if this is history.. . a < quad attempt.. then jason brown's quads are just as valid... NOT... sorry not sorry
And Sasha broke the record, she has highest score for international debut. Previous - Panenkova at Sofia Trophy 197.37. Zagitova an year ago had 194.37.
I believe at this JGP event all Ladies are underscored. They deserved higher score, while placing is right.
Why only Gubanova? Tarakanova won Trusova past season both at Younger and Elder age Nationals.
And Miss Rippon Panenkova. And Vasilieva is very strong too. And Rika Kihira.
I'm still curious about scores for PCS by Australian judge (number 6). May be in Australia they still use 6.0 - system?
I think she was nervous a little bit.Also i think her 3ltz-3T is much better than her 3ltz-3Lo but looking at the protocols she got more points with the loop combo so i can see why she is doing it..
It's very frustrating if completely incompetent judges are allowed to judge simply due to being from the host country.
:sarcasm: You realise that to judge JGP you have to have passed all the prerequisite ISU exams, host country or not, right? And that the annual exams were only a month or so ago?

Do we know what Trusova's second JGP assignment is??
Also good job to everybody Trusova was just amazing!!
hater exposed (or maybe you agree with Tarasova that Jason and Adam should compete in ladies because they can't jump quads)
A quad in ladies figure skating is history, even underrotated.
nope.. not a hater.. nor even a disliker. Last year, Alexei tried the quad loop... well... a lot of people were upset that a poor attempt would be ratified as the first one in history. Then people were very happy that Yuzu got his ratified as it was completely rotated with a good landing. All I am saying is that whatever the jump, whatever the age or gender, if we are going to talk about history-making achievements, well, let's do it on clean jumps. Trusova already made history this weekend by being the youngest winning of a JGP (if that's correct... I read that somewhere)... she will keep making history as it's clear that she can land a clean 4s... but this attempt, although very good to me, doesn't make history.... we are all entitled to our opinion but history in sports suggest something that is good enough to be talked about decades from now...
In my opinion, Trusova will be in the history books but not for that attempt... for other achievements... sure. I don't think it serves anyone to lower our standards with jump quality because it's a13 y o girl attempting the quad.... that's actually sexist attitude of "oh well, girls cannot really do it, so let's cheer when one almost does it". I believe that it is possible for some truly gifted young ladies to land it in competition, fully rotated, and when that's happen, whoever succeeds it, i will be joining the party of admirers. And regarding Trusova herself, WOW is indeed a good word. BRAVO
YMMV
We have men doing quads for years, UR or not they're doing them. Ladies not so much. Ladies doing quad is much rarer. I am glad we are seeing this.Not sure which is more insulting
A 13 yr. old girl's quad being compared to a more seasoned grown man or
A more seasoned grown man's quad being compared to a 13 year old girl
What did you mean by that? That Sasha isn't truly gifted?
And there you go. Absoulutely fully rotated 4T. I'm 100% sure she will do the same amazing fully rotated jump on competition. But she's unfortunately injured. She's 13yo too.
What about Sasha, I've never seen her doing clean 4S. I hope she will do it one day, but she's not ready right now. It's obvious. But anyway this is around 8 points for 4< so it's worth it.
Does Miki Ando's 4S from like 2002-2003 JGPF not count as the first anymore? I know in retrospect people say it was UR, but it was considered the first a long time...But I feel like the ISU ratified it as the first....
This doesn't take away from Trusova's attempt -- I though it was a good one and it's clear she has a lot of great jump ability, but just sincerely confused at all the "history" talk.
