2017-18 State of Russian Ladies skating

There are only three seniors atm.: Medvedeva with broken foot, Tsurskaya with bone disease in her knees and Zagitova who, according to some, is a puberty bomb waiting to explode.
Looks like Buyanova stands a chance. :think:

You make pertient points. But I dont think Alina will grow much more. Maybe an inch in height and maybe add 5 pounds to her body / booty. I cant see that modest growth throwing her game off.
 
Referee Ms. Margaret WORSFOLD
Technical Controller Mr. Paolo PIZZOCARI
Technical Specialist Mr. Sarkis TEWANIAN
Assistant Technical Specialist Mr. Shin AMANO

Zhenya's world record of total points is safe till next season. :biggrin:

Really? Hmm, what do you think Zagitova's going to get called for? Lutz UR, perhaps? The only other thing I can think of is step sequence level, perhaps... She should have no issues with the spin levels and her jump edges are alright.

I was thinking the salchow if she does it with a rippon -- it's still not perfect that way (little things with this girl :biggrin:)
or her toe if she does that with a rippon

however, the likelihood of her being called is very small compared to someone like Satoko

Salchow. Her Lutz has only been UR once and that's an anomaly.

Those videos are not drawing the lines for landing and take off correctly... I think Amano was the tech caller at junior worlds where Alina's -Lo combo was UR, can you can see it there clearly. It hasn't looked like that since.

Shin Amano was indeed the assistant tech specialist at JWC 2017 (both programs) but Alina got no calls there.

Oh it must have been at JGPF where she had the underrotated -Lo. Well either way, Amano didn't call her combo at JWC and now her combo is even better than it was then so she should be fine with that! It's the salchow that sometimes gives her UR issues, though they were correctly called each time, and not often.
 
Was shin amano the tech caller at this season’s Skate Canada??? Is that why the scores there were so strange?

I have a feeling that sotskova isn’t completely safe if this is true. She got a lot of calls at Skate Canada.
