Actually I'm fifty-fifty on costume and choreo, there are moments they loook quite interesting/elegant and others when she looks plain bad/weird. My question is: why is she doing the tanos, when her jumps bring so much problems (dangerous falls even!)??? :confused:

She finds it easier to jump that way.
 
Tanos aside why are they still back-loading her program and the last pass is a combo? I don't see the logic in this.

But the real question for me is why is she doing so many competitions when she's clearly not ready for them?? :hopelessness:

I agree. She surely needs resting instead of overcompeting

They've already pulled her out of Tallinn Trophy. The Russian Cup events are for senior nats qualification and she's doing CS events in an attempt to get her SB into the top 24. Although it looks like the latter is not going to happen.
 
I really like the first half of the program, and considering it's new, I thought she handled the slightly "weird" choreo very well. But the 2nd half when the music changes to Amelie doesn't work at all. Her axels are still very odd, but better than before!

Yes this, there's been a logic to everything she's been doing. I am not sure whether rest really will help or not, I think she honestly just needs time to adjust to the effects of puberty, but I think surely the best place to try to do that, even if it involves a lot of temporary suffering, is on the ice? You need to just get used to how it feels to do things now with your new body... jumping is totally different, but resting and not trying to jump isn't going to help you figure out how to do it successfully now.
 
Looking at her fskate record, the only competition she could have skipped was Panin Memorial but that's held at her training rink so it was more like a serious practice session than anything else. In total she's only done 4 full competitions, and only 3 of which required any traveling.

I found a cool angle last year of Sima's 3z Tano. It's interesting to see how the arm is used. I actually really like the landing position and exit on this jump.

Leg wrap. She does not achieve a tight body position in the air and the effects of which we are seeing now in her lutz and flip as her body is changing due to puberty.
 
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:

Yeah, I don't know why they decided to change it. :confused: I really enjoyed her old program, even if none of her performances of it were clean. I really hope she changes back.
 
Unfortunately I think that's one of her stronger outings so far this year... hoping against hope she can pull it together in the LP!
 
What's up with that RusFed VK statement about Sima being healthy and OK? :scratch2:

I think someone was impersonating her & possibly spreading false rumors, not sure if just on VK, or elsewhere. They said she has only one official account & others are fake, something like that. Someone must have way too much time on their hands.
