Yes, Anna was scored unfairly and people have the right to express their surprise. People were surprised with Yuzu's scores too. I don't see your point.

It was her first senior international competition and unlike Trusova and Kostornaia she only competed 1 season internationally as a junior due to her leg injury. I expect she'll get more settled down with her next competition; there was more of an ease about her in the FS than the SP at Lombardia.
When I first read the award for components that was presented to Anna I saw the little line at the bottom about "Anna is the kind of person that no one will never forget"; I thought - well that's polite considering its her first senior international competition...then I realized they were talking about Anna Grandolfi

Does anyone know if there is a start list for the first Cup of Russia stage yet? Its set to start in three days, but I haven't been able to find one.
Is it in three days!!! OMG! I didn't know. Yes, the Russian Cup will be a bloodbath this year (as always). I wanna know how my team of Gubanova, Nugumanova and Talalaikina are doing. And i hope Tarusina is in there too.

She didn’t have the wrong edge, but the 4L was <, no?
I did not agree with the call in the short though, that was crazy and came out of nowhere but they didn’t give us a close up replay. Has anyone tried to zoom to see if it was a fair call? Certainly far more egregious < have gone uncalled on the JGP.

You are talking about the 3L+3Lo right? Someone has a SS and it wasn’t actually UR?
I think Flanker meant the 4Lz

One can only surmise that they are in the Witness Protection Program.
There's never any news on any of them. I mean nastya for instance hasn't had any good news since when... JPG Final in 2016? 
hopefully she and the others are in good form and will give good performances whenever they start their seasons. I sure hope it's in September. Of this year.Don't get me wrong. The debate if it was UR or not is still up, I think. But some people are blurring it all with edge thingys.

Somehow though Scott. I hope they get the love and support we are giving them on this thread. Go Gubanova:luv17: Go Nugumanova:luv17: Go Talalaikina:luv17: Go Tarusina:luv17:

Amen!
Can we let the skaters and coaches have their early skates be what they were intended to be - trial runs to try out costumes, concepts, element layouts while gradually getting back into competitive shape after hopefully a bit of a rest?!
I fully expect a number of changes in costumes as heaviness of fabric, freedom of movement, look on the ice, and overall concept are assessed. Same for reception of concepts no layouts by judges and public and the skater the self.
Many times in the past excellent skaters would look not quite ready in a new season only to make adjustments as the season went on and end up on the podium.
I rather enjoy watching how the whole process evolves and am impressed many times as skaters make adjustments so quickly especially when it happens on the Grand Prix series.
Chill people!

Yeah honestly I really don’t care that it wasn’t called. It really seems to me that the ISU has been trending more lenient on URs as of late. If you cannot see it in real time and the jump is otherwise beautiful (no shakiness or tightness on the landing) then they will leave it be. My main issue is that the same standard is applied to everyone. So therefore I don’t want to hear anything about Alysa next week. Both Anna and Alysa are lovely skaters with fantastic quad lutzes landed with a straight back and beautiful running edge.
On that same note, I find the < from the short program absolutely unfair and I was very upset when I saw that protocol. It was a beautiful 3L+3Lo and she performed it the same was she always has. You cannot say that was < but some of the calls we’ve been seeing on the JGP are fine.
I don’t know if it has been pointed out but that panel was odd in general. The scores they were giving were all over the map. Like you’d see -3 and 1 on the same element. They were ridiculous with Young You’s 3A. The one in the short wasn’t the best but she held that edge long enough, I was thinking 0 but they give -2 and -3? Then in the free she steps out but stayed upright and they’re giving her all -3 and -4. Like that’s what you give someone when then flip out and put their hands down. Someone even hit -5. Way to hit the wrong button there slick.
They were also very stingy with GOE on Liza’s 3As. The second one in her free skate looked fine to me - other panels would and have given a similarly performed 3A +2, 3, and 4. They also went really hard on her overrotation - other panels have been more lenient with this in the past. I don’t think we can necessarily count on it being the same way at Skate America.
The right girl won and I am truly happy for Anna, but what an oddly scored event.

Again it's you who brings zhenyas name into it, again I never even thought about zhenya when writing this comment, just because I am a zhenya fan doesn't mean everything i say or write hassoemthing to do with her. Funny thing when we zhenya fans say anything that is not glowing positive about another skater manly if it pertains to a skater from a certain group than you are quick to call us haters, or let loose that it has to do with zhenya. While if it was the other way around we should not even dare to defends a certain skate.r So yes here we can clearly see the double standard. But well it doesn't matter since it was never my intention to bring zhenyas name in here cause I have zhenyas fan thread for that .
Totally agree. It was crazy!! I can't figure out what the judges were thinking, and it was completely different SP vs FS. I thought for a while they had changed the judges between the two skates.
But we mustn't forget that this was just a 'B' Challenger event. Hopefully the judges will be more sensible and professional at the GP...

Honestly, pretty much all the quads that have been ratified for ladies with the exception of Valieva's 4T and , on occasionally, Sasha's 4T have been a bit UR. I think it is fine to complain about the lack of calls but I hope we don't see the same amount of hate that Alysa got, again. For her, or for any of the other young ladies. Was Anna's quad UR..yes, it was but it was a great attempt. Very brave of her to go for it when she kept falling on it in practice. These tiny ladies are very brave.
Do you really think so? I feared it was under but when I saw the replays I thought it was just inside. The criteria for UR is still more than 90 degrees, no?
