what is this music ? Is this the European Union ?

 

[Sophie-Anna]

I just can't help I love her skating!!! Amazing even with that mistake on a combination.

 

[EdgeCall]

First Christmas treat of the day.

 

[Alchamei]

Poor Alena, she can't catch a break :sad21:

 

[atsumiri]

birds?
i don't get it....

 

[Sugarpova]

To be fair, Gubanova has really really lovely arms and neck/back carriage. She almost reminds me of 1988 Gordeeva.

I don't care for her jumping arm position though. Her elbow sticks out so much, seems kinda counterproductive if you want to rotate fast.

Ive seen lots of ppl mention she may lose her jumps later:hopelessness:

133, she almost got 200 points in total. The lutz combo lost it for her I guess.

not really, because she did a combo with flip

 

[areuskater]

how old is Alena now ? shes been competing forever.

 

[gravy]

She'll be 74 in 2 days.

 

[Sugarpova]

Hopefully Zhulin isnt watching

 

[Totentanz]

I guess retirement is soon for Leonova. I loved her so much in the past, she's still good at performing but jumps are mostly not there.

 

[atsumiri]

She'll be 74 in 2 days.

:shocked::eeking:

 

[areuskater]

She'll be 74 in 2 days.

[Alchamei]

She'll be 74 in 2 days.

[gravy]

That typo

What typo?

 

[areuskater]

Leonova really likes European Union and Beethovens theme music. Maybe EU comission should invite her to skate for them.

 

[Zhenya is DIVINE]

Poor Alyona. Some people don't know when to move on.

 

[silverfoxes]

I hope she stays competing as long as Fumie did!

 

[EdgeCall]

It's such a rollercoaster with Alena. She starts strong, fails, comes back again ... always entertaining, sometimes involuntarily so ... hwell:
