Elizaveta Tuktamysheva

Maybe a little but not much. The long flight there was tiring though. 19hrs and 2 stopovers.

I was going to say maybe she could have done the Senior B in Canada, but it looks as though she went back to Russia after Coupe de Nice -- don't know if it's feasible for her to spend two weeks in Canada, anyway. Crazy travel demands in this sport. :hopelessness:
 
Both of my favorite have great come back from bad SP! What a day for me! Love you Liza, my queen my diva!
 
I watched most girls' FS, but the only impressive performance is from Osmond, even with 5 falls. Since 4 points in PCS are already a big gap between Liza and the champion, I don't know what they are complaining about. Even though I am not an athlete, I can still feel the enormous pressure under which Liza is competing. As a reigning world champion,it is understandable that people are always watching her skate with a critical eye, but it is better not to go beyond the boundaries of innate bias and hysterical personal attacks. I don't know what to say, but right now it looks like a very difficult moment for Liza as well as for her team. Hopefully she can tide over it smoothly and regain her fierce confidence in the latter part of the season. I am fully confident of her abilities.:yes:

Still, congratulations to Liza on her silver medal at SC! :cheer:
 
What do you think of the alarming PCS difference in FS between Yuzuru and Chan, Meoima?
I think we have to accept the fact that it's Skate Chanada. :hpull:
I'm also annoyed at the PCS gap between Liza and Ashley. But we have to accept the fact that NA audience and judges will always prefer NA skater's style over Russian style.:eekn:

After taking a close look at the detailed results sheet, I am really shocked to see the huge difference not only in technical merits but also in PCS scores between Yuzuru and Chan! Simply unbelievable! Just keep in mind that Yuzuru is the Olympic champion and his LP for the new season is the best program I have ever seen from him! I am really mad about all these! :mad:

But both Liza and Yuzuru have great redemption skate with huge tech. So I am happy. Yesterday I almost thought they would be off the podium.
 
A short interview with Mishin http://rsport.ru/figure_skating/20151031/875950488.html
Basically he said that things are going smoothly and most important of all, Liza won the LP with the inclusion of 3A element, despite its flawed landing. About her double lutz in the SP, Mishin pointed out Liza's incomplete readiness for her first start at SC, but he praised her fighting spirit shown in the LP.
 
Interesting intepretation by Simonenko on how Liza fought her way back...

"Anger as motivation

According to the old judging system of chance, it must be noted, would not be at all. After all, there are winners are determined by the amount of employment in the short and long programs, places, multiplied by the appropriate factor. And from the seventh position Tuktamysheva, of course, the top would not get out. Now, as is known, it is important not to an intermediate position, and the lag in points. It is Lisa was not fatal. Yes, half a dozen points was the leader of the American Ashley Wagner - a bit too much, but the separation from the rest of Tuktamysheva could easily eliminate if qualitatively execute arbitrary rolling, and preferably with their "brand" Axel is three and a half turns.

The problem is that this season, the Russian has still never any program on normal competition is not rolling out. And resist after the triple axel she too failed. The chances that in Canada it will change for the better, it was not so much because the problem with the physical form were observed with the naked Lisa, what is called the eye. If even in the short program Tuktamysheva looked really tired, then what about the arbitrary, which is one and a half times longer than ...

But the warm-up before any program in the eyes of the Russians was obvious something was not observed recently. It's not even focus - and, as it seemed the most natural anger. Anger at those who have had the idea that with skating Tuktamysheva is that not the favorite in the fight for the Russian domestic trips to European and world championships. Anger over that gave occasion for such thoughts.

And then, in the box office, was furious approach to the first element, which meant - to be a triple axel. However, a blot on the landing - but the landing. And then it was jumping stages, rotation and footwork for every taste - and all with a positive assessment of judges. And then emotions were still somewhere in the middle of the program - yes, it was again the very angry! And finally, in the end a deafening bang the invisible to anyone who bothered to ride all these months since Lisa, as she did today

Wagner won a football philosophy

This was a knockout blow to almost all rivals. After Tuktamysheva skater, one after another took to the ice to go out with him in a state Grogg. There were two exceptions. The first was an American Polina Edmunds. Figure skater with Russian roots of angular girl, she was a year and a half ago at the Olympics in Sochi, is transformed into a stunning girl, but most importantly - her skating wonderfully combines "our" with "not ours." In the best sense. Clean up technique, remove nedokruty, work on the "physics" - and the glory of one of the most prominent skaters of the world from Paulie can not escape. In the meantime, Edmunds nedokruty sent only in sixth place, which is, frankly, seemed nonsense.

And, of course, withstand the impact Tuktamysheva Ashley Wagner. She is speaking the language of football, skating on the principle of "the best defense - the attack." That is his 15 points advantage rushed to defend without any thought about how to simplify the program and make a bet on the reliability. And the judges encouraged her for the courage - despite their usual nedokruty, Wagner established the second in two days for a personal record of points, is now in the long program. And at the same time and the third - on the sum. Ashley in any box behind the Lisa's a little less than two points, but gold "Skate Canada" and an American won the confidence of the case.

At the same Tuktamysheva silver and a reason to be angry on. That, as it turned out well for her. Angry, Lisa, get angry!"


Of course who knows if Liza was really "angry" or not but it's an entertaining read.

I thought the gap in free skate should have been a bit bigger with Ashley..Well:think: Her 1st place was out of reach after such short, so either way I'm happy for her that she managed to skate so well in the long, especially being not in good form:).
 
I m so happy and relieved at how Liza did! She really is a fighter! :gclap: Desperately hoping to see her in the GPF!

Elizaveta Tuktamysheva: "I'm glad that I did a triple axel, though flawed, for me it is a big step forward"

November 1, 2015

World champion Russian woman Elizaveta Tuktamysheva won silver at the Canadian Grand Prix. With seventh place after the short program skater managed to climb to the second element of the program is executed in the ultra-si - triple axel. After speaking in an interview with Tatiana Flade Russian has proved to be very sensible and wise.

"Very pleased with the fact that almost purely skated his program - admitted Lisa. - I'm glad that I did a triple axel, though flawed, but for me it is a big step forward. Generally, these events have given me a lot of help. I would even call it progress. I performed a triple axel at the very early training, which have not been made. In the free skate on the ice more easily, it was set up in a state of such peace. The excitement, of course, was present, but it will always be present in any start.

How did you tune into long program after the failure of the short program?

I am basically not a depressed person. Yes, the short program scored very low, and such a ridiculous mistake. But the day is over, we must go further. Each outing is gaining experience. Even yesterday was a bad skate, but it taught me a lot. You just have to be able to turn off and tune in to the next performance.


You will not regret it that a triple axel was not included in the short program?

That's not the point. In this state, Axel go ... But what happened, happened, and I'm glad that there was a good free program.

How did you choose the free program, now just celebrated Halloween?

Stephane Lambiel did the program for me. He suggested the music of "Peer Gynt". More precisely Lambiel offered a musical part of the program, together we found another, and I'm the third. It wanted to make it something with a symphony orchestra. And when I heard, I immediately said that it was the finale of my program.

At this difficult time you walk into the season?

Yes, it is difficult. It is difficult and long. Harder than last year. Maybe because of that yesterday I was not so confident. I hope that gradually come to myself, and such failures do not happen.

What is the reason that this season it is more difficult to start than the last?

Last season I was in very good shape. And remember those feelings. But after the holiday feeling was no longer the same, and I have a long time to find them. The same feeling, which came out at the European championships, world team tournament ... Then my body was in a very comfortable state. And this season I wanted it all back quickly. Just bring your body at the same condition. But it did not work fast and on the move. Well, every year you learn from experience, you realize that not everything will be good, that the reason for the lack of stability is not one thing, but a few circumstances ...

You are very correct and wise reasoning.

You know, all wrong. And yesterday that there were a few examples. Even Olympic champion Yuzuru and Chan could not make all in the program ... Any athlete can break. But these thoughts, and pressure should be a mute, mute and forgotten. Just go on the ice and do.

Tatiana Flade
