2018-19 Russian Ladies' figure skating

[yoloaxel]

She rotates more than Vincent Zhou ever did in his career

Guys...it’s just a practice quad Lutz. No replay or deductions are necessary. That fact that she is landing it is the key to building Toward the perfect one.

To start with, she rotates it more than many men rotate their ratified quads.
And honestly even an URd 4Lz is worth a lot more than a regular Lz.

Well, while that's true... This would not replace a 3Lutz. It could replace a 2A, for instance. In which case it's a huge increase in points even UR. You know how big a deal is being made out of Zagitova's 4 point BV advantage over most other skaters? That's already far more than that.

Quad lutz? Wow. What the heck must Evgenia Medvedeva and Alina Zagitova be thinking of this baby girl and what she's doing? Will Eteri turn her lose at natinals or hold her back?

That would be interesting to see

Youtube just suggested this video of Ana Pogo to me. Is it a recent interview? Can anyone translate what she was saying?

Oh, yeah. Without having watched that twitter video - Isn't this the same person who made that GIF on Trusova Russia Cup quad which also was thoroughly misleading? That landing frame on that GIF is airborne and the GIF is like 5 FPS. I didn't even watch it before but that's horrendous. Here's an actual slow-mo with the actual landing frame:

I appreciate how this video speeds up at just the right moment to try and hide what it is clearly, and obviously, a severe UR. Her skate touches down well over 90 degrees early. (EDIT: actually, just very obvious, but probably only 20-30 degrees or so past the quarter mark, which isn’t really “severe.”)

But still, it’s not a downgrade, and she was able to get decent flow out of it regardless. Her quad sal and quad toe both looked very similar once, and we’ve seen how those turned out. I’d say this is very promising indeed.

Eteri: Get ready, we have even more "weapons" (when talking about 3A and quads)

 

[zounger]

it's funny also Alina's surprising look on Eteri https://youtu.be/QHrYHfzWgJc?t=3268 when she talks about the next Olympic programs that she already foresees.

This... is still a (slight) UR. Her skate hits the ice shortly before the quarter turn and when it’s actually at the 90 degree mark, the front of her skate is flatter on the ice with her weight on it while she’s still rotating, hence the trouble checking and slightly shaky landing. But like I said above, rather less severe than how it looked in real time, and it’s at quite a good point for her to be landing it on the JGP next season, judging by her quad toe progress this season.

By the way, Trusova would be the 4th in TES at Worlds senior men's FS, outscoring both Kolyada and Aliev

I would love to see a 'battle of the sexes' where Trusova, Zagitova, Kostornaya and Medvedeva challenge the men and are judged with men's PCS

senior men's FS have one more jump and ChSq1

 

[russianfan]

okay, so she would be second, losing only to Chen with his 6 quads

Is Daria Panenkova going to turn senior?

looks like it.
She is in the top24 SB list. She should get 2 spot for GP.

She can easily become Russian #3 lady (till Trusova and Kostornaya arrival)

Is there a link for the list of the ladies with the top 24 SB ??

So, if you’re a part of the top 24 SB, the following season you’re guaranteed 2 Grand Prix spots?

officially Top 24 SB list guarantees only one spot.
BUT the reality ..... if she's in the SB 24, she's going to get two. I don't think I can think of a time when an SB 24 skater didn't get two.
