She clearly has some issues that have to be solved now (and her far-from-ideal landing technique does not help her), but if she regains her jumps her skating will be to die for!

Her wobbly landings always scare me. :hopelessness:
 
The scores in the senior ladies event are very low, Sima shouldn't have a problem finishing top 3 here or top 5 at the last event so qualification for senior nationals probably won't be an issue.

Edit:
Well, she finished third. The TES for her FS: 48.88.

Sorry, I want the old program back. This is weird. What's up with the phone ringing?!? Lol.
 
I'm not sure what the story is in this program. I love Ennio M. but that was some weird choreo.
Yup, very weird. In some poses she looks like she is pointing a "gun" to her head, which completely creeps me out. The program left me feeling uncomfortable.

Yeah, that beginning pose with that weird hair/arm choreo, I mean what is this about? Lol then I guess she was contemplating something the second time she held the gun to her head but then the phone rang :rofl: And her dress looks so familiar it was distracting me. Looks like Maria Artemieva's dress.

Did a Google search and yes! It IS Artemieva's dress. http://photography.ice-dance.com/20.../11RusNats-LadiesFS-JK_2161_Artemieva.jpg.php

Oh my. I'm lost for words. With the original LP at least we understood what the program was about, this one is just plain weird. And not in a good way.

Edit:
Between the choreo and the dress, the program reminds me of a mental patient. Sorry. but that's the impression it gives me.

I agree. :noshake: I'm sorry, I love Sima, but that is dreadful and I don't like her new costume either :( Hopefully she'll change it back... I liked the old program, and I think there wasn't really any problem with it- unfortunately the problem right now is with her jumps, plain and simple.

Regarding qualification for Nationals,is it possible she is not trying to qualify for Senior Nationals but only Junior? She isn't on the senior list at all that I can see, and she'd definitely be higher than some people who are there I think? https://translate.google.com/transl...te.ru/info/rusnat/2016/sel_ladies/&edit-text=

Yes this is it exactly! I couldn't quite figure it out until I read this but unfortunately that is exactly what it seems to represent. Hopefully they will go back to the old one!:scratch2:

Senior nats list hasn't been updated to include this competition's results. The 4th column is for this competition. Sima is not on the list because this competition is her first. She finished third here so she receives 14 points.

She doesn't need to qualify for junior nats because she was given JGPs, that's automatic qualification for junior nats.

Oh I see! Thank you!:thumbsup:

According to Sima via askfm, her program is about a person on the verge of despair. So we weren't far off at all.
 
The old program was definitely better for Sima, but this one reminds me so much of a Konstantin Menshov program. I would probably like it if he skated it. :slink:
 
I like the new program a bit better than the old. I think it's great!

I could do without the awful landings in both of them, though.
 
If she doesn´t like her old programs please give it to Liza. What´s wrong with this girls???? :whack:
