Nastya nailed all the jumps and was clean which was great, and I feel the scores didn't do her justice. Were the lost levels on the spin and step sequence really necessary? Kind of feel she was robbed not necessarily on placement due to the mistake in the short, but just overall on the score for the free. That was more than a 120 for sure!
I've never thought that I would be saying this... but the Eteri team is the only one that understood what type of skater she is. Plushenko wanted a successor and Panova, a child. Asya is a force, she doesn't perform the fairy programs as well as when she is allowed to be wild. You can't put a tiger in a jail and call it ferocious.
Not that I want her to go back, but I wish Panova understood that she won't make a delicate skater out of her.
I must admit, .. I don't understand why people are saying, .. "IF she gets a 2nd JGP assignment", .. she was assigned to JGP Croatia, according to the ISU ..
.. where she could have had a real chance at Gold, .. i.e. no significant competition.
.. now it looks like that's been changed to JGP Poland, where, once again she'll be up against Liu.
What's with all this .. IF ??
I agree that her current Programs seems a bit too timid/passive, .. Anastasia needs to be allowed to .. fly ..
The assignments aren't finalized, the skaters get swapped easily based on their results.
Right now, being 0.3 point short of Maia who also got a bronze, Nastia is in the risk of being withdrawn.
Other girls, who will probably score higher, might get her spot.
Maia has been assigned to JGP Riga this week due to Kanysheva withdrawing. I think now Nastya has more probabilities for a 2nd GP now.
Really? She's listed in Croatia and Maya in Poland.. seems to be a bit of a mess right now..
Most likely.Nastya (like Kamila) isn't on the sub list of JGP Egna. Maybe it means her 2nd assignment (Zagreb) is not subject to change?
Anastasiya's latest workout video is up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omWT_FYpS7I
I'm using most of this in the fitness gym, though far from that precise
did she get kicked out of gdansk?
