They're so average comparing to Medvedeva, Zagitova, Trusova and Shcherbakova... :disapp:
It's been rather judges, who did a good job there.
Hey
tars, let me tell ya something. I know you're a good person, so I don't really care about some of your bad words about the girls, I know you didn't mean that. I see here and there, everywhere so many people, which is saying total nonsense, some of them even have very earlier dates of registration on this forum. But they're full of ignorance to understand something, and it's just wasting my time to argue with them and feed them. But I know you're kind, so I'll try to explain in a couple words why Alena should leave your list of those to whom you can't stand or something.
First, about Open Moscow Cup, I saw your wonder about her scores. That competition was very strict, there also was underscored another my favorite Ksenia Sinitsyna, and Katia Kurakova. At Russian Cup, Ksenia got for the free program score higher by 10 points in PCS than at Open Moscow Cup. And actually, I really liked these scores. It's good when the local judges are so strict. Because you see so nice difference at JGP and it's really cool. Scores like at St. Pete cup or something make me laugh, so I hope such competition as MOC will be more. As for Alena, yes her 3F was a bit shaky at JGP, she was nervous, but she did it. With amazing 3T. So that's okay.
Second, about Eteri's Wars: Attack of the clones. Sure, they have only one style and when so many girls come from the same group you might not see the difference. it's a problem. But look at Alena more closely. Eteri's style could be boring and repetative, and at some of her skaters it really looks boring. But it doesn't mean this style is bad at all, and when you see the girl to whom this style really fits, everything starts to play in other colors. Her SP really could be more intense, but she skates it perfectly, even with this very boring music.
Third, she's not from Eteri school originally, so it's also wrong to say that she's the same. She stands out. This is very noticeable.
Look at her skating skills, at her face expressions, at her amazing and the most difficult transitions in and out at jumps, among the all juniors. Look at her gorgeous lutz and axel... Look how beautiful she is, in the end. She is a real gem.
So leave this girl alone, you nasty bully!
