Russian Senior Test Skates 2021 - Free Skating

i wouldn't expect anything different from a 5 quads program honestly, but that's also its weakness

If you land them great ... if don't you will loose very bad ... and it's difficult to land so much everytime

If Trusova can manage get to Skate America and do this again, she'll bring the house down! Give her a US visa, NOW!

Guess I was wrong considering Kamila to be the favorite to win the Olympics...

Can someone do a summary of each skater?

Not that bad. Maybe if you fall on all 5 quads or don't fully rotate them you will perform poorly, but even if you fall on some of them it's not a big deal, as long as you don't let it affect the rest of your skate.

She has the visa

No you aren't because if kamila land her 3 quads and the 3A .. judges will prefer her to trusova .. the 2 extra quads won't make such a difference if kamila gets higher GOES + PCs

I see this as positive for Kamila. There's too much expectations on her

No point trying to predict the favorite even 1 hr before the olympics. For all we know, Maia could be the favorite after Rus Nats

The season just started.
Wait when Valieva will deliver a clean FP with 78 PCS.

my guess is this was kind of a show, they'll water it down her contents depending on the event

Sasha becoming a performance Queen! That is really good for a 5 quad program, and the SP performance was great too. Somehow the Plushenko move, Eteri return.....it's all working out for her. The dedication to work on her weaknesses and improve. Wow.

Generally you still don't build a rep overnight. You probably won't get from 60 PCS to 78 PCS in 1 or 2 competitions.


By the way, I actually liked the spiral-stuff by Trusova, I think she performed them well. She can be pretty precise and work on her issues even if she's not a natural, that's respectable.

Whatever happens, I defo want Sasha and Liza everywhere, especially at the Olympics!

Sasha, Liza, and Anna!

Not if you get a fast headstart like Alysa Liu starting on a 69 pcs in her first com .

Extremely brief summary:

Trusova delivered, the other ladies really did not

 

[yume]

Also, at what age Trusova was supposed to lose her quads? She's 17yo and still very has them.

 

[Azikin]

It was quite ridiculous but she's always been a "little" pushed.. not that it matters much in comparison with Russian girls...

But how did Shcherbakova not deliver?
