2016 Europeans Ladies Free Skate

[xibsuarz]

Tanos aside, the 3-jump combo is my least favorite of Evgenia's. I don't know why there's such a large wind-up for double jumps, like it takes more effort than 3-3... weird.

Like some of the younger guys who perform the quads more easily than the triples

Does Pogorilaya have bad jump technique or what? I've never seen anyone with falls like her.

 

[sneakers]

If falls were an element Pogorilaya would be multiple times world champion

-3 GOES everywhere

Oh Anna...

 

[Pamigena]

ouch :con3: for poor anna alone we'd need a massive plummet smilie. that looked like it really hurt

and again oh girl....

 

[NAOTMAA]

Anna seems to fall more nasty then any other skater. When she falls it feels like it hurts like hell :eeking:

 

[sneakers]

goodbye Anna Worlds

 

[Bumdid]

She'll still be third probably...

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Difference is that Lipnitskaya had practically no artistry, Medvedeva has a lot. But I agree, Medvedeva feels like she'll be hit strongly by puberty next season, as is customary for Tutberidze. Still, she does have some qualities that make me feel like she perhaps could survive better.

A lot of credit has to be given to Radionova as she's doing so well during a growth spurt. After she gets this under control and gets her jumps stable she should finally be a winner.

Thank god we have people to tell us what good artistry is. It's really unfortunately when it's left to a personal interpretation.

good fighting until the end and the audience cheering... how can she fall so badly and still skate well after?

 

[Watermelondrea]

Good for Anna, fought it out but identical to COC. This will be enough for bronze but I don't believe she will make the world team

 

[Layback11]

I can see the wet spots on Anna's tights where the ice melted after she fell. That's a big indicator of a bad fall.

I doubt Mae will be able to get in for the bronze because she did both of her big combinations well, but I'm positive that wasn't the performance she wanted.

 

[Shayuki]

She's going to get replaced if someone skates well at Russian cup, yikes

I can see this, sadly. She hasn't had a single decent competition outside of Russia.

 

[badknees]

I love Anna. I wish she would stop falling. What a clean Anna could do!

 

[gravy]

Gorgeous elements. Spectacular wipeout. Gorgeous elements. This is so Anna.

I wonder if she'll be booted off the World team.

 

[tulosai]

:gaah: Poor Anna

 

[Trewyn]

Ouch those TES! It would be so sad for her if she does't get to go to worlds, she earned it at Russian Nats.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

There I was thinking "Yes! My little firecracker is on fire today again!!! "

And then she crashed and burned.

And then, once she looked like she was getting back on track, she crashed and burned again.

Back to the Anna we are used to seeing this season. :disapp:

There's my predictions going up in smoke...

Those are jarring crashing falls. Such a beautiful skater, but man oh man that must hurt.

 

[nolangoh]

Well, she is getting bronze anyways
