2018-19 Russian Ladies' figure skating

[tars]

Well Bratislava and Vancouver now have Young You who supposedly has 3A (but fell on it at the Korea qualifiers for JGPs) so I would put Trusova or Kostornaya at each of them, possibly both of them.

She was very close though.

My gosh, I can already hear the Youtube commenters screaming about tutus and finishing movements.

tutus aside, i did have an issue with Alina movements looking rushed and her not finishing them last season so i hope it's something Daniil will look into.

Yes, I agree with you. I posted that because commenters on Youtube always overreact massively to Alina not finishing her movements. Critiquing makes sense, but saying a skater should die, deserves nothing, etc...over not finishing movements? It’s never made sense.

i don't even want to look at the youtube's comment section most of them time the things i've read there, yikes! some of the comments under her Don Quixote program at the olympics lmao people were salty like the sea i still remember the mass downvoting on her videos after she won the europeans

It’s easy when you can just cut, copy and paste your own spam

Doesn't matter how close it was if she fell and URed. Kostornaya's 3A should be much better.

Talks on 3As only landed in practice so far are useless! we'll see when the JGP begins who lands what and how.
it's really exciting how ambitious the junior girls layouts are this upcoming season. Senior field pales in comparison (except for Rika, we'll see if surprises us with 3A-3T and 4T as planned)

Can you count rotations?
It's 2A

 

[Shayuki]

how old is she?

Well, she's 8 years and 5 months old.

She should try and jump a triple soon, her older sister landed one when she was 8 and a half.

at 8 y.o. i agree on 2A, not bad...

I don't know what's with these two. :think: They both look much stronger than anyone I've seen in their age group, and certainly not like your usual figure skaters. Last I saw Alena had full, proper 6-pack abs and the legs here for instance... Well, I'll not even try to understand.

oh wow looks like i'd die in 2 seconds if she wrapped her legs around my neck i guess it's a gene thing. it's good tho. I always get so stressed seeing tiny skaters doing these crazy jumps, i'm always nervous they'd fall and break something
