2018-19 Russian Ladies' figure skating

You guys at least have competitions in your continent :bang:

So, I was re-watching Gubanova. The SP does seem less worse the more I watch it, which I guess is something. Am I the only one who feels she should work on her -Loop combination? For me, it seems most of her problems with jumps are related to tacking a -3T or -2T to the end of a combo. I have the impression that she takes too long to get her free leg to pick in the ice, thus losing speed.

Eh, I don't know. My knowledge is really limited to waltz jumps, the rest is all assumptions. I'm just not ready to give up on Gubanova, yet.

She used to do 3ltz-3lo before, she had to change with lutz-toe because two years ago 3lo was a required solo jump in the SP in juniors.

The SP is fine if they change the choreography for the steps sequence (and change the costume, the orange parts are a bit distracting): too much flailing and too much time wasted on that and not on turns and edges, so she can't get high points (it was only lvl 2 in fact, yikes)

I think Dudakov went with Yulia too and not Eteri.

She said in the press conference / interview that Eteri was no longer going to competitions with her during the last 6-8 months, that was the biggest reason why she left, she needed a more active coach.

Now, in fairness it's worth pointing out that Yulia was Eteri's favourite pupil, she used to travel with her at every competition, other skaters didn't have that privilege. (Like Alina probably spent more time with Daniil than with Eteri)
 
Zagitova's father was a undersized minor league hockey player and Trusova's father is a "master of sports" in judo and sambo which are sports with weight classes. If I was the Russian fed(or any fed) I would start targeted marketing of figure skating towards good male athletes under 5'10(especially thin ones in sports where power matters) and tell them their daughters might have a better shot than average of having success in figure skating.

Do you really think Russia needs to take extra steps to recruit more female skaters? For what? They should focus on recruiting more male talent.
 
I'm always surprised to see some users in this thread when they obviously don't even like the russian girls at all. :scratch2:

Everybody on my feed hates Sasha's FS dress but i like it, at least more than the SP one. The Fifth Element is a crazy movie, very colorful and the outfits people wear in that movie really are something. So i'm not surprised her costume is just as crazy. I think it's cute.

not true. She never said that.
Please, check your facts before you write. :noshake:
October 9 – 11, 2015, CS Finlandia Trophy 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjvY2UoYU5M
October 23 – 25, 2015, Skate America 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdVKMH6qEE0
The one time Eteri did not go to the competition with her was at Trophée de France 2015 (November 13 – 15). when she herself asked that through RusFed. by that time Yulia had already prepared to leave the group right after that. On 18 November 2015, it was officially announced.

OMG I LOVE IT.

I hope she goes with nude tights for the actual performance and that she's just wearing leggings for the practice. The darker tights cut off any sort of line her body could have (at least it seems to me based on this one photo). But the actual dress is AMAZING.

ETA: Looking at it again, it looks like the dark blue tights/leggings are part of the costume. Will wait to see what it looks like from all angles. But seriously, that top half is unique and stunning and totally fits The Fifth Element.
 
I really do find it cute too! i was just watching the fifth element the other day and remembered how crazy & colorful the fashion is in that movie. I expected a much uglier costume than this but tbh it fits the theme. Everybody is entitled to like or dislike it tho but for me it's a :thumbsup:
