I REALLY hope that Alena debuts as a senior with her SP. It is a masterpiece. Definitely replace R/J. But this SP should be seen in seniors for one more season. She's ethereal. Just an amazing connection of a skater with the choreography and the music. (Which is weird because on first viewing earlier this season, I just wasn't 'getting' it. Now I do!)

Interesting, because I thought the same, except that it should rather be her last season’s SP (Adios Nonino). The precise musical connection demonstrated in that program was underrated, and I think skating it in seniors would give that program the credit it deserves.

I hope for 2 new programs next year but would love to see her visit both adios noninos and departure/November in a few years. Imagine how amazing these programs would be at age 18
 
We all agree her SP were amazing! I'm hoping she keeps the angel wings.

She makes her FP work but Romeo and Juliet is not for me.
 
She probably keeps her vampire ex for her senior debut so we can see if she will have a program we like next season soooon ^^

I think maybe alena will be one of the few that will get better scores internationally than at home ... because in russia TES = PCS ... internationally that isn't the case ... with their consistency and the way she skates + 5 will be in her way ... like a jason in men's skating... trusova even with quads won't get this kind of PCs

And I think it's smart from her ... with her PCs... if she can get the jump perfect 100 % of the time why loose PCS in trying ... but with her jumps .. I think it's a matter of time the 3A or 4

Great observations..Thank you!! Over time, TES leaves but PCS stays forever. ..
 
Trusova is a new Bonaly. She will never receive good points to win a Major, especially PCS.

Kostornaya is more lucky, her programs more balanced and she doesn't jump over the head.

Erm... this is not true at all. Where have you been when Trusova sweeped the junior ranks last year, being pretty much on par with Alena in the PCS scores (there was a difference of 1-3 points at max between them when reality was different)? Where have you been when Trusova won Junior Nationals this year despite having a mistake in the short and Alena being 100% clean in both programs? Really, I like Sasha but she is in no way underscored on PCS. And she has won plenty already and will continue to do so in the future.

Alena is indeed more balanced, more refined and mature. But she isn‘t as much of a technical powerhouse like Sasha, so at the moment, her only chance to win is if the others make mistakes. If Sasha lands her quads at Junior Worlds, Alena has no chance against her, no matter how clean or refined or balanced she is. So, yeah... I would say the only thing holding Sasha back from winning could be herself. Not the judges. But she has to be aware that if she makes mistakes, strong skaters are behind her and can overtake her. But that‘s normal.
 
What do you all think is the chance of Alena attempting 3A at Jr Worlds? I thought the new Pianos were a good sign that she’s at least training it but then I realised we don’t actually know for sure that she’s changed boots, she could have just been posing with them for some reason (I can’t tell what boots she’s wearing in the video of her new ex).

Of course, the most important thing is that Alena is healthy and I don’t want her to attempt it if she’s not ready, but I can’t help but think that if she were able to land a 3A in both programs, she would possibly beat a clean Sasha/Anna and wouldn’t have to rely on others making mistakes.

I hope she’s had enough time to break them in. That thick padding she had on her ankle during jr nats was scary and I’m sure wasn’t 100% comfortable. I don’t think she will go for the 3A but of course would be so excited if she decided to. I can’t believe JWC starts tomorrow I wonder when they will be flying there. The ladies SP isn’t until Friday!
 
I think there's like 1% chance but never say never.. ;) It's not easy to be so perfect and still loose because someone else is just an insane jumper. We'll see, excitement sure starts to build up! :luv17::cheer:
 
I am sad I was looking forward to seeing her programs and possibly win :( now i just hope she is healthy and nothing serious happened
