Well she should go to Cape Cod or Newport, RI. While she is in Toronto, a few trips to the east coast of USA would be nice.

Guys, I woke up right before Lilbet was about to skate (I thought it was already over) and I saw the results that Evgenia was in second! I really thought that Evgenia had gotten silver but I cried tears of JOY that she still medaled and was on the podium. We have been asking for a clean FP from her and wow she delivered.
And she did it while she was in pain. I hope this at least makes some of the criticism shut up. And when she was sitting next to Alina when the comp ended, she congratulated her so graciously.
I can’t believe she ended her rough season on SUCH a high note. Incredible. I love to see her confidence and happiness back.
Only thing I’m a little salty about is that silver could have been hers so easily. Her 3T in SP waa borderline and shouldn’t have been called if others’ weren’t. Also she was the only one in Top 11 for FP who got an UR called. (Next one to get called was Gabby at 12 who fell) I highly highly doubt this was the only UR. Well, they didn’t call anyone else’s flutz so I guess it’s fair they didn’t call hers.
I don’t think it was possible for her to win since Alina does have a much higher tech content realistically. And I guess I understand why Elizabet was placed above Zhenya overall because she made history and has a harder tech content (quad) well. I think even if Zhenya placed above her, it would have been justified (if a UR was not called or got more PCS since it was only like a point). And Elizabet missed a combo. BUT I think a lot of criticism would have come out if she placed above Elizabet with the quad overall.
So I really want to put this in the past and be happy!!!!! We get to see our queen on the world podium. She is one of the top contenders still after everything. She is a fighter and we KNEW she was gonna be back.

The only thing she could do (I think) is either 3Lz3Lo or 3F3Lo. Or she can go crazy and do a Flip-Lutz combination
We have beautiful lakes here in Canada and am happy to take her to the real zoo here if she likes!

Do you think they will train 4S over the off season?

Salchow is her best jump so it is possible. Also, she has improved so much in the 2A that I think they could be going for the 3A as it is more sustainable in time (and Orser is Mr. Triple Axel after all
)

guys!! i stayed up to an ungodly to watch the final group of ladies battle it out and i am just.....pleased, so pleased with the result. could not be happier for zhenya. no “‘maybe” this, or “what if” that.....just joy. remember after IDF and even nationals, i’m sure we all were sure that was the end of the season. and now we’re here. she has another world medal around her neck. this girl is so strong, so unbelievably tough. and her perseverance has paid off. my heart is soaring with joy for her.
now please, zhenya, on all of our behalf — REST!
ps. as much as i am not fond of memoirs of a geisha as a piece of media overall, there’s some really beautiful stuff on that soundtrack and i think it will suit her very well. i am excited to see what she chooses!!!

I bet she'll start working on a 4S this offseason. Doesn't mean she'll be able to add it into the programs already, though. Depends on how it goes.
Oh, and has the coachcam for the FP been posted here already?

Can you hear Brian shout in the background after she landed the combo?
Also: Both combos completely clean, no doubts! Truly amazing.
And you know what I‘m going to do in the off-season? Re-watch her programs this season, starting from the test skates. And witness that journey again. The season‘s been SO long and who would have guessed it would end like this when she first stepped onto the ice in her golden blades, forgetting half of the choreo in the FS of the test skates. Who would have thought after that GP season. After Nationals. She overcame herself. I‘m so excited to see what‘s ahead.

The German commentator said today that she'll definitely not learn a triple Axel. lol
I hope she will be able learn a 4S though in order to keep up with these youngsters.
as much as her axel has improved, i don’t think she gets enough height or speed for a 3A. but of course, zhenya always surprises me. so yes, zhenya, please prove me wrong!
i think a quad sal or maybe even quad loop is not out of reach, though, so long as she’s healthy. her edge jumps are divine.
that being said, unpopular opinion — i don’t think quads/3A are going to be as common as some expect next season. we know lots of girls are training them, but for the time being i don’t see them being done successfully by very many girls, especially after training them for such short periods of time. they’ll definitely be there, just not as prevalent as one might expect.

German comentators are the worst and not just in skating; I watch F1 regularly and they are just the worst... worse than spanish comentators and that's not to be taken lightly. Although Spanish FS comentators are these very nice ladies Paloma and Susana and I just miss them.

Tracy really seems to bring more calmness. As watching Brian during Zhenya's FS at Nationals I even got worried about him. He was soo nervous.

Agree with you on quads, apart from Anna, Sasha and Elizabet, I don't see anyone doing them next season, even Rika. Look at 3A, it's been like 25 or more years since ladies started doing it, and it is still a rare thing, done by only a handful of women. And actually now I believe that Zhenya will be able to fight at least for the third sport even without quad or 3A.
