Anna POGORILAYA (RUS)

Music: The Firebird Ballet Suite by Igor Stravinski

Red/yellow swirly dress, gloves

3Lz+3T
3Lo+1Lo+3S
CCoSp3p
StSq
3F - e, hand down, hangs on
3Lz - hand down
2A
2A
3Lo+2T - 'tano toe
FCSp
LSp
ChSq

Two hands down, otherwise solid. Probably not enough to threat for gold/silver, but bronze should be safe

FS: 65.14+60.57 = 125.71, 191.81, 1st (out of 19)

Good for Anna! A little dicey at some points but she fought for it. Bronze should be out of reach for anyone else now and realistically that's the best she probably could have hoped for. A great competition for her on her quest to cement herself as Russia's Number 3.

 

[Mirunna]

Good enough Pogo
Now please stop looking so sad

 

[Shayuki]

Pretty good, too bad about those mistakes.

I dunno... we are in Sweden.

 

[Crossover]

Anna made noticeable mistakes unlike her SP, but enough for the bronze I guess. She seems slower than at Nationals.

Number 3? No hope as far as I'm concerned.

 

[tulosai]

Good enough Pogo

Yeah I know, right? if she cries again I don't even know what I'll do

 

[Alchamei]

Anna didn't look very confident. No falls, but two stepouts and wonky spins again.

 

[gravy]

Cinquanta yawning... the man is just a living faux pas

I wouldn't think too much of it. Speedy probably yawned during Mao's Sochi LP.

Too bad about the hand downs, but an overall improvement over the GPF and CoR. I don't remember how she did at Nationals. I know she was 3rd/4th, but was it a bad skate?

 

[euroskate]

she is in another leage then the Skaters bevor but still this of Kind of meh... im am not going to remember this firebird

 

[LittleLotte29]

Two 2A - why didn't she add 2T at the end of one (like at Nationals when she struggled with 3Lz)? It's gonna make her score lower
Otherwise, I love everything in this program - music cut, choreography, how she expresses the music, her jumps. Maybe only spins could be better.

 

[EdgeCall]

I think this was a great interpretation of firebird in the first half. In the second half she visibly lost steam though.hwell:

 

[Sandpiper]

Pretty good effort from Anna jumps-wise. But she the skate, during the skate, and after the skate, she looked like she was going to cry. I don't think she captured "Firebird" on the night (EDIT: Er, day).

Best part: half loop combo. :yay: Worst part: he Biellmann and illusion spin. :hopelessness:.

 

[CutieP]

Come on Elenaa!!!

 

[Meoima]

I am sure she will get the bronze. Wew!

 

[tulosai]

Number 3? No hope as far as I'm concerned.

Maybe not next year but for this her Worlds spot is definitely safe now. And we'll have to see what the Juniors can do next year- look at Lipnitskaia this year. At least Anna seems to have her grown up body which can't be underestimated.

That was the most cold kiss I ever got
