Nice skate by Sofia )

 

[NicolettaL]

why does Konstantinova get such huge scores ? she is never consistent and they have better skaters to choose from.

Cause she deserved it today. She was amazing.

 

[SnowWhite]

That was much better than at the JGPF I think. Very enjoyable

 

[Shayuki]

I do not like programmes where they leave all or most of the jumps to second part. It is not a balanced programme. Either I do not like tanos at all, even if I like the skater. I almost can see the calculator in Eteri´s and some other coaches eyes.

It can be a balanced program if its choreod well.

Why do you think consistency has anything to do with scores? Look at Kolyada.

What, specifically, is so bad about her actual skating, apart from her posture?

but she will never get 144 in an international event !

Sima time!

terrible posture and no musical connection... No thank you. Internationally she doesnt break 60 pcs.

 

[Procrastinator]

Again, with this BS. NO. NO IT CAN'T BE. You spend the first three minutes just anticipating the jumps and the stuff that happens in those first three minutes has comparatively less impact / becomes programmatically irrelevant.

Serafima is next. :luv17: Such a soft spot for this girl. :clapper:

So what?
You know you're talking about Russian Nationals, don't you?

 

[NicolettaL]

I don't think that Zagi's Don Quixote is unbalanced. She does 0-7 but it portrays the ballet so well and I'm not bored watching it.

 

[starla16]

low score for Samodurova , got an underrotation ?

 

[Crystal7]

That is one of the worst dresses I've ever seen! That black strip... I can't believe it...

 

[vorravorra]

She doesn't get high scores for being consistent, she gets them for being good. If she was consistent, she'd be at the top.

I think Konstantinova is the most overscored russian skater even more than Sotnikova,
crazy to think this girl has never proven herself internationally and hyped to the max.

 

[Sugarpova]

Sofa should be higher than Lena

Anyway Sima gets Best dressed award:curse:

 

[sabinfire]

Is this all new coaching? I've never seen Sima land jumps so reliably in years. Not perfect, but a huge improvement.

 

[EdgeCall]

Arrrgh Pop! Why??? She is sooo on!
