I am sorry but Zhang Kexin is just taking the piss. She is still skating completely blank-faced, without any emotion, moving mechanically through her programs like a robot. It's as if she couldn't possibly care less. Yes, she might have a very introverted and shy personality but I see no improvement in this area since she started competing internationally.

she is like a machine program to just jump and get into her elements
her PCS should be lower than Gou

What a pity, that combo. From all the Russian ladies I like the presentation of Nikol the most. Very musical, sympathetic.

It's just an absolute travesty that Gosviani's PCS are almost the same as Pogorilaya's...

Not for me, actually. I like her movements and style, but it didn't fit to Beethoven very well. Just too slow. Oh, and hasn't her face changed quite a bit? At first I did not recognize her.

agreed! and i dont think shes particulary slow either

for the judges, 25+ PCS are reserved mostly for B list skaters
Nikol, Anna, etc. are treated as B list skaters even for Russian ladies
so they are on the same PCS range
