Here is the second part of report on St Petersburg' competition, it is about the final day of the event.

Again it is quite long so I translated only Liza related:
'During a warm-up the Empress Elizaveta first did some easier jumps, then the 3A and then another one in combination with the 2T. The audience went wild. Worth mentioning that preparation time was just a half of that in her SP – would be great to replicate same confident execution in the program .
Then was the actual performance. Elizaveta was the last to skate and was brilliant. Not a single mistake or flaw you could pick up on. All the jumps were magnificent from start to finish, super confident with accentuated beautiful flow outs. All on +2 as a minimum – this is not some home inflation a la American Nationals this is the reality. The score of 146 was absolutely fair, could be 150. This is cosmos.
Unlike the day of the SP, after the LP Lisa simply shone from inside, she was virtually physically radiating a positive energy. I congratulated her on her brilliant performance and wished to win the Worlds. You know it will be odd if someone else wins. Her confidence and ease are simply astonishing. I think I discovered another reason why Lisa & Mishin are working on the 3A: it is not only work for the future domination - Liza would be simply bored without the 3A. The Ice Empress.'

Well, I'm glad it's just a tint... because I'm superstitious and think she should keep everything that's been working for her thus far.
