2018-19 Russian Ladies' figure skating

Did you see panenkova at cup of russia? I don't know what happend in the last month but she seems completely out of form. So tsareva is not good choice either
did you see her at test skate? she went clean in her FS, she did make mistake in SP. i think she might have a bad day? we have seen she is capable of what she usually does last season, perform clean. It's different with Sotkosva/Tsurskaya who have yet to perform clean. Tsurskaya did land nice 3Lz-3T in test skate but in CS she got many < and << and pop a lot.
 
But Daria was more than 20 points behind Polina after the LP.
Really don't know what happened to her after the test skate

It would be considered harrasment. I'm four times older.

Nop, speculations only. Slo-mo of Kaunas FP clearly shows how she crash landed on her elbow. Left elbow it was. And the right palm.

But it could not be a too much of a problem. Otherwise no gymnastics.
She can easily win without a quad, so I wouldn‘t risk it. Trauma might prevent her from entering more important events like the JGPF or RusNats. Definitely not worth it to risk your health for such a minor event. Especially not for Sasha.

But... somethin interests me... you know that personally? Where from? You know Sasha personally?

yes I saw it and that is why I am so shocked. she is totally out of form and slow as if she is another skater. maybe she is injujred
 
But on her left shoulder no bandage or something like that. Is it some asymmetrical t-short?

I think it is just an asymmetrically patterned t-shirt with some white stripes on the right sleeve. It wouldn't make sense to have a shoulder wrapped the way that the pattern looks on her sleeve, especially over the shirt.
 
is there any reason why Eteri skaters do 2T-2T combo except Alina and Anna S? its not much point lost but still i just find it weird, they do -3Lo combo so -2Lo should be easy

Well, lets see her current students and folks that recently left, and what 3 jumps combos they do.

Zagitova does it, a 3F+2T+2Lo
Tursynbaeva does a 2A+2T+2T, butshe was not doing a +2Lo under Orser either. I suppose that that is what she currently can do, simply put.
Trusova does not need a +2Lo, as her current layout has a 4T+3T, 3Lz+3Lo and 3Lz+1Eu+3S ^^
Kostornaya does 3Lz+2T+2T
Shcherbakova does 3F+2T+2Lo
Zhenya did 2A+2T+2T
Tsurskaya did 2A+3T+2T
Tarakanova did 3Lz+1Lo+3S
Panenkova did 3F+1Lo+2S

Lets see, out of the ladies who do a -2T, what other combos they have in their programs?
Tursynbaeva does not do a -3Lo combo. Her other 2 combos are 3S+3T.
Kostornaya does not do a -3Lo combo. Her other 2 combos are 3F+3T and 3S+3T.
Zhenya also didnt do a -3Lo combo under Eteri. Her other 2 combos were 3F+3T and 3S+3T.
Tsurskaya also didnt do a -3Lo combo. Her other 2 combos were 3Lz+3T and 3S+2T.

I think there is some correlation here, right? My guess is that some Eteri skaters do 2T-2T because their -3Lo or -2Lo combos are not stable enough to be included in programs, so it is not worth it, as a consistent -2T with high GOE is worth more than a -2Lo with UR and low GOE.

My guess is that they determined that the GOE would be higher for their -2T combinations outweighing the small BV advantage of a -2Lo combination. It can sometimes be hard to get a good flow out of a 2Lo combination since it has a tendency to go striaght up and down instead of in an arc especcialy if the speed in is poor (as it tends to be at the end of a 3jump combination). Whereas you can increase the speed with a 2T giving it better flow out of the combination

I tend to agree with this. For example, Alina has a relatively good flow out of last 2Lo, this is more evident when the camera angle is vertical to her combination jump trajectory. Sometimes it feels not done with ease but almost always she manages to make a smooth gliding exit out of it. Probably the other girls don't have such a good flow out of loops.
 
Everytime i see these videos i think she could have been successful in ice dance or in the future as a choreographer. Still hoping she can find her way, she's soo talented, she kept all her spins and she has better skating skills and more musicality than most of the other ladies.

There is a thread in the Edge about Evgenia's interview. Might have gotten deleted just now, actually, so I wanted to pose the question here.



Who won that event?

On another note, Hersh agrees with those of you who believe that the 3A will move to seniors next year. :)

Valieva won, Usacheva was second

SP
Valieva 75.81
Usacheva 70.80

FS
Usacheva 134.92
Valieva 132.63
 
Also nah, the interview thread is likely just closed by mods, so they can delete messages and also give warnings and infractions to whoever didn't like the interview.
It will be back soon.

Next year is going to be so great, even better than this year, 3A in seniors and Valieva/Usacheva rivalry in juniors :luv17:
