2017-18 State of Russian Ladies skating

Why quad? Quads. There are at least two of them now. It wouldn't surprise me if we will see both of them and 3A to boot in her programs soon )) How much TES she would grab is somehow scary to imagine :shocked:
Quad... I doubt she would attempt two of them before even landing a single clean one, right? And even when she does, I'd expect her to perform 2 of her better quad rather than two different ones.

I expect her to eventually have both quads as well as a 3A but let's start with landing a clean quad in an international competition.
 
Dasha needs a rebranding really. She got the programs she has because probably this is what she expresses to her team right now :console::biggrin:
I really hope Dasha will focus primarily on skating, even though she's a teenager and she seems very interesting in discovering new aspects of the life. :biggrin:

I'm not sure.
I think of her team is trying not to give her little girls programs.
She needs good senior debut programs, but I hope that she stays with Eteri. She's been there since childhood and Eteri seems to be working well for her.

What’s crazy is she can do 3z-3lo so well that she won’t have Zayak issues to worry about if the 4t comes up short. I think this year would be sweet if she threw down both quads at JWC. She’s going to have another season on the GP anyway and getting silver this season and gold next year wouldn’t make a very big difference. Safe is death and she’d likely just lose one placement to a teammate and friend anyway. :dev2:

If she can do 3a, 4t, 4s, and 3z-3lo at the senior level we might need to reclassify her into the men’s divisions to keep this fair :laugh:

She still would run into zayak issues to some extent. That depends on what the rest of her layout is, but you really can't just inject a 3T into any layout. Still, if she wanted to perform 4S, 4T and 3A as solo jumps with no combos, something like this would be a possible layout:

4S, 4T, 3A
second half:
3Lz-3Lo, 3Lz-3T, 3F-1Lo-3S, 3F

For 2 quads and 8 triples.
 
Three combos in the second half after two quads and a 3a seems a bit evil......

Now...... If she can only do it in half boot tights :devil:
 
Actually, if Trusova actually is able to jump a layout like that(even sometimes), I don't think anyone could compete with her if she's somewhat clean, almost regardless of the PCS. I don't have faith that someone like Kihira will even outdo her significantly enough when it comes to PCS, so I guess then there's potentially... only Shcherbakova? It should get 160 or so points even with middling PCS.

Logically, wouldn't it be better to take a bit of a break there instead of trying to do the combos right after the quads and the 3A? Perhaps some creative 10s standing around choreo might be necessary but whatever it takes...
 
4S, 4T, 3A
second half:
3Lz-3Lo, 3Lz-3T, 3F-1Lo-3S, 3F

I swallowed a cookie whole and almost choked. Ok to be fair, she needs to start landing at least one of those quads in a competition but if she could .... goodness. Men's field indeed. If Anna recovers, she's probably the one who could come near her and we'll see how Kosto's wishes of a quad go, as I will bet she's the one that'll hold the higher PCS eventually.
What a crop of young ladies.

I just realized something!

4S, 4T, 3A

second half:
3Lz-3Lo, 3F-3Lo, 2A-3T-3T, 3S :yahoo:
 
Well, honestly, some men *already* need to be reclassified into ladies.
Yuna Kim would have finished 2nd in 2006 World Junior Championships if she were to compete with Men :biggrin:

And all that with lower PCS factor & 1 element less in FS!
total points

1. Takahiko Kozuka 180.05
2. Sergei Voronov 172.92
3. Yannick Ponsero 170.97
