Anna Shcherbakova

So as expected.
With more and more girls training and landing trixels and quads those two 4Lz may be not enough anymore.
Who could believe just a year ago the two or even three quads in girl's FP may leave her with no medal?

More quads needed?
 
I've heard she is training the 4T again
If she could land it at the JGPF we'll be seeing an epic quad battle between her and Sasha

If she lands 4lz+3t, 4lz and 4t if she adds it at JGPF (and all her other jumps) she could well win it. Sasha’s base value is lower if Anna adds the 4T, so even if she too skates clean, Anna could beat her. I’m sooo nervous for Anna at JGPF[emoji51][emoji51]

Only if Sasha doesn't add back in her 4S or something. But regardless it would make them much closer.

It is the same phenomenon that happened with the challenge of running a marathon under 2 hours.
Nobody thought it was possible, but as soon as the first person did it, the others knew it was possible and in the same year 2 more people did it
Sasha made other skaters realize it was possible (even though extremely difficult)
 
I was really impressed with this performance by Anna. The first thing I noticed wasn't her jumps, but the exceptional rink coverage, all the way from corner to corner of the rink with relative ease indicating excellent skating skills. And as for her jumps, obviously the quad lutzes with magnificent height were impressive. I think she is graceful as well. Her spins and even step sequences were also quite nice. I feel that she also has genuine expression when she skates with the excellent skating skills serving as a solid base.

Kazan, Rostelecom 4th stage...

Trusova vs Shcherbakova vs Kostornaia = CIVIL WAR.

The winner will be the senior Russian National champion against Zagitova.
 
Bloodbath. Eyewitnesses share horrible stories about the ice flooded with red and padded toys ripped into pieces... :biggrin:
 
I thought I was entering the world of figure skating not the apocalypse! :shocked::laugh:

I must say Anna is so cute and small and then she skates and i'm like: :eeking: She is incredible! :luv17:
 
Wait, is Anna listed in the Junior segment at the Russian cup?
This means she will not be competing against Trusova And Kostornaia

Yes, exactly what specified at the official site:
https://www.fsrussia.ru/results/1819/4etap/index.htm. (use translator)

Shcherbakova is a little older than Trusova, yet skating for Juniors. Trusova is upgraded to Seniors.
Only Kostornaya, Trusova and Shcherbakova are of some name.

Interesting, the J and S competitions going to be run in parallel on two arenas.
J will be welcomed by the main and S on the 2nd arena (funny...)

Could it be deliberate to prevent in-sight bloodbath as many here expected? Overlutzing may lead to traumas.
 
Hmmm, that's a bit disappointing.. maybe there was not enough spot or something.. or they don't want Anna to compete against Trusova before JGPF, who knows..
