So after watching this fan cam
I would like to send a formal apology to all Frolova fans who I have been ridiculing.
She is a master in this performance. Everything I said she doesnt have, she showed that she does with this skate.
Judging by fan cams, nobody else came even close to this pure skating at this event. Sinitsyna totally paled in comparison. Muravieva was great in her 2nd half but she had too many shaky and inconsistent moments at the start to compare to Frolova overall (in spite of Muravieva's awesome theme and expressivity).
I'm not judging by the "event standards" but just by skating standards which is all I care about and all that really impresses me.
Some pretentious theme and many props does nothing for me. Naturally beautiful, sophisticated skating is the peak to me and she reached it at a substantial level.
I could go into extreme detail on how impressed I am but I want to preserve my time.
I think I can admit she is likely the favourite now of those (who are competitively eligible) currently fighting for the 3rd place of artists in Russia after Petrosian/Akateva. Indeed, even ahead of Sinitsyna. But all will become more clear next season which makes things so much more exciting.
@LolaSkatesInJapan I wonder what you think of this skate from a ballet perspective (the fancam, not official recording)?
