2016 JGP Mordovia Ladies SP

[CaroLiza_fan]

Uzbek girl Shokhsanam TOKHIROVA took me by surprise there. She was pretty good.

You know, a few years ago, we didn't hear of many skaters from Uzbekistan. But, then Misha Ge came along and changed all that. And the ones that are starting to come through now are looking good.

Same with Turkey. Alper Uçar was the trailblazer, and now there are a lot of promising youngsters coming through.

I hope that we can see that repeated in many other countries!

is polina T age eligible for 2018 OG

Yes, she is. Born 11 July 2001.
And we see both Eteri and Dudakov with Tsurskaya, while (even at competitions in Moscow) other girls are only with Gleigengaus.
Probably demonstration of status of Polina in Eteri's group (extremely high status, same as Medvedeva), for qualification to Olympics next season.

 

[silverfoxes]

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

This is a good point, she wasn't even ready for the test skates in August. People really need to adjust their expectations. And honestly, I thought she sold the program well. It didn't look like it didn't suit her...moreso I think it shows that she has some real artistic range and doesn't need to always do the same kind of thing. Whether people like it or not will come down to taste, like anything else. I don't like a lot of programs that get raves here.

to remind current Eteri girls team:
Med, Polina, Zagitova
Panenkova, Mitrofanova, Shcherbakova
not bad at all, I think

that is exciting, and IIRC, Marin is also age eligible for 2018 OG
I get super excited.
PolinaT is my fav girl from Team Eteri, although this SP is disappointing choreo wise. but it is understandable, since she just recovered from injury.

Yes, Marin too. All skaters who papticipated in JGP-2015, are eligible for Olympics-2018.

I dont think this is demonstration. Because Mishin here too. (not Tataurov or T. Mishina) Just local event without bureaucratic like visa etc.

Panenkova and Mitrofanova aren't that high level.
but still not bad, Eteri still has 4 star pupils: Medevea, Polina, Zagitova, Scherbakova

 

[Sugarpova]

I cant be really against Eteri
She knows how to work points & Zhenya's is amazing even if she's more or less skating in the same style
The only gal I actively dislike is Zagitova

Give her a chance. She already improved a lot since last year.

Are you kidding? This cute girl has no chance.

Zagitova is very pretty though, she reminds me of an actress I forgot the name... :scratch3:

Final Group just started their warm-up.

I'm going to have to leave in a couple of minutes, but I'll pause it and play catch up.

The first girl, Yelena DZOZ, is the other girl I wasn't able to find out anything about when doing my research. So, it'll be interesting to see what she is like.

And I'm looking forward to seeing how Pauline Wanner gets on, after Joanna Kallela (who was 2 places below her on the absolute PB list) did so well.

But, most of all, I'm really looking forward to finally seeing Liza Nugumanova in competition!

ALL THE BEST LIZA!!!

anti Duhamel?

 

[MsLiinaLii]

I wish Nugumanova debuted in a season where loop wouldn't be an obligatory solo jump...

please take some time and find out. I beg you. puppy eyes.
