So far there's no such competition.
If shes already doing a 3-3Lo I cant imagine how we wouldnt see her compete next seasonHopefully, her recovery keeps on progressing well during the off-season and we'll be able to see her return to competition next season.
Jumps are not the only thing needed for competing. With her injury having been a shoulder injury, spins where you have to use the right arm for difficult variations to achieve level features are a potential concern to me (particularly layback and camel spins, as well as combination spins).
Hm fair point about the spins but I've seen her do them at Plushenko shows recently and she was using her right arm fine, holding her leg to a full 180deg upright spin for example. Even if she cant use it for some super advanced things (cant imagine what those would be) I dont see why she would drop the whole season over it; wouldnt make sense at all.
Me too!! I love this combo. I’m hoping with them reducing the jump combos from three to two, that this jump combo will be seen more often.
I- and Y-spins don't require much shoulder rotation, so they should be fine, but I'm thinking more of donut spins for example. With level features probably changing anyway, not using shoulder flexibility might not be an issue either (and spin levels will be a bit all over the place for many skaters initially).
That's great news! Future World and Olympic champion from Kazakhstan. Or not, since she'll probably be hosed on PCS like Gubanova.
She has a stable 3A and 4T, I think she might have some other ultra-c as well. I think world title is likely in any case.
*an unstable 3A and 4S
She is with Plushenko now, and training with Trusova. I am hopeful her jumps will be good.
A skater's base technique is not going to change in a few months of training under a new coach, not at this or a later age. Just think of how long Zhenya was with Orser and by which degree her technique changed, or for how long some skaters have tried to fix edge issues.
Dont know about the 4T for sure but her 3A looks pretty good she lands it multiple times in a row and with combo. I dont think its under rotated either. It looks light and totally unlabored. Plushenko is doing a good job and all that in off season and she wasnt even sure if she would compete. I think therefore its looking really good for her.
I disagree about the jumps. She was one of my favourite Junior girls. Her best moment was when she qualified for Junior Worlds but covid stopped that. Her last year competing domestically was all over the place. Good at the GP events. But, horrible at Nationals and Russian Cup due to inconsistency on the jumping elements. This is the reason why Russia is okay with this release. I think she is one to watch out for though…maybe, she saw her bad results as an opportunity to get off National team so she can switch nationality.
Sofia is very good at "concealing" under rotations and has been since for a while. I'm pretty sure I previously commented about how she (and some others, nationally and internationally) are dependent on the strictness of the technical panel, because their scores could end up varying significantly depending on tech calls. Obviously, she is not doing this consciously, it's just the result of her previous coaching.
), so we'll have to wait and see how she deals with the situation next season.
), so as long as she lands it and it isn't clearly a downgrade, she has more than enough chances to not get calls. (Might actually be a good idea after all to not do the JGP, because they've been more strict on the technical side in recent years, and once you have the reputation of UR your jumps, it can stick around like a curse.
