2017-18 State of Russian Ladies skating

Bravo, dearest Alexandra, Sasha, Sashenka! :peace:

I almost felt uncomfortable watching this - I need to get used to watching quads in ladies!
She was so tired in the end, it was exquisite physical effort, she was radiating power in the beginning and then I just prayed "please Sasha don't mess, don't mess...:hopelessness:" - I just could feel history in the making and didn't want any mistake to spoil it! It was wonderful but also scary. :laugh2:

I need to relax and rewatch many many times now! :yahoo::peace:
 
This is the only way you could end a spectacular season for Russian junior ladies!!
Can we skip ahead to next season already?

I’m curious to know if her technique is only viable for a very specific group of individuals.

Obviously Julia had issues post puberty and I believe Serafima was also her student, who has struggled.

Additionally, her male students don’t seem to excel in the same way her female pre-pubescent pupils do.

Obviously Evgenia has gone through puberty but she also seems to be struggling more with her jumps than in the past.

Is there a way for her to bridged that gap? I would hate to see Zagitova or the other promising juniors have to end their careers prematurely.

Julia had issues post puberty but in Sima's case it was money issue. Her family couldn't afford living in 2 cities and their flat in Moscow was robbed so she had to come back to St Petersburg which affected her development. Also she doesn't have many male students as she prefers working with girls and figure skating generally isn't popular among boys in Russia when we compare it to girls.

And Evgenia struggles with jumps because she is basically injured since October.
 
I mentioned this in Sasha's Fan fest but has Sergey Dudakov been ever happier than we saw him after her FS ? He must be really proud for what they achieved :clap:

I heard she said sth about loop and lutz (quads?!) just before leaving K&C! Girl is crazy! :laugh2:

If she wants another quad, I'd personally pick Lutz... Her Lutz is insane, by far her best jump out of Loop, it and Flip IMO. But it's possible she has something that I haven't seen in reserve for a Loop. Her Lutz has the same air time as her quads already, and she's not trying her hardest for it.
