Tarakanova was sooo good. 72.27 points. And also that last spin is incredible.
There's really not been a whole lot of juniors you could say this for, but for Tarakanova I'm just constantly amazed by her skating. I think I'll make the bold claim that she has stronger SS when it comes to the overall quality of basic skating than any senior lady currently - At least better than Medvedeva or Zagitova.

So only 73.79...
She's got a ton going on in that program. When we think about junior skaters' programs in general we usually would see very little in the way of complex transitions or entries or stuff happening between the elements. Lately it of course has increased quite a bit but her program probably has the most out of all the juniors.
What I find amazing is how she essentially came out of nowhere. Her last season's results weren't really anything to write home about and I believe she wasn't even supposed to have any JGP assignments this season. And then she starts doing this.
Can also see some clear improvement with her from event to event. Who knows how far she'll be able to progress...
Last season she was coming after an injury and therefore struggled. But people who followed her before the injury said that she looked really promising.

is it just me or her jumps look more secure at this competition?
i feel hypnotized watching her skate...
Yes. Kostornaya is beautiful and incredibly polished, skates like a butterfly but Tarakanova is my favorite because of her uniqueness, wild style, so intense. Both are incredible. Tarakanova imho has better jumps, more speed and performance ability, Kostornaya is a bit more shy, looks down a lot, but her back, arms, body movements are just superior.

Katia Mitrofanova regained her jumps?

Girl was half way out of singles and just look at this elegant, capable and charming lady! :luv17:
Kostornaya - same old ugly feet positioning + overscored (Mitro and Taru made too good of a job for 10p difference)
Tarakanova - OK, I admit I felt something for the first time.
The music is strong and some accents in choreo are quite impressive, this is not chaos, I take it back.
Still unesthetic, and too wild for my taste, but not chaotic - the program has sense and drama. :thumbsup:
PS. I love Russian Cup! It's such underestimated series of tourneys with many extraordinary performances in there.
I remember some RC in some forgotten small rink in Samara two years ago, where Nastia Gubanova broke 200 with one of the most beautiful skates I've ever seen.
Watch Russian Cup, my friends - you won't regret it. :yes:

15. Indeed, I'm shocked how solid her jumps look. Few months ago she wanted to start dance career (maybe even did start, I don't remember).

Aah, so sad Trusova got a UR on her 4S. I watched it frame by frame and it was very borderline. I thought they would have given her a ratified one considering these competitions tend to be a little less strict. Oh well. Good thing she didn't fall on it at least.
