Maria DAVAI!!!

 

[Fluture]

Talalaikina!! Good luck!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Ok wake us up Maria T!

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Go Hip, Maria!

Chin chin!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Hip Hip Chin Chin used to be my ringtone...

 

[flanker]

Just when I though she will go clean

Anya said that she is happy with her performance because she is still not 100% recovered and definitely feels that. The interviewer asked whether she will have enough energy for the free skate, she said “we should always hope”, which was said in a joking manner but still a bit scary.

To offer correction: she said “Of course!” first, and then joked it off by saying “the main thing is to believe!”. She continued by saying that they’ll try (to the max) to condition in order to peak and have everything done in the FS.

Talalakina doing great so far

until fall on loop

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Cursed, I say!

 

[Jontor]

Oh no! Down on the Loop. It was going so well...

 

[Fluture]

Argh that loop!!! I also prefer the FS infinitely more to this SP. But she‘s such a fun skater, never boring to watch. But that fall will cost her.

 

[Beckaboomer]

Maria is energetic and charming, it’s too bad about the fall.

Thank you for calming me down a little

She needs to do more than skate straight into the jumps to get better GOEs.

I get that, but her jump technique is just so good that I like her jumps more even without transitions than someone(s) who do a crap ton of transitions, take off on the wrong edge, and pre rotate. I do think that to fully utilize her points Liza T definitely needs more transitions though...

 

[Jontor]

I just love Maria! She has a special style.

She got level 4s on steps and spins! I don't think that ever happened before.

Darn that Loop...

 

[Vandevska]

Too bad for the 3Lo, Talalaikina has very good performing abilities, very nice to watch.

 

[Ichatdelune]

She's fun, but her witchy FS is better than her SP. She did manage to partially wake me up

 

[bigsisjiejie]

All Hip Hip Chin Chin's pale next to Ashley Wagner's. Got to have the right personality (and choreo) to pull off this music. Don't think this skater really has it, though she's a very good skater.

 

[flanker]

Maria looks happy with her skate and in a good mood

 

[snowflake]

Sad for her... I like her performance a lot
