Zhenya should really switch to a 3Lo until the 3Lz edge is fixed.
And sheesh, StSq3 for her, she of all people can definitely hit a 4...
Evgenia looked so nervous. Watching her performance, I wondered if she understood the lyrics at all. Bradie's interpretation was much more convincing, yet she received 8.00 for IN while Evgenia did 8.75. :noshake:
Well, it doesn't really matter if she was focused or nervous, she couldn't sell the program. It's not negativity, it's just commenting what was shown on the ice.Wow, such negativity here. I am at the competition and I thought both Bradie and Zhenya were wonderful. Bradie is a bit further along in her programs, but for the record, Zhenya looked focused not nervous to me.

I think it's maybe fair judging, a bit. I say a bit because she shouldn't have been first if she had got the calls she deserved. But in this competition, the judging of her program is more accurate, even if the score is too high for what she put on the ice.Zhenya was not at her best yesterday considering how good this program looked at the test skates, it's obvious she can do better than this. Scores are surprising, i'm used to seeing her get 75+ even with mistakes. Is it a new scoring system thing? Anyway, since she's on a journey to improving, maybe this is good for her! she'll be happy seeing her scores go up as her skating improves and she does not seem as nervous as she usually is waiting for the scores even tho this was her lowest score in like forever. there are obviously less transitions which i'm fine with, for this kind of program, i don't think there's any need to have a ton of them. I expect them to add more later tho. Lutz did not get an E, 3T was obviously UR yet did not get a call and her PCS score was the highest so i don't think it means she's no longer in the judges favors. It's probably just a new system thing!
I guess I would disagree, but we all see things differently.
