2016 Russian Jr. Nationals Ladies FS

[Amer]

I thought Yushchenko was underscored.
Kurakova looks like Tara Lipinski a bit.

 

[sneakers]

Kurakova has problems with 3-3 combos
her jumps are a bit tiny and is prone to URs

she jumps and skates like Kanako Murakami

 

[Li'Kitsu]

Mulan!

That was really a nice program for her, and she has nice potential. She's also adorable (We'll get a lot of that today, I'm sure!)

 

[MsLiinaLii]

Well, Kurakova quilified last to Junior Nationals... This is the "worst" junior in this nationals.. Quite amazing anyway

she looks like a mini Baiul and skates like Kanako

Kurakova got dinged with many underrotations

 

[Sugarpova]

She's also adorable (We'll get a lot of that today, I'm sure!)

[Shayuki]

What's with this program ;S

And also, she started well but sadly ended with 2 falls, would have been very good otherwise.

well it started out well
then Tarankova falling twice

 

[tulosai]

I actually really enjoyed that despite the falls- she had great energy and presence on the ice. I really could not understand the music cuts or costume though

 

[tulosai]

Oh gosh I hate it when they cry...

 

[sneakers]

I think Tarankova got spooked by the first fall
then it all went downwhill from there (lost concentration)

- - - Updated - - -

she's crying
this kids

 

[Shayuki]

Sad to see her doing so poorly after doing so well before this competition. Couldn't handle the nerves? That's probably the worst thing, she knows she can do much better. Luckily for her she still has the next season before she needs to worry about JGP. And I still don't get her FS program, the old one was infinitely better.

 

[alskling]

Is there any dislike button? No? Pity.

 

[tulosai]

Random comment, but I really respect that this girl is not wearing makeup.

Why are all these Russian junior ladies wearing fugly half-covered tights?

that's a better skate from Mitrofanova than her botched SP
