Well Petrosyan is paying the price for not competing internationally for over two years. Unlike past Eteri expiry date girls they built up a reputation, they got consistent and trutfully they have more C elements. Petrosyan has no reputation unlike Loena and like it or not, fair or not that matters. She won't win olympics probably because I don't think she is on the GP. Now if she was on the GP she probably woud get better and higher pcs eventually.
She just doesn't have the elements like the prior Russian girls who did multiple triples including quad flips and lutzes. Does anyone know if she is skating anywhere else?
She didn’t, you’re confusing the GOE grade and the points. On that combo -0.98 points means it was overall scored by the judges at -2 GOE average; for a 4Lz, -0.99 points means judges have it at -1 GOE average. So in your examples, she was scored harsher than that male skater, whoever that was.
Really just one quad would be enough, and her 4T seemed pretty solid last year. She can do it twice, once in combo to rack up the tech points.
They mentioned that she was coming off injury too, so that's also a factor in playing it safe here.
Okay let's not get dramatic here....
Ugly as all get out.....
She does have a quad flip. She is also the only lady to land a 4Lo in competition. Her spins are better than any of the prior Russian girls except Kamila. Anna never had a 4T or a 3A. Trusova also struggled with a 3A and was extremely inconsistent. If you compare only domestic scoring she has wiped all the Russian girls already at their prime except for Kamila, who also only had 4S and 4T for quads. She has the highest senior career average from any Russian lady in history. The narrative that just because Anna and Sasha had a lutz means they're better, is completely wrong. And, in Akateva's best season, when she was supposed the chosen one, she was still outscored by Adeliia both by season average and peak score.
Better spins than Lipnitskaia?
Well she had all of them except the 4Lo last season. She isnt jumping any now which is effectively pre-season by the Russian standard. In any case we're comparing the whole career, by which standard she is the first, if we compare even only domestic scores.
I look at it from the opposite side.. If Adelia does 2 quad toes, that turns the screws on the other girls. IMHO the others would need a triple Axel to make it competitive. Alyssa Liu has a presentation boost (at least she did at Worlds) but by itself that's only a couple of points. Kaori Sakamoto has the best skating skills, but again she can't give away too many points in base value. Anber Glenn has a triple Axel but otherwise her skating is not above quite a few others, including the top Japanese and Koreans, plus competitors like Pinzarrone and Petrokina.
Indeed, but its a tall ask for skaters to learn ultra-c out of thin air in just a few months with minimal competitive practice left, and you can only get so much extra from improving your triples or PCS, especially if you're someone like Kaori who is already maxxing all that out. In any case, these girls know what she is capable of and have been aware of her participation for a while. They already know what they're supposed to be beat. I wouldn't be too worried about any of the main players right now levelling up like crazy out of thin air unless Alyssa stabilizes that 3A well enough for 2 programs. I think Adeliia's biggest worry should just be to maintain the form she had the last couple seasons. There are also some wildcards like I mentioned learning 3As and quads but I don't know if they will have the reputation or holistic completeness to challenge the top girls despite a potentially impressive BV.
She was overscored on PCS -- no knee bend whatsoever and one of Danny G's worst ever programs. Atrocious packaging. The man is not a talented choreographer. At least when Averbukh choreographed for Eteri, the programs were mostly tolerable.
0/10 rage bait
It might be time to log off for the night, dear. That performance was not "absolutely knocked out of the park".
So you're telling me you think that was a good program? Not rage bait, but a legitimate question. I found the program to be a parody of Danny G's worst chorography traits.
I already said I don't like this program like 10 times in this thread
