Jumps looked better too.

It definitely will stand out among the rest of the ladies :yahoo:
 
Still can't believe that some people thought that the SP didn't match her :drama:

Oh well...
Amazing job to Ade! Hoping for a good FS (aka no falls and/or at least 1-3 pops LOL) skate as well
 
I think this could be an iconic program if she skates it well and often. I hope she does some Senior Bs.
 
At least I'm excluding double jumps since I'm registering that as a work in progress :laugh:

gotta keep those expectations low anyway

Yeah my expectations are low. I was shocked she landed all her jumps today. Maybe I shouldn't be so greedy :laugh:
 
the jumps aren't there at all. :slink:
I wouldn't say that exactly. She did less jumps but it's not the splat-mania that people want her to do (and will likely belittle her no matter what).

Ade needs to just train more and work on stamina. She is losing some steam at the end. The ending spiral is great but she needs to work on her transitioning for the final spin. Let's hope she does a lot of Senior Bs along her touring so she can build and maintain confidence.
 
One more note: her jumps are looking good. They're not as low and scratchy like from past summer shows.
 
I think Adelina needs good words. (even if she is so strong)

so I want to save these Averbukh's words:

Averbukh: There is a transition period in [Medvedeva's] skating, which I hope we'll pass.

AS: What is that transition period about?

Averbukh: In the way she presents herself. Look at Adelina Sotnikova - she skates like a champion. I think at the moment among our girls she is the only one who has it. Evgenia still has to work on that.

Yes she didn't do any 3-3's but she didn't fall, she is still building her stamina as well. It's the test skates, not all the time they do their full difficulty. It's really to get evaluated on their programs.
 
I think Adelina can win medals in big competitions- she just need to focus 100%. Forget the haters and critics, just focus on competing, collect some medals and people will take you seriously. There are always up and downs, you lose you win and people Will always criticize you no matter what. So what? Just don't disappear. Work, show good performances and you will be rewarded:points:
 
I personally like her short program a lot. It might become my favorite for this season. Very unique and fits her so well. Her skating skill is probably the best of Russian girls currently. As I understand that she would skip GPs?
