2017 Jr Worlds Ladies FS

I feel the sp urs really got to Polinas' head here today. She was so focused on clean jumps that she lost the program and ended up doubling and popping as well. Her jumps just aren't as big as even a short time ago.

Ehhh... no. I really doubt that's the problem. But she has very little pre-rotation plus delayed rotation, if she loses even a bit of snap, her jumps get borderline.

And I'm also worried she might still be injured. Hopefully not and she was just off... and I'll also stick to my former concern that I'd like to see her with a coach who specializes more in jumping technique. She is so tall, I think that should be her first priority right now.
 
Oh. Two big falls early on in the programme. :eek:

Viveca's reaction after the second one was priceless. She just sat there for a moment with a face that said "What on Earth happened there?!"

Then she got up and carried on.

Oh yeah, she doubled flip :shocked: I still think it was good skate, I don't care much whatever she is Russian or not.
I think she also singled an axel (but could have been my feed). Not up to her standard at all. I actually don't think that she got many carrots.
 
That second fall.... I missed it before and saw it now on replay. :eeking:
 
It must be mentally challenging to return to an event where you were seriously and unexpectedly injured last year. Polina probably did the exact same exercises that caused her injury last year and just had to trust that it wouldn't happen again. It's hard.
 
Polina's FS reminded me of Nic Nadeau.

Go get 'em next season Polina.
 
I think she also singled an axel (but could have been my feed). Not up to her standard at all. I actually don't think that she got many carrots.

She did, her jumps are still so good, how? :drama: I think no matter what, she will learn from that. I hope her team will support her, she can have amazing senior season.
 
That is on brave girl! Those two falls were extremely harsh and would have winded her big time. Her eyes werent even focused when she got up from the axel fall
 
I know. But actually it didn't seem to be a big problem for her in the past. I hope she will come back but as I said it is really difficult in Russia.

But I think she actually grew up a little bit, plus the injuries, plus losing the confidence after receiving the carrots... actually, she doesn't seem the fierce competitor type.:shocked:
