Being universally loved is something like those movies that in order to catch everyone resign for even the least aspiration of class and high quality and at the end they have no taste, charisma or sense. It is the last thing I want from my favourite skater.
Totally the opposite for me. Anna has some kind of magic that always draws me in. Few skaters have that imo.oh i totally understand it. Even with a meltdown she's going to Olys I dont have any illusions. It was basically a post of desperation from meAS is like the most overrated skater ever to me
A year ago, it was clearly noticeable what a powerful wave of emotions arose during Anna's performance on the ice. Spectators and commentators were in tears, even Tutberidze could not resist. I saw this performance for the first time on the small screen of my smartphone, and after that my pneumonia began to recede. Maybe it's a coincidence, or maybe my lungs felt ashamed that they were ready to surrender to the disease that such a thin girl defeated. I had the feeling that she was fighting there not for a medal, but for my life, for hope. And I will never forget this feeling of victory in the end, and I saw the same feeling in the eyes of other people who were watching Anna then.
I find Kamila’s interpretation bad because she either looks angry or in pain and that was an issue I had with Perfume as well. But then the movie/music itself is really dark so maybe it’s sort of appropriate? I in general just don’t like these sorts of desperate programs or super lyrical ones where interpretation is reduced down to what Dance Moms fans might know as the “Maddie Face”. It does nothing for me.
Her straight legged crossovers kill me. Ever time. She does emote and feels the music though.
The tradition must be uphold, she wouldn't be able to win again, otherwise!
When talking about the scoring potential, Anna did only two quads last year. Her tech score was 106, a year before it was 108, with 3 quads but one mistake. So if Anna will do three clean quads her score can still increase for like 6-8 points. Of course clean Kamila will probably win, but Anna's scoring potential is not far away.
If want to give me a credit card number or a few bucks and pay for me to go to Russia, I would be happy to go and place a bet for you. Anna is currently at 5.50 to win gold. Haha
Anna hasn't done two quads since last Nationals, and three since before the pandemic, so I don't think it's realistic to expect her to land three when she has struggled to do a clean one this season.
Actually she did two quads at the Channel One Trophy, but so what. Before the last nationals Anna did only 4F at the Cup stages and similarly like you now, some people were telling her future from that. Anna is doing both 4Lz and 4F in training now, she did clean 4F at both her GP stages ("she has struggled to do clean one"?) and I am not a "professional deliberate pessimist" when it comes to Anna like some others.
I'm not a pessimist. She may do three quads, but Kamila already has done that this season, so I don't think both doing three is equally likely.Actually she did two quads at the Channel One Trophy, but so what.

Before Skate Canada you could say the similar thing about Kamila, that she did not deliver a clean program with 4T, 4S and 3A yet. And there she is now. I don't think there is any need to recap Anna's lack of training before due to her injury that gave her less time for preparation, but now everything should be fine. I would understand this if she has never ever landed a single quad (though remember the ridiculing of Maiia to which she gave a clear answer), but in reality we live this persistent repudiation is more like obstinacy.
Three quads is two more than she has done all season. I would be equally as doubtful as Kamila doing five, or Sasha seven.
Don't remember your doubts about them before
Sasha also did only one clean quad program so far in the competition this season, but you'd be doubtful only from seven? C'mon
