Final Cup of Russia

Seems like she wanted to play it extra safe and avoid falls rather than really going for it, which is pretty disappointing to see. Both the double jumps in the combos seemed totally unnecessary to me, she at least could have tried, especially with the Salchow.

Music good, performing not very present and quite distant, but skating did look better than in the SP, and the StSq looked better but scoring was about the same for it so perhaps I'm just being overly positive.
 
I like this program a lot actually. The dramatic build up for the step sequence is really nice. It suits Aliona.

Those take more energy..
 
The program is nothing to write home about and she lost levels. Still somehow I wish she would be picked. Won't happen though.
