2016 Rostelecom Cup - Ladies SP

[Krunchii]

Why's Medvedeva got a mask? Is Moscow as polluted as Beijing?

Maybe too many people asking for autographs when she's just here to enjoy? She was apparently under the weather at Skate Canada though

 

[Warwick360]

She was said to have a bad cold at Skate Canada, maybe still recovering?

Oh. My second guess was that she probably spent too much time in Japan and ended up getting into the trend of having a mask in public.

 

[Biellmann]

Radionova is still like bambi

 

[SarahSynchro]

Oh boy, Shae Lynn didn't do much to help Elena with her posture.

 

[chuckm]

Don't like the high-necked costume on Elena. She has a very short neck, and the deeper the neckline, the better she looks. She has a pretty face, and needs more of a frame for it.

 

[TGee]

Lena's selling this well, but I'm finding it rougher around the edges in spots than either Anna or Yulia's SP.

Elena Porgy and Bess: 3lutz 3 toe, layback spin, interesting combo spin, 3 loop, 2-axel, flirty steps, layback spin - tech 37.54 so far. She smiles

 

[invisiblespiral]

Lena!

(I feel like she was skating through her music, though. )

 

[Lota]

Elena's hands were so fluid through most of this :luv17:

 

[tulosai]

I really do not like this program for Lena...

 

[SarahSynchro]

Hmmm, I'm gonna say that'll go into second place.

Yeah, something about this program didn't reach me like it normally does. Bit of an odd choice for her.

 

[blue_idealist]

Russian sweep? (so far)

 

[nolangoh]

Despite the axel, I think her landings are better, it is sharper and cleaner. Je t'aime Elena!! Je t'aime~ Je t'aime~ Je t'aime~

 

[Tolstoj]

Shame for the 2a, i really like this program, great comeback for Elena and she is improving a lot on the artistry.

 

[desertskates]

What the frick is going on with that dress??? She looks like half woman/half stuffed animal.

 

[Ares]

That was really funny & laid-back program / performance from Elena Maybe this is her style I guess I have different opinion than tulosai but I don't mind, we can't agree on everything. I agree on rough here or there but it's work in progress.

 

[Mrs. P]

I keep getting shades of Gracie's SP from 2013....though it's Gershwin, so I `guess that's not a stretch really.

 

[text_skate]

She's not selling it like usually, but I think she'll grow into it. By the end of season it will be excellent.

 

[chuckm]

What was with that crowd shot---making fun of her?
