Anna has a ukrainian heritage?

 

[Meoima]

Gubanova's jumps might not last if she grow up. Her Lutz has horrible loosen air position. And the loop has crazy looooong entry and she popped it.

It was going so well for Gubanova, and then she popped the last jump

If only the Bolshoi/Mariinsky ballet director could see this. A ballerina on ice.

Hmm that's interesting, I wonder why she doesn't? She'd have a better chance at being the top skater there wouldn't she?

Although I have heard ice conditions there aren't very good, so maybe that's why. Or she just grew up in Russia and likes it there.

I did not know that. But being from Khakrkov means they could stil be Russian... just living in Ukraine.

 

[anonymoose_au]

OMG...those tights...

No, Yashenko, just no.

A lot of skaters have left Ukraine when they have the chance...bad conditions, little if any financial support. I can't see any reason why she would want to change at all.

I wanted to say the same, ballerina on ice.

 

[Kittosuni]

I prefer Gubanova' old simplier more subtle dress
