Side note, I'm jealous of Trusova's hair. It's SOOOOOOOO long!

Kostornaia is my favourite, but contrary to all quad haters, I;m actually glad there is a girl who went for quads instead of backloading and tanoing everything. That's what really makes Ladies figure skating progress technically. Big props forTrusova and her team.
Btw. I'm kind of happy there was no Eteri with girls, both male coaches look much more friendly and genuinly happy for their pupils

If quads become the next required thing in ladies' skating, I'm scared what it might do to some athletes. Already figure skating is a sport where injuries are frequent and oftentimes take a skater out for an entire season. Sometimes injuries even end careers.
Practising for quad jump will definitely bring about even more injuries, and I don't like to see children get hurt.

I guess I don't see why the message needs to be that they should be ashamed. I don't see why there should be an implicit shame in being beaten by a girl... in fact I don't think Jason or Adam would feel any shame in it being outscored by a female with two quads.
Comparing her score to the guys as a scale of reference to me can be done... and should be done, in neutral way. Many of us like math and number here and I think we can look at things like this without degrading anyone. At least I would hope we can!
I guess it just matters how things are done. If it is for numbers it is fine if it is to disparage it is wrong.

Trusova doesn't need to learn a triple axel to be competitive. If she did, she undoubtedly wouldn't have the (sort-of rotated) quads because all the time would be spent trying to get a better axel technique.

Haha, tiny Rapunzel on the podium
I forget what is the cut off, June or July 1?
Trusova will be 15 on June 23 2019.
Oh gosh the hair :noshake:

Oh, lord. Didn't know Trusova had such long hair. It's like she did a transformation off ice. :shocked:

Must be the source of her powers. Let's call her Samsonine.

I agree the contrast was nice. I enjoyed both skates and to think I almost skipped it (I’m not super invested in ladies). I want the sport to be pushed both technically and in the over program structure/artistically.

Yeah, it's weird-- but four years ago, Zagitova wasn't on the radar, and Medvedeva was only winning bronzes. We're prophesying Trusova and Kosternaia dominance-- but four years ago, conventional wisdom was that was going to be Radionova and Tuktamysheva, right? Who the heck even knows what's going to happen over the next four years.
