I can feel tars offended from the distance! tars would never dream of having Scherbakova in anywhere else but S+ and would group Tarakanova with Kostornaya in anywhere from A- to B+ lol.
To each his own. I prefer elegance and control over 'wildness' in fs indeed. Shcherbakova is super elegant from head to toe, Kostornaya from head to knee, Tarakova is hardly elegant at all imho.
Haha, I knew they had to do something with the big bunch of technical monsters potentially outskating Olympic participants!
They narrowed the number - now underscoring games will be less glaring for public. Need to say I'm not criticizing it - it'd be indeed weird and unflattering to send, let's say, 7th place Nats finisher to Olympics.
Would appreciate some official source to the new rules though, thx in advance. :thumbsup:
Re: Zagitova EX
1. Let's not fall into another extreme - she IS sexy in this program. But there is fine line between sexy and vulgar and imo she's not crossing it with that little ice rubbing in her semi-transparent, tight and slick tiger costume she's doing in the beginning.

2. She's professional senior skater earning several thousands of dollar each tourney, seeking for quick establishment as a senior in crucial Olympic season, surrounded by professional adult coaching staff at the highest world level. I'm sure they know, what they're doing.
3. I also advice those outraged to go out more often and look around the world they're living in.
Believe me, things don't look rosy at all and that Russian figure skating upbringing is one of the safest bet up there. :thumbsup:
