As long as the controller is consistent with the calls, it will be good for the young ladies to learn from an early age that urs are big troubles.

Radionova has much better style right now though....it'll be interesting.
I'm sorry, WHAT?
It seems odd to make the SENIOR Grand Prix Final and skate in the WJC. I know Yulia did it but at least she withdrew from GPF first and skated injured to level the field a bit. Not sure if this is good for Elena or not. Still think IMHO Proklova>Medvedeva .
Hey Sam-Skwantch- Are you forgetting that Elena is injured too?
Edit- Oh yeah. Still feels weird!
B/c most of Russia's top skaters are so young, this has been the case for everyone for the past few years. Both Liza T and Adelina debuted on the senior GP but were too young to go to senior worlds so they went to junior worlds instead; well, Adelina did...Liza declined. The year after that Julia debuted on the senior GP and ended up going back to junior worlds...same for Elena this year.
The Russian ladies are just so young...Elena should be eligible for senior worlds next year though. Given that no one has really stood out on the junior level this year, I think going back to junior worlds is a good move for Elena. She can make history by becoming the first lady to win back-to-back titles and she is definitely the favorite coming in.
I think Prokolova would have been a better choice too...

Ziggy will be developing a peptic ulcer right about now.
