^ makarova does a nice one too
yes, it's quite unfortunate but true...doing the haircutter, biellmann, and enough revolutions racks up the levels even though her position is ugly. I believe I might have read her saying that the layback is painful for her? she has very long legs/short torso so it might be harder for her to get the back flexibility...Cynthia Phaneuf also has this problem.
I wonder why she doesn't try leaning sideways instead; its an acceptable layback position under COP. Agafonova starts out with a "lay-side" and its very seamless and much prettier than the typical Russian layback, even if not classic.
So, 15 years old. She is still amazing and like plushenko, people cannot take their eyes off her. Her arm movements used to annoy me, but clearly she is working on it. Actually, I have come to feel that Liza is simply so musical that she just expresses herself with her arms how she feels. It is very organic and there is no artifice. Why do ladies all need to have similar arm movements? Must she look North American? Of course Liza must take ballet, and so what if she can't skate to Swan Lake right now. She is a skater, not a prima ballerina. She is very musical. There is a pack of young talent there, but there is something about her that makes me think big star in Russia and the world. Plushenko gets slammed for his arm movements his whole career, but his style is his and no one skates like him. Were we not lucky to witness him and Yagudin, different but both so commanding?
I think agafanova has the best combo spin

It would be amazing if she could come into Sochi with two different quads and a triple axel. However I'd much rather see better spins and ice coverage first as that will bring similar rewards with less risk
Тhe most interesting for me - Liza is sure that she`ll jump guard. She tried already.
In the future she wants to be the sport psychologist.
Now she trains and waits whether ISU will allow her to take part in the World Team Champ.
In the summer she `ll train with Mishin`s group in Spain,Italy and Estonia. In Mishin`s plans for her there is no any vacations.
She likes to dance very much. If she wouldn`t be the skater she would become the dancer.
