2016 JGP Mordovia Ladies SP

[Sugarpova]

It's not just the pantomime... it's the whole style of the program, the music, mood, and even the costume + hairstyle look like they were copied from Evgenia.

Eteri might be a good coach for others, but IMO Polina would be better off with someone else.

another ++++++ not about change of coach tho but choreographer more

 

[puremagic]

Wow! Hanul! that was awesome!

 

[Totentanz]

If Polina herself decides that she needs a change, I think there would be tons of coaches to take her into team!

I don't think she is a copy of Evgenia, though. Polina was a skater lack of style last season. I mean artistically. She is growing up and I think she will find her own style.

It's normal that we are seeing the similarities because they are training in the same team.

++++++, I'm fine with Eteri as her coach, if she feels comfortable with her environment.
its more of trying out new choreographers.

 

[yyyskate]

wow, cute korean girl is exciting. and she also did some mime but while skating.

 

[Sugarpova]

lmao Biles comparisons in the chat :rofl2:

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Really didn't like the costume or the music.

But, my goodness, the skating more than made up for it!

Really regretting putting Ha-Nul in 7th position in my predictions. Because she is going to be Top 5 for sure after the SP.

She is still skinny though. it seems for girls, only when you put on bulk during puberty, you jumps will be affected.

Polina is not skinny, she is SLIM and this is a big difference ! Her body proportions are superb. She improved significantly since JGPF

 

[MsLiinaLii]

Yes, she should definitely leave the greatest coach of junior girls in the world, who manage to be consistent and break records regularly, because of one unoriginal program - which I thought was quite nice btw...and since when do all juniors do something completely original? The Japanese girls don't exactly have groundbreaking originality in their programs, as a comparison.

People are so eager to suggest changing coacher, but...
Eteri is able to develop the girls who are consistent, hit levels, hit difficult jumps, have mentality of a competitor and ...that is a rare combination!
Look at the girls who come to Eteri - they all transform into real contenders in a skating world.

If I were a skater or a parent, I would love to be in Eteri's team.

 

[Interspectator]

Yay for Hanul!

 

[sarama]

Polina has improved a ton on lines and skating skills, I love the music and she looked gorgeous with that dress.....BUT as many said that choreography was totally meaningless, a ton of posing and simply not as good as her talent

Not exactly groundbreaking originality =/= looking like a copy of someone else.

And true, Eteri really manages to get her girls consistent, which is a huge feat. But aside from that, there are other things were I think she is lacking... Polina needs choreo with less posing and more fire.

okay skinny maybe not a good word, i mean slim.

and she has long legs which now makes her jumps even bigger.

I thought she had style Imo her big jumps & powerful skating already are parts of the style thats opposite of the ice princess type that she's skating here

due to her long recovery time, they had not so much time to setup new programs. It was mentioned in her interview

 

[Li'Kitsu]

I think so too. Her power over the ice and in her movement were already great!

 

[Meoima]

Zagitova had 3L+3T in second half.

Zagitova's jumps don't look as amazing

 

[yyyskate]

why do so much stand still posing. because it uses time(more convenient to put jumps in second half) and save you energy.
