Agreed about the GOEs. At the beginning of the season, I thought Alina was overscored in GOE too, because her landings often were tight or pitched forward and with little flow. But she got pretty high GOE already, which annoyed me tbh. But now she lands her jumps a lot better, and the +2's are definitely deserved. I even like some of her Rippons, even though I generally don't like it too much. She also held her positions a lot better actually than at the beginning of the season... the improvements are huge.

Social media commentary suggests that Radionova is the most beautiful and desirable woman in figure skating. It also suggests that she has a higher level of heterosexual males among her fanbase. So if you want talk about selection, remember evolution. Also, remember that this is Ladies Figure Skating or as others call it Zhenskoye odinochenoye kataniye.
No ill intent.
Zhenskoye odinochenoye kataniye. What does it mean?
People keep saying that Alina is a sure thing to make the Olympic team next season but she has a lot of growing to do in the next couple years and those jumps might disappear for all we know. That's why i think it should be 16 and up for Worlds and the Olympics. Let these girls prove they can still jumps when they aren't stick figures anymore and have some maturity.

I agree overall with everything other than PCS, Alina earned her gold, she was great in technical side and good performance-wise (shame on judges, not her fault).
Biggest props to Marin who had such a shaky season but put it all togerher here, as defending champion. No one in this competition felt more pressure than her and she's not the strongest competitior, I'm so proud of her. I hope she only will grow better and better and will have the best senior season that she can

LOL this line is sooo 2014.
Trust me all skaters and their team have been served with this "message" long time ago and yet all this time only Zagitova was successful in the cicuit to win with this formula aside from Zhenya. You know why, because others simply just CAN'T. Better play with your strengths and pray your team knows how to codewhore.

Inevitable 'talented Russian Junior girl will lose all her jumps and be a non factor' comment: check.
These protocols are a wonder of carrots, edge calls and !!!!
That's Amano for you, though he is only the asst here
Here. This is Kaitlyn. She's 13. She won nationals. This should make you feel better.

Alina won't grow until the Olympics, she'll stay exactly as she is now. She probably has to live on protein shakes for a year but she can eat all she wants afterwards. *sarcastic*

I would be nice to have a skater that can actually compete for medals after such a long time. Tanja Szewchenko is the last skater I remember who medalled. Over 20 years ago. Then maybe the sport would have some more exposure besides the pairs competition.
Disagree. Some skaters body change after 16, some change at the age of 13/14 (Look at Marin, her hips already stick out comparing to when she was 12). Some skaters body does not even change much despite puberty. 15 is alright. I am actually sad that many of these 15 years old deserve more to be on the senior field because their quality is better than many senior skaters out there, but their age kept them from doing so
