blured my watermark and set their own thing ...

That's super annoying! :dev2:
The caption above says something like "this dance can melt the ice." What would they say if they saw the Beyonce one? :eek: :laugh:

Here are some more photos from "Music on the Ice"

Lena has the best expressions :biggrin:

Sotskova finished fourth in Europeans with two falls in the free skate.

Wonder if that means they'll consider sending Lena to Worlds? Don't think Sotskova would be terrible, but they have to be thinking about 2013 when they only ended up with two Olympic spots for Sochi.

I think it depends how Elena will skate at Universiade. But she get a chance it's no doubt.

I was thinking about this too. Personally, I would prefer to see Lena stay home and take the time to work on her jumps, polish, and get really good programs for the Olympic year, but then again, I worry if Sotskova doesn't do well at Worlds, then only 2 Oly spots which means even less likely Elena would get to go...

That is just one point. The other is Pogo. It was pure luck, that she didnt fell into her old form. Nearly everything on her skating was unsure and I had the feeling she was just saving it to the end. Absolutly not convincing.

possible. because Maria herself is not sure that will go to the World Championship.
from an interview [google tranlate]
"Q. World Championships ahead. I think you will take part in it.
Sotskova: I hope so too.
Q. one more chance to show themselves?
Sotskova: Yes. If I had the the chance, I try not to miss it, clean skate both programs and show their maximum level. But if not, need to take it for granted, too, We will then work on the next season. But first, I hope, will be able to compete in Helsinki"

I'm fairly confident in Zhenya and Anna being able to get placements adding up to 13 or less. Anna can be as low as 12th if Zhenya wins, so yes anything can happen on the ice, but to me it's pretty much guaranteed they'll have the 3 spots. No comment on who they should send, but let's say it's Masha. Even if the two Canadian girls, three Japanese and three Americans all finished ahead of her, that would have her 12th, which would be good enough with Zhenya winning. And that scenario still has another Russian above her, meaning her score wouldn't even be counted. And let's say Zhenya didn't win, but came second instead. It's pretty hard to imagine that one of the other two wouldn't be able to manage top 11. Again not saying who should get the third spot, but I am seriously not worried about keeping three spots.
 
Anyone know when Lena's first competition at Universiade is? Also where online can I see Starting Orders/Results?
 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VEQ6ywepeY - the 2.5 hour long Winter Universiade opening ceremony! :clapper:

Lenok is obviously spotted by the ever friendly camera. Beautiful women can do that to media equipment! :laugh: :biggrin:

Watch closely at 58:16-58:17 HERE

And also at 58:28-58:32 HERE

Basically, watch from 58:15-58:32. Elena is wearing the black hat with a golden logo at the front, you won't miss her. :)
 
Here you can see the shots of Lena from the opening ceremony that Tyranid pointed out and the video from her Instagram story:

Yes, well done! :yes: It looks like she's practicing her SP...? If so, I guess she's doing 3F instead of 3Lo... I hope that means she's trying to increase the base value of her SP (and not that she's having problems with her 3Lo). :agree:

GOO LENA!! :cheer:
 

I'm bummed I missed Liza's IG broadcast with Lena... Such cute pics! :luv17:

Here are the original photos of Lena in training:

Man, those eyelashes... :drama:

Here are a few pics of Lena with volunteers:

And Inna with the same volunteer:

I'm glad Inna Goncharenko is there with her. I was a little worried about how the timing would work out since Max was at Euros.

Can someone please translate what the volunteer said about meeting Lena? :bow: The GoogleTranslate translation didn't make sense...
Спасибо Анаре Аскаровой ,успела поговорить с Леночкой,спросила как им город?
Анара Аскарова сегодня в 19:39
Лена говорит,еще не успела посмотреть,вот после соревнований собирается посмотреть...
Но говорит,что уютно,удобно,что мы молодцы и постарались
Потом, пока провожала ее до конференц зала....подошел другой парень волонтер,говорит,что как будто не фигуристки,а мисс мира собираются, и Лена посмеялась и говорит :"Да,мы фигуристки такие,все красивые"😊
Something about it not looking like a figure skating competition but more like a Miss World competition..? :biggrin:

Well, I won't be awake when Lena skates. She has a pretty good starting order (finally!), so hopefully she can skate clean and get a new personal best. :agree: GOOO LENA!!! :hap10: :hap10:
 
I was wondering what Inna G was going to do too. She is going to be one tired lady, but glad she worked out a way to be there.
