Fall on the 2nd combo and out of nothing on steps. But Sima rotated 3-3 and with +GOE. And she is gaining confidence: I loved her 3-3 in the SP. The landing on the first jump was not perfect, but she added a triple toe without hesitation. In the past she either would have doubled the 2nd jump or she would have done a triple toe with doubts in her mind and thus fallen. It's just great to see her again winning international competitions. 
Well done, Sima!

Thank you so much again, Lcp2000 for uploading the video!
Funny thing is that even though I knew she would fall twice, when watching I still gasped in shock each time. I think it is a testament to how steady she has become now, and how improved, because before I tended to expect falls and crashy landings - I used to watch her skates almost not daring to look.
Loved the crowd response - clearly they enjoyed her skating.
And today she looked in much better heart in the kiss & cry. I confidently believe this is just the beginning to better things to come.

I love the fire in Sima, you go Phoenix-girl!
If all Plushenko could do for Sima would be to give her confidence, i will still applaud him.

I can't wait to see her there.

He's got a Kings on Ice tour in Slovakia, though - so he won't be able to make it.
I just realised - does this mean Sima gets a spot to Russian Nationals?

Nah, it wasn't certain. Fifth stage is coming up soon. Fedichkina is out but there were a couple of others who also had a chance.

The other coaches don't have a visa, so Sima has to travel by herself. I wonder if Eteri can help her out a bit since they did not part on bad terms like so many of her other skaters. It's not as if Sima is going to be a threat to Polina.

I thought only Dudakov will go with Polina, or is Eteri going too?
I know the same... but wait... there will be her former coach with Leonova... Maybe he can look after her

Well, Dudakov would be fine. Or yeah, Rukavicin. That might be awkward though.
