They didn't even invite her to junior test skates...
If she performs well this season, she will be invited next. Lozko was not in the mix a year ago either, even though she was age eligible.

ugh there are not enough spots for this pool of talent
So just for you to know, 14yo Alina Zagitova has just had the best SP debut in history with 68.07 points.

Alina Zagitova really impressed me! Her jumps and spins are very impressive and I loved her StSq. She's got really good speed. Expression could be better, but I like what I'm seeing so far. :agree:
I hope Anna Tarusina is okay and that this isn't a season-ending injury. It must have been really scary to be in a bus accident and she was likely quite upset to miss her JGP debut.

Eteri and her team are the best.
Technically speaking, wow: 40.80, even better than the mens here.
The choreo is good, i love the steps sequence (so difficult) but it could be a little more fluid, maybe it's just because this is the first event.
What a shame the injury for Tarusina, i loved her SP last year.

Yeah, she is very talented but the choreography has zero connection to the music.
Adelina's exhibition skate from training camp in Sochi.

I am afraid Tarusina's season is over ;( She's undergoing a knee surgery in Grenoble's hospital.

:noshake:Adelina's Jumps gives you that very split second impression thats she's surely going to land the jump, then crashes and burns the very next split second later on. Strong technique (except for that flutz though, still needs some work), but surprisingly still falls. Very disappointing.
I am concerned on her ability to compete against the influx of young Russian skaters like Polina or even Sotskova. If she continues to fall on her jumps like this the next season, I am quite sure that Russia has no choice but to relegate her to being reserve skater in place of Sotskova and Polina. At least even Liza possesses the history of being dead consistent during the 2014-2015 season (GPF Champion + World Champion vs controversial OGM), PLUS a potential solid 3A. Adelina on the other hand is slightly weaker, offering huge jumps (great if landed, pointless if she falls), above average spins and emotional choreography which isn't actually impressive in the current Russian field. Both Adelina and Liza's position on the national team is shaky, but I believe Liza is at least in a better position than Adelina as long as she simply improves her choreography.
Like someone has said before, Adelina desperately needs a coaching change. It did wonders for Yulia and she seems highly promising for the upcoming season.
I apologise for offering my honest opinions that seem to put down a hardworking skater, but this is what I honestly feel and I want to let it be heard. HOWEVER, my opinions are highly subject to change considering that this is just an exhibition skate. But then again, Adelina had almost 2 seasons to improve

I am not sure if Russia will move her to the reserve team. Leonova skated badly for quite a few seasons and yet she still holds on.
