2019-20 Russian Ladies' Figure Skating

[Canadianskatingfan]

Ahhhh OMG!

 

[Fluture]

Conspiracy theory: Alena had her triple axel the whole time last season, but Team Tutberidize was saving it as their secret weapon for this season. What do you guys think?

No. She was injured last season and she said that training the 3A constantly lead to micro injuries. Which is why I‘m very surprised that she‘s got it back so quickly and ready to try in competition. I just hope this means she‘s 100% healthy and recovered.

Actually, it may be a good thing if Alina's left out of European/Worlds. She has nothing left to prove, the spots for Russia seem to be in good hands with the 3A, so she could take the time to start training quads for the following season if she wants to remain competitive and go for a second olympic run.

Alina either:
a) is confident (because she believes that she can prevail with what she has now);
b) doesn't care (because she skates for fun whether she wins or not);
c) has already a surprise in the bag.
Whatever variant is on the table, I believe in Alina. We saw her super confident and happy at test skates and JO and I think she already chose her variant.

I'm more concerned with another question. Who will make the first 5T? Akatieva, Valieva or Trusova? Or together at Tutberidze's Show in Krasnodar next summer?

Kindly change the record, this one ('Alina needs to retire, Alina needs to skip a season') is too scratchy.

No one. I strongly hope so, at least. These are young, growing girls and quads already put huge pressure on the body. 5T? No way. I want them to actually be able to walk after they‘re done with competing. I guess this was a joke but still... people asking for more and more from these girls make me anxious.

We are just joking Fluture, don't worry. We aren't asking the girls to do anything. We are just all excited about what surprises Team Tutberidize may have next and making up crazy scenarios for fun.

Here is Alena's 3A

And her 3A2T

Oh my God! It's the most perfect triple axel I have ever seen. Alena made an incredibly tough jump look so smooth and easy.

There’s also a video of a 3A2T.

This is the happiest day of the season. What do you think is gonna happen now? I guess nobody saw it coming. Can she beat Alexandra?

Yessssss!

If Sasha is not flawless that is and makes a couple of mistakes then Aliona could beat her with a triple axel or two in a flawless performance.

This season just got a lot more interesting ladies and germs.

I know but I am so happy and surprised by Alena (favourite) that I want to give medals now

4Lz+3T at Anna was counted?

i have a strong feeling its this one! Alina would never want to be left in the dust.

 

[SXTN]

4Lz+3T at Anna was counted?

I counted everything that has been practised or performed this season. So for Anna one 4Lz for now.

6. Evgenia: something in the lower 60s

Actually, Evgenia‘s planned BV is 65,26 with a 3F+3T in the SP and 66,02 with a 3F+3Lo. So, definitely not enough to contend with the top spots if all are clean but not exactly in the “lower“ 60s either. Now, I don‘t know if she will skate cleanly and her lutz is a question mark, so it doesn‘t mean that these numbers will be accurate. I still do find it funny how you calculated everyone down to two decimals but couldn‘t even bother to at least look up her content.

Also, I don‘t see how this means “goodbye“ to the other ladies. Alina, for example just scored 154 to Sasha‘s 160. So, nope, no goodbye at all there. I don‘t know why some of you are like that, being so eager to count the girls out as soon as new ones hit senior. In the end it will come down to who performs the cleanest and those are going to win. Just because the 3A are currently in the top 3 spots doesn’t mean they have to stay there in actual competition.

Another one, but with a slight modification:
Alena => Alina
triple axel => 4x
last season => this season
this season => next season

Ok, I will put Evgenia's BV in.

In America and China 4Lz+3T is not needed. In Italy and Krasnoyarsk it is obligatory.

a) is confident (because she believes that she can prevail with what she has now);
b) doesn't care (because she skates for fun whether she wins or not);
c) has already a surprise in the bag.

I go with (c). And (a) is already a given,

 

[Scott512]

ISU needs to create a rule banning 5T so no gutsy girl will even try it. Didn't Alena K2 get injured this season trying quads? Figure skating is dangerous enough especially for growing girls we don't need to add any insane jumps to what's already there.

And you fluture sound concerned and you should be and we all should be. Remember when people mocked Nastya G for intimating that Anna and Sasha will get injured practicing quads non-stop? She was just giving her honest opinion because she's amazed that these tiny pre-puberty girls can practice these quadruple jumps and not get injured. These girls Sasha and Anna blow everybody's minds with their unbelievable quad jumps. Hopefully they will stay healthy because I fear that most of the girls who practice quad jumps will pay the price during their careers and down the road.

Any updates on Panekova this season?

No one. I strongly hope so, at least. These are young, growing girls and quads already put huge pressure on the body. 5T? No way. I want them to actually be able to walk after they‘re done with competing. I guess this was a joke but still... people asking for more and more from these girls make me anxious.
