2021 Russian Junior Nationals Day 2

Who else thinks she's skating injured esp after that 3A fall yesterday? Her R ankle looked so shaky on each landing like she was barely holing on. Reminded me of Sasha in Rostelecom FS.
Perhaps, but I think it might just be that she jumps too high for her muscular strength at this time. Girls her age don't have a lot of natural muscle. She needs time to get the core strength and leg strength to hold those landings better. (which is a concern for all skaters at this age.... why quads are perhaps not ideal at this age / the same applies for the boys)
 
I've read an interview with her that she practically trains herself because there are no coaches where she lives. She attends training camps a few times and tries to remember the advice she gets there. Her mother helps but she's not a coach and doesn't have knowledge on the technical side. Honestly, at her age, this is so brave and she is still SO good, imagine what she could do with proper, consistent coaching.
