She just makes it look so easy.

Ahh. Just as I was about to come on here and complain again about how they could choose Kanysheva over Sinitsyna. Vindicated. I'm so happy for Sinitsyna! I love that fun short program she kept from last year and her free skate is gorgeous. She's like a mini Kostornaia! I can't wait to see her.
This really is the perfect 7. Though I love Gubanova, I can't deny that. I feel for her, but at this point I'm torn on whether she should get a spot. The boot issues sound severe. Could she even be ready in time? IF they go with 8/6 (going back and forth on which is the best strategy), perhaps Vasilieva is the better choice. Having no GP may not bode well for Gubanova come nationals, but that's what happens with injury. I worry for her.
Regardless I just hope that they do not make the same mistakes they did last year with the assignments. They need to pick a logical strategy and stick with it. Last year was so erratic, it was like they were just picking random names out of a hat. It was so disorganized that 2nd place finisher Gulyakova was left without a second assignment while Rika Kihira made the final with a 2nd and a 3rd. That will be Young You this year if you don't keep it together, RusFed. Pick your 7 or 8 cards to lay on the table and be done with it, let the chips fall where they may.
I still think that we'll see at least 8, if not 9 russian ladies, depending on the results. 8 if everything goes well.For the JGP now, I still want to see just 7 girls getting two spots. Or... if one gets a bronze or below, then an 8th girl.
But I really like this idea:
Week 1: Shcherbakova, Tarusina
Week 2: Kostornaya, Kanysheva
Week 3: Sinitsyna, Trusova
Week 4: Shcherbakova, Tarakanova
Week 5: Tarusina, Kostornaya
Week 6: Sinitsyna, Tarakanova (break of one week between 4 and 6 so still 3 weeks)
Week 7: Trusova, Kanysheva
if there had to be an 8th girl, I'd want it to be Vasilieva.
She does have a silver from Skate Canada in 2015, and a bronze from Cup of China in 2016, though probably she isn't counting those - and no participation in GPF, of course, let alone medals.
They're talking about the past 2 seasons. Liza has won GPF and world's at her prime.
LOL Liza is killing it on insta lately ahahah she's hilarious! I really hope she has a great season!
I hope she gets a spot on the Worlds team. I find Mishin's students way more enjoyable to watch than those of another coach.
Kind of random, but did anyone else notice that Anna had a slightly tighter version of Zhenya's typical hairstyle in her short program I loved seeing them skate together in Japan and hope they can remain friends being so far apart.
Where is Shayuki, I wonder? Was he banned? It's strange there wasn't any word from him after magical Scherbakova performance Maybe he reached enlightment with it and decided to leave, thinking that he already saw best of what fs is capable to offer, hmm.. :think:

I don’t know if this is 100% thread-relevant, but it’s about Eteri and it’s the funniest thing I’ve ever seen about her.
Anywhere it may be, i think it is in heaven, surrounded by a sacred auraWhere is Shayuki, I wonder?
How much times everybody here rewatched her SP already, I wonder? I did it just 3 times so far - but only because I don't want to burn out from it early in the season. Perfection in moderation, like they say I admit though - watching it in the morning is really good mood boosting for the whole day ahead :luv17: :hap93:Fainted from happiness at Shcherbakova's SP?
