2018 Rostelecom Cup Ladies Short Program

[lusk8]

The solo jump needs to be a triple.

Oh thank you!!!

Also I remember Caroline Zhang skating very poorly at SkAM a few years back and she actually managed to improve from that poor performance and post some respectable scores (and bring back her 3Lo-3Lo!).

Oh yeah, I had forgotten about that. Caroline Zhang really turned things around during those few years.

 

[WeakAnkles]

Saw that pop coming as soon as she got on the ice. Too bad. Polina is unique. One of the most lyrical and beautiful skaters right now.

Yes. Jumps and spins aside, she's so musical that she's a pleasure to watch.

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

This ladies event is very oofy so far :noshake:

 

[Danny T]

Yes. Jumps and spins aside, she's so musical that she's a pleasure to watch.

Buianova dared say she's not musical though, the nerve

 

[cathlen]

Apart from that 2L, Polina's jumps are wow - floaty, effortless, great distance. Love it.

Tech wise Polina is one of the top Russian Ladies. Too bad she's not consistent...

 

[TheBallerina]

That delayed rotation looks so impressive! Everything looked fine until that loop :sad21:

 

[moonvine]

She looks healthy and radiant to me. Her skin is glowing. Makeup and dress are lovely. I feel like I’m looking at Gracie Gold and not Gracie “Ice Princess” Gold, who wore a mannequin smile.

I agree!!!

Alina

 

[Fluture]

Eunsoo!! Alina!! Go girls!!!

 

[Ichatdelune]

She looked resigned...

And now ladies and gentlemen it's time for yours truly to start hyperventilating.

 

[Fluture]

Alina looking focused! Yasss you got this!!

 

[kevinVchicago]

Yes. Jumps and spins aside, she's so musical that she's a pleasure to watch.

Yes!

 

[TheBallerina]

Last group on the ice! Alina looks so serious and focused

 

[Metis]

Considering I just got hammered with godawful news, I could really use some good skates right now.

 

[Mrs. P]

Oh yeah, I had forgotten about that. Caroline Zhang really turned things around during those few years.

It was super cool to see, especially since it came aside Grant Hochstein's rise as well. Those two really believed in each other. It was really touching to see. I'm thrilled they're a coaching duo now.

 

[lusk8]

Go Alina!!!!

 

[Mrs. P]

Considering I just got hammered with godawful news, I could really use some good skates right now.

:hugs: I'm sorry to hear that.

 

[cathlen]

Boy I sure do love my faves and their huge lutzes, level 4 step sequences and popped axels :dance2:

Hahah, I understand perfectly, but I love Axels (and Polina has the delayed one!), I'd rather they did not popped them And now I miss Han Yan

 

[Noxchild]

Mako's nude mesh :roll5: hideous.
