That's how people choose the way of armchair technical specialists (if you can't beat them judge them)I see this triggered a lot of unhealed childhood trauma

Still would be a better show if the coaching teams were split between different competition teams more evenly.

Somehow I just knew this would be the reason!
I do like +2Lo off edge jumps more, too, though.
Visually it's nicer both because each connected jump is a different amount of rotation and also because 3Sal+2Lo is smooth and a different takeoff than just another toeloop.
I really liked Tuktamysheva's in 2015. That's the best for me

The next team event I want Adelina and Yulia to pick the teams!
The last skater chosen will probably get pissed off and skate the best!

You can be in a very good shape even with an injury. I think to most of our knowledge she hurt her right ankle on the 3A in the SP during Rostelecom and it's still bothering her. During RusNats she said she could only jump 4Lz, and it makes sense that she couldn't do 4T because the left leg is used. I saw videos of her doing 4T-eu-3S today, so it's perhaps getting better.

A father doesn't choose between his children, but I would even say he likes Anna more. She is the first "Daniil" skater, if any skater could be given that title. He's always taken her to all the competitions she competed in, is always at her KnC, and is the last one to let go of her hands before she steps on the ice, even when Eteri's present (I don't think that happens with any other Eteri skater).
We never been given any details I believe just a generic there's an injury after the Rostelecom performance, I would assume she was at least still injured at Nationals given the low number of quads. But considering she's jumping and competing in an irrelevant commercial event and in shows, she's either ridiculously reckless or is recovered. But just because you are injured doesn't mean you can't perform but generally it does inhibit your ability to heal because the injury (muscle or bone) is being put under stress of action.

Trusova's 4Lz has gotten so good. And Kamila did the best ladies 4T ever.
Rippon all jumps.
Rippon all jumps.
Results from the crazy 5 combos
1. Shcherbakova 4F+3T+3Lo+Eul+3S - 30.90
2. Trusova 4Lz+3T+Eul+3S+3T - 30.70
3. Valieva 4T+3T+3T+Eul+3S - 28.70
4. Ignatov 4T+3T+Eul+3S+2T - 25.80
5. Mozalev 4T+3T+Eul+3S+2T - 25.56
6. Tuktamysheva 3Lz+2A+2A+2A+2A - 24.98
7. Aliev 4T fall - 13.16
8. Kolyada 4T pop - 1.30
Not that it matters, and the judging was crazy, but it was a lot of fun

thanks... in good shape yes of course, but it's still a mystery to me if the ankle on her landing foot is not okej. Actually I thought she had a left hip injury(don't know where I got that from)
Whatever... I hope she's back on track

It was impressive, wasn't it?
As of today Anna, Sasha, and Kamilla look almost invincible as the next Olympic podium. Well, Kamila with just 4T-3T and 4T will be under pressure from Rika. Eteri has chosen 3A for her and it's a wise move because of SP. If Kamila stabilizes 3A she will need no new quad to beat Rika.
Anna showed today both 4Lz and 4F. Her only challenge this year can be clean Sasha with 4 quads.
Having humiliated the guys today Russian ladies showed one more time how far ahead they have moved the boundary. I know that there still will be some lamenting about "good old times", about exquisite "artistry, musicality, and skating skills" shown by usual suspects from the past. But this lamenting will gradually die down together with those who think that the grass was greener.
And I am happy to witness the revolution in ladies figure skating which started for me with "the girl in the red coat" and is running at full speed now with the new generation of truly amazing skaters.
I hope that all of them will be as impressive during the next 2 days as they were today.
