I wonder what deductions they’ll find for Sasha so Anna can go second again. Even my 8 year old child could see the UR’s.
The slow-mo replay did not do Anna any favors. It showed her bad sideways picking in several jumps. I'm honestly surprised they highlighted it.Her TES didn’t go down, how surprising
Bronze is far to generous with this skate…
Anna never finished behind someone else but her russian teammates in any of her senior competitons and for me she is besides Kamila the safest bet to sweep the podium and with her international performances she still is a lock in my eyes to the olympic team.Yeah Kamila deserves to be the new National championship. It´s just so lovely to watch her. I love that she doesn´t put in more quads, i´m sure she can, but instead she skates and clean and solid. If there is one to count on at OG, it´s her! Congratz!
And then I can continue being mad about the obvious turning the blind eye on certain skaters.
But serious though, Anna has not been up to her standard this season and I´m not sure if it would be wise of the RusFed to have her on the OG Team if they want every medal in OG given her current form. She wasn´t just shaky tonight, we have seen it before this season. Judges in Bejing might not ignore her errors...
25 is old?? Ok.Am I insulting? Wasn't it always said about her that she was old enough?
Yeah, she was the last skater to go, she skated lights out, she's frankly miles ahead of the rest of the field the world over, I think this was just a way of paying tribute to her achievement. it's not r completely serious scoring, sure, but what the hell?Kamila received 26 out of 50 10s in PCS.
She at least made them part of the music and skating patterns, and those are two GOE bullets for the jumps. Her spins, steps and presentation are better. Every point counts.But Anna's jumps are of the best quality?
Please, Rusfed, send Anna to Olympics. Wide open door for Japan, US or Korea. This program would've scored no higher than 140 by international panel. Between ice dance and women, Eteri is sabotaging Russian medal chances in individual and team events. Also, does Rusfed think that China will let in Olympic athletes with poz Covid test? The dearth of masks seems to indicate that!Yeah Kamila deserves to be the new National championship. It´s just so lovely to watch her.

No. I'm fine with Anna getting the bronze because reputation matters but I don't like untruthful statements and this is clearly not true. Adelia, and both Sofias have better SS, better jumps, and better spins than Anna. Plus, they didn't have 3 clear URs ignored.She at least made them part of the music and skating patterns, and those are two GOE bullets for the jumps. Her spin, steps and presentation are better.

If Anna skates like this at the Olympics then she should be off the podium- realistically. Kinda hope they do send her and she skates as she did today. Then perhaps it’ll be karma for the federation. If she skates like this again she’ll blow the hopes of an Olympic Russian sweep.
In your dreams. As we say - "there are no such fools among us"
Even Sofia S, really? With her jumping quality? She has real UR, not imagen.No. I'm fine with Anna getting the bronze because reputation matters but I don't like untruthful statements and this. Adelia, and both Sofias have better SS, better jumps, and better spins than Anna.
Yeah, sure, real sabotage.... You are aware Tutberidze is also Valieva's coach, right?Please, Rusfed, send Anna to Olympics. Wide open door for Japan, US or Korea.

Together with a clean SP in most cases this would be still enough to finish 3th at the olympics.Please, Rusfed, send Anna to Olympics. Wide open door for Japan, US or Korea.

People tend to forget that beside the quad Anna has an insanely difficult layout with THREE 3+3's. Sure the Loop combo was messy, but she rotated it, and got negative GOE on it.The scoring's an atrocity but what's new. I don't even mind Valieva's (because she would have won anyway) but I can't believe Shcherbakova's on the podium when she landed no quad and had problems on triples. When there were skaters who landed MULTIPLE quads and clean triples....... Sorry but that's insane
"karma" Things are really bad if it has come to this level of argumentationIf Anna skates like this at the Olympics then she should be off the podium- realistically. Kinda hope they do send her and she skates as she did today. Then perhaps it’ll be karma for the federation. If she skates like this again she’ll blow the hopes of an Olympic Russian sweep.
I’m shocked that some fans of skating think it’s okay to cheat for a skater or coach at the expense of others that have worked just as hard.
I think you guys should be VERY careful about karma. Since it strikes hard, real hard, but i guess haters just don't learn.If Anna skates like this at the Olympics then she should be off the podium- realistically.
