Marin is growing fast, ofc she has jump problems. I can't wait to se these russian girls, who are Eteri's students, next year and how their jumps will look like :confused2:
no problems at all so far for Evgenia.

"Seem"? I recommend you slow down her take off and compare it to Rika's take off, by slow motion. I did today and the result is quite telling.In my opinion Marin's jumps seem to be stronger in general than they were last year. I remember being worried about how just barely there some of them seemed at JGPF and Junior Worlds, but so far she seems to be getting more height and more rotation on them.

The caller at this event was CLAUDIA UNGER. She handed out more URs, DGs and edge calls than any caller in recent memory. Many of the skaters that got those URs/DG have skated before in the JGP without getting such severe treatment. These are very young girls, and it has to be devastating to read a protocol that says most of their jumps aren't rotated.
Not marking URs/DG is so not fair to skaters who rotated fully, and not fair toskaters in the same competition who got deduction for under rotation even through their jumps are not that much different from ladies from Russia who got away with it.
The fact that isn't new doesn't make their styles unexciting, Russian ballet will never get old, it is part of their traditions and their culture and you have to respect that, like it or not.
Personally i find Alisa Lozko the most interesting skater to watch this season, even with all these underrotations: i like her programs, so classy and unique, she has a fine posture, her spins are simply a state of the art, and i like how this year Russian Junior skaters are so diverse: you can find the spinners like Alisa or Liza Nugumanova, the jumper like Polina Tsurskaya, the princesses like Alisa Fedichkina, Anastasiia Gubanova,...
Alina was nervous here, but when she is on like in St.Gervais, she has the potential to be the strongest junior lady this season: she dares to do all the jumps of both SP&LP and it's incredibly difficult (no one ever done that before), especially when you have a 3ltz-3loop scheduled and all this rippon variations, she will fight for a medal at JGPF for sure.
