Lol, I was tempted to go see these new phenoms on IN, but I stopped myself because I honestly don't want to spoil the moment of seeing them skate for the very first time, as my first impression is always my most honest.
So instead I went to watch Agnes Zawadzki again from SC, specifically her SP. And nothing's changed, I'm still not impressed. The music, costume, and choreography are just plain butt ugly (presenting her like a puta). As a result I had to fast forward to get to the jumps. Reality is like a slap in the face. I was expecting to see a power skater with jumps like Tonya Harding. Lol, I was even envisioning perhaps a 3Axel in the future? But I won't write her off yet, there's still time for her Team to package her just right. If she's supposed to be a power skater then show her off as such, complete with attitude, jumps, costume, choreography. The equivalent for a gymnast would be Elena Produnova:

If you weren't impressed with her SP from Skate Canada, please don't watch her FS, that was rather painful to watch and I'm generally a fan of Agnes's skating. Last year she seemed so consistent with her jumps but this season she just keeps falling all over the place. Hope she doesn't turn out like Alexe Gilles, but I'm not holding my breath. Agnes could win nationals or finish down in like 12th depending on which version shows up.
