Personally, I thought that the 4F edge might have teetered to a full outside, and I thought the PCS were a bit too high. But for the calls, the judges tend to not spot those by themselves, as they leave it to the TP (I disagree with the judges not doing the minimum there, but as it were...). We don't know the level calls on the steps and spins either, and the judge only scored her GOE there. So, the score should change internationally - but I think if she escapes all calls, then it might become a bit of reality soon enough.

On her summer training videos it looked more flat/inside, but in Test skate videos it was looking more outside again. I think prior to worlds it was the same thing: it looked flat/inside during Mishin show, but at worlds she couldn’t hold it there anymore. I wonder if it’s due to nerves at this point, since it looks like she’s capable of going back to a proper edge on her flip.
I think there was some ~discourse~ on twitter that her 3F edge is fine, so nerves specifically for a more difficult jump maybe? And it would take more focus than a 3F, so she might let it slip even though she knows the "right" way to do it. I need to see the recent 3Fs for myself, but yes, that's entirely possible.

Bolero sounds so different when it’s live orchestra. It doesn’t sound repetitive, it‘s … idk.. really draws you in from the first moments. I think because on ice we’re listening to the video recording of the audio recording of real Bolero it ruins the nuances of the music.

Generally both flips look better in terms of edge compared to last season. Having better edge on 3F for her probably is also more important than doing so on 4F. She needs to keep the deficit from SP as minimal as it can be. Quad flip even with an ! call will still bring her a ton of points.
I think it can tend to have that effect, as live orchestra and recording are different media. Especially if you were watching the orchestra play. It's like most people I can think of, hated Milva's singing of Loco, and I disliked her voice, but a video of her singing for me is actually good, because it became an entire performance.

When it comes to PCS in a 5 quad program it can either go very well or very bad. I imagine as a judge, when you’re witnessing something so rare and extraordinary, a clean 5 quad program, the audience is roaring and it happens on a big stage, just out of pure excitement, you’ll give high PCS.
However, if you fall multiple times and have been falling all season long - the PCS will likely be quite low.

I think Sasha looks rather relax this season. She looks like a different skater mentally.
I really hope the test skate will give her more confidence.

Just rewatched KV's bolero from Russian nationals. When skated clean the programme is watchable, but when there's a lot of falls from quads it gets very messy especially when she is off-beat.
I hope Valieva can bring a clean programme soon. I think they should take the 4S out. her 3A seems to be getting more consistent, if she can do 2 3As and 2 4Ts. Plus polishing the programme and working on getting it clean. I think sounds more reasonable. Too many ultra-c elements makes the programme look very messy as she's so focused on the jumps.

The snake has some suggestive moves. At least in last year choreo. And a snake is usually a symbol of seduction. So i think that their idea isn't that far from most of interpretations.
But if indeed they take another route that's good
If Cizeron was choreographing for singles i would send her to him.

Just rewatched Anna's FS and I really have to say: absolutely fantastic lines, beautiful rich movements which are finished fully from the torso all the way through to the fingertips (they're doing well putting those dark gloves on her hands to accentuate them), great posture and facial expressions. She truly looks amazing in her basic movements at this stage of her development.
I remember the flailing little 15yo girl with four toothpicks for limbs. She has come into her own beautifully and it's clear how much work she has put into every aspect of her skating over these past years. To me she is the most pleasing to watch at this point.

She should go for 3 quads and 2 3As in FS once she’s ready. I think she’s capable of that.

History would be made if this was a competition, not something hardly more than a public training. Trusova is probably able to skate like this in training regularly. Competition is something completely different.
