2016 Rostelecom Cup - Ladies SP

[MeltedIce]

She looks more mature and womanly than at worlds. I'm still deciding which I like more, hers or Anna's program

 

[Warwick360]

Jesus.....clip of Medvedeva and her team laughing during Elena's highlights. That is such a not so subtle way of stirring the pot by whoever is handling the broadcasting direction. :dev2:

 

[Crossover]

Ho-hum about the program.

 

[xabia]

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.

Yes - that costume makes her look as though she has no waist. Perhaps she's put on weight.

 

[TheGrandSophy]

The stsq was good. I always find her a bit ragged to watch but the music disguised the posture problems a bit, I felt.

 

[andromache]

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

That's what it looked like to me too.

Did anyone else think Elena's -3T looked UR?

 

[snowflake]

Elena 71.93 in second place.

Now Galustyan!

 

[silverfoxes]

Sorry...I still think the version of the song they chose is horrific. I don't know if I will ever like another of her programs...just one bad choice after another

 

[blue_idealist]

Yes - that costume makes her look as though she has no waist. Perhaps she's put on weight.

She looks older in the face, but I don't know if it's due to weight gain or not. Hmm.

 

[berry8]

71 ????

 

[WeakAnkles]

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

Early jazz would probably suit her, but Porgy and Bess is deceptively sophisticated and she's still a bit too noodly for it. Hamming it up isn't enough to cover it up.

I would have put Lip ahead of Rad.

 

[sabinfire]

I thought Yulia was better, I'd have Elena 3rd.

 

[xabia]

Radionova overscored.

 

[Icey]

tes too high with that double axel

 

[Yatagarasu]

Looking at the first three, they low-balled Yulia in the scores. She should have been second but ah well.

 

[Mrs. P]

Is there still some Russian training pecking order at play here? Is Yulia, being in Sochi, now sort of at a disadvantage compared to the Moscow-based skaters?

 

[Lota]

I don't know why (the dress?), but Elena kind of looked like an ostrich to me I do actually like her program though, very different from her usual stuff :agree:

 

[TGee]

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

You know, I was thinking that Lena and Yulia should trade costumes

Yulia has the form to carry of the 60s black fringy tube and it would suit her music better...

Elena might look better in the coffee costume of Yulia's...

 

[sneakers]

woo, Lena
cup of russia darling

Just like Stolbova's reaction at Elena FS last year.
