I was going to bring her up, because she seems quite engaged with her portrayal, particularly in the short program. I like Gorbacheva in current juniors as well as V. Morozova. Dina S. from the last two stages also has more than a spark.
Lol, certainly not.
Trusova is one in a million talent but Shcherbakova is just a regular, eh? Obviously..
She's never done those in a competition, but she was also doing 3Lz-3Lo at last season's Russian Nationals practise. Here she was doing 3F-3Lo. She could seriously hunt down that SP world record which she is still missing by upgrading the combo
Eteri's Russian fans will forgive you for love for Mishin. But if you try to say something good about Plushenko - beware!
this was not meant to degrade Shcherbakova at all, she is obviously an extraordinary talent too. But she is world champion and 3x Russian champion because of her hard work and competitive mindset moreso than having the #1 innate athletic ability, I don’t think that’s too controversial to say and I think Daniil agrees with me. Whereas Trusova and Valieva are physically athletic talents at the level of Midori Ito, Michael Phelps, Usain Bolt etc. but their “athlete’s mindset” is not near Shcherbakova or say Medvedeva’s levelTrusova is one in a million talent but Shcherbakova is just a regular, eh? Obviously..
Agreed, still Rubtsova and Titova are nowhere near Shcherbakova and Kostornaia talent-wise.

I disagree. How can Shcherbakova's air position and rotation speed not be pure talent up to the level of Valieva and Trusova, or at least Trusova? Trusova has inconsistent quads and not as much in other departments. Either Shcherbakova is to that level, or Trusova can be a level below Valieva. If Shcherbakova is a hard-worker, well Sasha is simply very athletic physically.
At the moment i dont think you can call her that yet, yes she probably will wind this gp event , we dont know yet how she will do in the gpf,at worlds , euros or olympics so calling her that at this time is too early in my opinion. When she has those titles and in my opinion can show us the same next season? Than i would say yes. But for me greatest of all times doesnt mean just winning it once but more than once ,
If for now we can just say Greatest Level of All Time, I'll take it.
I don't think longevity is/will be her forte - and longevity is also an important factor in that 'everthing" imo.
I just want to say nobody's overlooking Zhilina's artistic development. They are working very hard to develop her. But she's not a natural performer so getting that out of her isn't easy work.
You wanted to be undefeated 2 seasons in a row against the kind of competition she faces? Not possible.
Well greatest of all time includes longevity in my opinion at least, it means to stay on top for more than just one season, and do not forget that a certain junior is coming up right behind kamila in the ranks, sadly sonja and also veronika were born in the wrong year, because at the next olympics akatieva will be close to 19 i think and veronika close to 18. So to say greatest of all times sorry its way too early ,and also way too much pressure. Lets not forget that she is only 15 , she is a teenager and she already is beeing put on the pedestal for olympic gold by almost everyone which is such a great pressure for her to live up to it . So yes i agree that the reins should be pulled back because the last thing this girl needs is even more pressure to live up to
