I'm cross-posting from another thread, but I am too thrilled with Sasha's performance on Sunday not to share it with more of her fans:

Sasha's Cruella was awesome! Because she's portraying the character, I think it may help keep the nerves at bay. It takes that much more concentration, and she perhaps can allow her body to do the jumps the way we've seen for years that she trains them. That's my take anyway. She's doing it perfectly. And that, combined with her Frida SP, shows the depth she's gained performance-wise. Brilliant work from Danny G!

I'm a fan of skaters doing the kind of content and programs that they like. I've always gotten a Nathan-vibe from Sasha, because she just loves to do as many quads as she thinks possible. The complaints about such programs being empty are, to me, themselves empty. I'm not going to complain about what the program doesn't have time to include because of the 5 quads.

A program is a communication between a skater and the audience. All the technique, including jumps, edging, transitions, and so forth, is there to serve the expression of emotion, story, theme, or some combination thereof. Because Sasha expressed the essence and story of Cruella, and did it with brilliant skating, she earned points in my book for performance, artistry. Everything that is elusive and not always able to be measured.

Beautifully done!

I am less optimistic.
The judges will somehow manage to give her a maximum of 75 points even with the Trixel. This is apparently an invisible blanket for Sasha. She gets better and better, and the hard work just doesn't pay off. I don't get it.

The judges are free to give Sasha zero points if they like as soon as the competition in question is not the OG.
At the Great Finale, they will have to play by rules. Or the ISU to be dismissed and many various sinecures lost.

She has improved so much, and the Frida programme really shows it. Her step sequence is fiery and she's selling it well already, even though it's only the start of the season. When she lands the 3A, she will almost certainly score over 80. Fingers crossed for a super free skate for her!

She would have scored 80+ over here if she had landed it with a positive GOE.
