Nevertheless 18 is still very young for a pair skater. I don't see the point in dumping Martiusheva now when she has started to get the jumps from time to time.
Gerboldt/Enbert getting higher PCS scores than M/R is just laughable. M/R are absolutely stunning when they're on. G/E were so plodding and laborious, Gerboldt fell and her posture is dreadful. The judges need to stop automatically assigning higher PCS for being in a later warmup group.
I understand Pairs usually peak very late in their careers but
its not an excuse even Bazarova with her tiny jumps who is only 19 is more consistent than Martiusheva
who lands on her butt 50% of the time
well last summer she posted pairs pics of her alone cutting deliberately Rogonov in the pictures
I was certain they had broken up but seemed to have teamed up again
scoring wise well no point to argue here, this is a senior B, results are inflated
regarding puberty sure we said that when she was 16 but Martiusheva is now 18 and has a full womanly figure now, has passed her growth spurt
and she is still a headcase, we can assume if they stick together for a while their careers will be mired by inconsistencies
I couldn't disagree more. Pair skating should be light and graceful. M/R have that while G/E are the complete opposite. And G/E have no choreography.
:agree: just look at Narumi: she almost never lands a sbs clean jump, but she has been World Bronze Medalist (the only time in her career when she actually landed some decent jumps), Martiusheva is not worse than many of the Pairs girls (=not everyone is Meagan Duhamel )They may be inflated for Berton / Hotarek and Gerboldt/Enbert but certainly not for Martiusheva/Rogonov. M/R's PCS were lower last season at their senior B than on the Grand Prix series. She may be a headcase but so are most female pair skaters who are going for SBS triples. The only "consistent" ones are those who play it safe by sticking to double jumps.
Why are you so determined to bring down certain skaters even if they're clearly improving? A few years ago Martiusheva would NEVER have landed a triple in competition. Now she lands them sometimes. Give her credit for improving and stop expecting the impossible. You're living in dreamland if you think there are partners available who will land triple jumps consistently.
valentina landed a good 3flip in the warm-up!
I didn't know she had flip in her program in the past...

Valentina used to include the flip in her programs during both the 2010-2011 and the 2011-2012 seasons, then she never actually attempted it last year (excpet Worlds, ehere she popped it), and now she's doing it again, and the edge looked really improved...She had but with the wrong edge. And she pobably dumped it very early because I don't remember her with a flip. But last season when she jumped am intended double lutz at Euros I wondered why instead of it she didn't do a 3flip no matter the wrong edge, like everyone else does. I tought then that maybe she couldn't land it at all, like she probably can't land the loop either. But she did it here with "e" and with clean landing. I am so upset she didn't go to Jason earlier in her career. She had so much potential but no one to take care of it.
