. Many have been 15 when they were awarded important medals. This whole discussion would dry up if the senior age level were moved up 18. Less mixing of apples and oranges. People(Rus. Fed.?) who oppose this know that their favorite 16 yo will probably not be there by the time they are 18. Sotnikova for example.

Even Adelina too. Russian Cup Finals will be fun for all who enjoy competitive skating.
