2018 Worlds Ladies FS

The last spin was so slow I wonder how they awarded that with a +GOE

Is russia gonna lose their 3 spots?

Don't think so. Sotskova and Zagitova can do it.

 

[xeyra]

Meltdown. multiple falls, pops, off balance during steps....the meltdown checklist is complete.

And lots of two footed landings.

 

[joanne129]

I completely dont understand why russia wasted a spot on her. So disappointing. Any girl staying at home is much better than her.

 

[EdgeCall]

Oh. Dear.

Stasia will have a hard time getting out of that career hole she has just jumped into.

 

[ivanja]

Surely she wants to wake up from a nightmare right now.

Pretty sure we won't see Stanslava on the Russian team after this...

If Maria holds it together and Zagitova skates how she did at the Olympics, then the 3 spots will be safe.

Is russia gonna lose their 3 spots?

Barring a huge Sotskova (or Zagitova) meltdown, both of which are unlikely (to the point where the 3rd spot is lost), highly doubt it

I know Polina was not in her best condition going by Russian Cup Final but she would never have done that. Fed made a huge mistake. Even just asking her to compete at the St Petersburg comp, then JW, then Worlds for a senior debut really is a bit much.

 

[schizoanalyst]

I wish she could've disproved the naysayers. Nobody deserves a skate like that.

 

[Xzander]

So sorry for Konstantinova. That was tough to watch. Probably her last Worlds...

 

[Danny T]

Oh god that was like watching a trainwreck dragging on ...

Poor girl, though her technique was to blame also.

 

[slider11]

Sadly, we'll never see her again on euro or world teams. That performance will kill her chances in her federation's eyes. They have so many other rock solid skaters.

Sadly, you are probably right.

 

[SpiffySpiders]

I'm not ready for more kiss and cry tears.

This crowd deserves so much credit for the love they keep giving the skaters who are struggling. Like with Alexa's sad face in pairs, some of this is just heartbreaking to see.

 

[shiroKJ]

And lots of two footed landings.

She went for extra credit

 

[Shayuki]

Sadly, we'll never see her again on euro or world teams. That performance will kill her chances in her federation's eyes. They have so many other rock solid skaters.

You'd imagine. But somehow, I doubt it.

Last season she scored 160 points at jr worlds and the fed's response was to increase her PCS by almost 10 points.

Granted, I guess 153 points is worse than 160...

 

[twirlingblades]

feel bad for her.

 

[LiamV426]

Doesn't Alina winning guarantee them 3 spots next year? A bit new to the ins and outs of figure skating rules.

 

[Ares]

If Konstantinova bombs, we got to send some poo to rusfed, or something like that.

No, you tempted fate Now haters will hate even more ... and I hate it as I like Stasya.

Some would like it very much but highly improbable unless Sostkova has the same kind of performance. Which I doubt. Only top two skater's placements count.
