2018 Junior World Championships Ladies FS

Kostantinova looks so messy :\ I don't like her skating at all

To me she always defies reality with how much she performs but with how little musical connection I see in her. Even when I know it's the case I always get thrown off by it.

 

[schizoanalyst]

Her twizzles in the step are oddest things. She does them like ice dancers do in the series sometimes. It's unusual, though not necessarily bad.

How come out of all the junior Russian ladies Konstantinova ended up at the Junior Worlds?

 

[Shayuki]

Not sure how old Kostantinova is

But her movement, flow and projection are not Junior at all :thumbsup:

Same age as Sotskova.

How come out of all the junior Russian ladies Konstantinova ended up at the Junior Worlds?

By getting massive PCS.

 

[xeyra]

I did like her entry into her solo 3F.

 

[yume]

Seems like for many Koreans including Yuna, last favorites elements are 3lo and spins.

Lovely mature look and skate by Stanislava! Shades of Evgenia but if you have to model someone I'd say she's a good one!

 

[kimi492]

These jumps are messy - just seem really loose
Not understanding the GOE on them either

 

[Baron Vladimir]

No big mistakes on jumps today But L2 and L3 on spins may hurt her.

Clean skate, she seems relieved

Good skate. Maybe URs, but I think she was clean. Now off to seniors with you.

 

[Anyasnake]

Why is nobody telling her that the helicopter tano is so ugly ? She could still get those GOEs without it...

But she delivered for sure, bravo :clapper:

 

[Shayuki]

No but really, that was a good skate by her - And I think the performing might have been slightly better than usual. There were a couple of good parts, closer to the end. At least she managed a respectable showing this time around.

 

[flanker]

Someone has to stand on Stanislava's side, so it will be me I liked her.

Seems like for many Koreans including Yuna, last favorites elements are 3lo and spins.

I don't think spins. Koreans have lovely and effortless spins in general. It's the sit spin that's the problem. Most of the girls have awful sit spins, and yet they still opt for flying sit spin. Having said that, I used to love Yuna's sit spin most of the times (sans when the sit became half sit when she was going through back pain). Maybe they ha

 

[shmay]

This has been asked many times, but it's so baffling that it should be asked yet again...why are skaters like Konstantinova and Emmy Ma competing at this event when their federations have better junior skaters that they could send?

 

[jillredhand]

Go Rika!!!

 

[randomfan]

Well, Korea will not be getting 3 spots now...

 

[xeyra]

Sooo nervous. Come on, Rika, trust yourself!

 

[Shayuki]

Hm, a clean Konstantinova doesn't even get 60 PCS? But I could have sworn that she was at least a 65 PCS skater considering domestic competition differences to the others...
