2018-19 Russian Ladies' figure skating

[leoleo]

I'm always impressed by Sasha's words when i read her interviews. she's such a tough cookie at her age already.

I'm also very excited for Tukta's comeback. I love it when older ladies make a successful comeback :agree:

... I actually like the helicopter tano... I'll see myself out now

IMHO, it's hugely underestimated. Helicopters are graceful.

WOOOW! Tuktamysheva is back!!
Maybe this season We´ll see this powerful jump and the flawless triple axel.

seriously? :eeking: wow i'm surprised. I find that helicoptanos make the program look less graceful but i guess it's really different for everybody

Tbh, I prefer a helicopter tano to a flailing one...

Like I prefer Masha’s tano to Sofia’s

Unless a helicopter tano is a flailing tano... because in that case than I hate helicopter tanos

You’re all debating tanos and here I am, thinking, “Huh. And I thought it was just her ponytail.”

i almost choked on my tea

My favorite tano's are probably Alina's, Sofia's, and Evgenia's. But I also like Maria's and Liza's.

I wonder if Polina Tsurskaya will start doing tanos. Her jumps are already beautiful without them though. Same with Radionova, except her jumps look iffy. (No offense Elena!)

^^ Is there a point in doing tanos now they are not required as a bullet GOE?

Excellent air position. It’s worth positive GOE. Maybe now more than ever :hap85:

I wish I could be as optimistic about everything as Sam-Skwantch

It’s ok, I prefer the rippon but any tano better than konstantinova’s is fine in my book

 

[Lipea]

I think she did tanos simply to make it harder for herself during the training. Tuk was not known for tanos at all, aside from adding it to 2A after Medvedeva's first season.

I hope not, I love Tusrkaya’s jumps and I liked Maria’s a lot better without the Tanos, it just depends on the skater

Konstantinova's tano is the worst....

Liza, we are waiting for eat that moments. It's post-Olympics season after all.

 

[Spirals for Miles]

I wonder how she'll do, considering post-Olympic season is her best, but the field is much stronger compared to four years ago

She can return as a top tier skater if she has both 3A and 3Lz3T in her program. I don't know how possible that is. We will wait and see. I hope Liza suprises us in a pleasant way.

 

[Spirals for Miles]

I hope so too. I also hope we're pleasantly surprised by Polina and Daria
