Margo is impressive and consistant as usual.
I’m really wondering if she will last long at senior level. I can’t believe all this years at a high level could have no consequences on her body.

This season she has some consistency problems but I hope everything is fine again. can hardly remember anyone landing quads with such lightness as she does.

Poor Liza. She was very consistent during the season.

It might cost her qualifying to the Federation Cup Final.

That's a shame. First fall of the day from one of my favorite skaters. I still love to watch her-especially her triple jumps which are usually so good.

I don't know why people harp on this girls artistry so much. Is it because it isnt as good as her jumps? Thats a tall ask for the best jumper in the world. Her artistry is average at absolute worst, and this is a 13 year old skating mediocre programs. The progress is clear her energy is quite amazing today. If Eteri locks in and gives her serious programs its finished. She is soo flexible as well.

Isn't she 13 still? Probably one of the most advanced on the planet for artistry at that age.

Second group has supercritical number of top skaters.

 

[Skating91]

The junior women's short programs will be helped a lot by allowed them to do a single 3A from next season (I think that is correct). Forcing them to jump the 3A in a combo takes away a lot of the excitement in this field. I suppose it doesn't matter so much at international level.

Yes probably. I think shes quite advanced for that age too.

I think the most advanced artist we have relative to age is Korchazhnikova.

Lyuba delivered 3Lz+3Lo.

What a bloodbath this is. All so good. That lutz loop was beautiful. But a risk as so often the loop is called under.

 

[Mathematician]

Rubtsova deserves some respect. Her injury was quite severe, she couldn't walk, wasn't sure if she'd ever skate again. Not only did she come back but at this level with such a clean 3Lo combo and a 3A as well. Quite consistent. Shes an impressive artist also and always was, its too bad her music this season is so whack, she could be even more than she is now by a lot IMO. She was a serious outlier even before artistically.

 

[Mathematician]

Go go Alena!!

 

[katymay]

That was lovely. She has beautiful musicality and lightness

 

[flanker]

Alena's performance level was the highest. Pity she got only 3 for steps.

 

[Mathematician]

Ban ultra-c and Prineva is my #1 junior

 

[Mathematician]

Go go Alisa now!!!

 

[flanker]

Davai davai Alisik!

 

[AlexBreeze]

Margo didn't want to do the 3A+3T but Eteri told her "Why? You know how to do it."

 

[Skating91]

The running edges are incredible

 

[Mathematician]

Ban ultra-c and Prineva is my #1 junior

Ok ok Alisa is way better than everyone LOL but shes basically a senior now it doesnt count...

 

[flanker]

Alisik is a fully mature skater already.
