my thoughts
Stasya
Alena


please don't eat me alive, Stasya's fans

At this point in their careers:
Alena
Stasya

 

[Grin]

So Tarakanova isn't even on the substitute list? Why that?

How so? 14 yo robotic (orly?) Alena has more titles than 17yo Stasya.

Better question would be "who's safer bet as a senior skater"?

I say Stasya - with jumps past puberty, very fast on ice, energetic, charismatic, authentic, lovely, kind, warm, polite, direct personality.
Kostornaia is still a puberty question mark, less charismatic, rather robotic and artificial in her skating plus emotionally reserved.

Robotic Kostornaya sonds like juniorish Kostner to me

Total autopilot skating for me. Not much emotions or abandon at all. I prefer passionate imperfection over empty elegance.

Because she was placed 7th. All substitutes were ahead of her.

You prefer passionate imperfection and abandon but you don't like Tarakanova...:think:

Never heard of her, but meh. If I wanted to watch someone skate with that sort of faux charisma (i.e. just being super angry all the time), I'd rather watch Radionova. She sells it better and has the technical goods. On what planet is this supposed to better than Kostornaya???

I probably don't like her 'insane asylum' program more than the skater herself.

On my "faux" planet obviously. :sarcasm:

Kostornaia is the most naturally talented and artistic Russian girl since Julia Lipnitskaia of 2012-2014. Simply beautiful skating, stunning posture and difficult transitions made seamless. Stasya can't even compare with her hunched, rounded shoulders and sloppy skating.

^Are you trying to trigger me?


Don’t make me !!

I'll delete my post. I'm sorry. Don't know what's wrong with me.

I think Rudfeds are suckers for Stasya's beauty and kindness. Her overwhelming adorableness is corrupting people minds, but can we really blame them?

Yes, we can! - one of u.s.a. presidents
