Shame about the combo, that's going to cost. Rest of the program was nice

SP: 26.38+27.82-1.00 = 53.20, 6th out of 7

Love Liza's final spin.

Really think she should consider speaking to a sports psychologist about this SP issue she has. I really don't think it's just physical or jst bad luck at this point.

Oooof that combination. Girl was lip-sincing during the footwork. I thought her sit spin looked messy, but the other spins looked really strong. I liked the final combination! But that's going to cost her.

I agree. She's had this short program demon since she was still in juniors. The season she won her GP events in 2011-2012 was an odd exception.

Valentina's score is absurd

a reason not to send Tuk to Sochi
her SP will bury her in the standings

Though, Tuk can be send to Sochi if Russia wants her to skate Free Skate in the team event. She bombs SP, but usually does good FS. As for me, for the Ream Event Julia SP+Tuk FS would be quite solid.

I do think Liza needs a sports psychologist. This is ridiculous I think it's possible she could be at an event where you need to qualify for a fs and she wouldn't. Maybe even Sochi Olympics.

I liked the speed-increase in the layback spin and the steps into the 2a from Viktoria, but the rest was kind of eh...

(And I really want her to burn that dress)

If Tukt misses the first jump as she does a lot these days, isnt it better for her score to do the combo later?

A psychologist would be useful for both Liza and Artur. They have so much potential and yet they can't always get it together. Shame because I really enjoy both.

I think she does need a psychologist
in recent interviews she says she is tense and nervous in SP
and feels Free and Liberated in FS, no idea why she feels like that
