2017-18 State of Russian Ladies skating

Wait. WHY IS DASHA IN THE SECOND GROUP NOW??
Also: why does no one on here besides shark113 and me seem to support Dasha?!
she often get lowest PCS among top junior russian also her flip often hinder her score with ! or even e marks... Thats why Eteri changer her 3F to 3Lo so she repeat 3Lo now in FS.... She should go for 3Lo+3T/3Lo+3Lo maybe in SP?

I think she has the highest BV behind Zagitova in RusNats. It's the PCS she needs to work on.
She is a very promising skater with high BV and good consistency, and I think she will do much better if the Fed decides to promote her to senior.

I have a question: What makes the difference between a good and a bad spiral? Just the body position? Or is it also important to have a direction or curve or edge or line or whatever? Because to me, all the spirals look more or less the same (except consisting of different body positions)

You can search Mao's and Yuna's spirals comparison, but don't post links here, you can get b...butterflies in the stomach

Sasha Cohen = very good
Laetitia Hubert & Yoshie Onda = very bad

Depsite her amazing positions, I'd rather point to someone with better edge quality then Sasha for good spirals. Mao who was mentioned above IMO was better. Kostner isn't the most flexible, but I like her spirals for her deep edge & speed.

Among the Russian girls, I always thought Adelina had amazing spirals :luv17:
 
This is old news but......I finally saw the top 3 ladies from Russian Nationals.......If they skate their best I could honestly see them sweeping the Podium in Korea. They are ALL amazing. I love a ton of ladies this year but, my gut tells me that if the Russians go clean, they could sweep the Podium.

I honestly think so, too. Masha (?) will have to rely on a good tech score. And Kaetlyn and satoko are too big IFs.
 
I guess Konstantinova gets 69.10 PCS in nationals after getting 58.46 in JGP.

And actually gets on the podium over several completely clean skaters despite having wobbly landings and missing her entire combo in SP(Which you of course wouldn't believe if you just looked at the score she received for it).


It's also a big shame because Gubanova needs the junior worlds(Losing to Konstantinova by 0.35 points) to qualify for senior GP. Last time Konstantinova also got overscored into junior worlds and posted 160 points. But I guess they somehow consider her far, far better than the strongest junior skaters in the world.
 
Am I the only one that thinks that Panenkova was robbed big time here? Plus Tarakanova?
Will Tarakanova even get JGP spots next year? I hope so, as Konstnatinova and Panenkova and probably Gubanova will move up...

Of course Tarakanova gets JGP spots. She's in no danger at all.

Gubanova moving up isn't really a guarantee now, however.

Tarakanova will get JGP spot for sure. No need to ask that lol she's JGPF bronze medalist... And its not like she's bombed at nats. Also im not sure Gubanova will move up if she didnt go to JWC.
