What are they doing? Cutting the ice? Stream has stopped.

 

[Azikin]

Yikes Lena. Saved the lutz, but not the spin.

I didn't expecte it but I'm afraid Plushenko's influence is starting to show even this early...

Nothing to do with Plushenko, she's had issues with this spin multiple times during the whole season.

Ut oh. Wonder if one of the Social Justice Warriors from Reddit got it pulled.

And with nerves in the SP in general

 

[Arwen17]

wheeew! stream is back up! was worried there for a second.

 

[katymay]

Phew. Back

 

[Jumping_Bean]

And with nerves in the SP in general

Honestly, I don't think it was a good choice for her to keep both programs for a second season, especially the Short.
She seems like a skater who needs to be kept on her toes a bit to not get nervous, when she's too comfortable she starts to overthink.

Nice performance by Lezina. I don't think I've seen her before.

 

[katymay]

Growth spurt alert for Alena. Just in the past month.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Another very talented and strong but nervy girl

I wonder if clean Agata has a chance to win the segment.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Nobody wants to beat Nadezhda in the Short?

I'd have Liza or Riana in first, tbh. It's not like their spins don't deserve the bonus. Sure, the judges found something, but after all, Nadya had a noticeable mistake, and it's also known she has Flutz.

I assume the main reason she kept the programs is because she had a late start to the season due to having surgery (?). Probably just wasn't enough time for her to learn new ones

Honestly, I don't even think bonuses should be given at competitions that are used for the selection of the National team.
They don't use them at the Junior or Senior level, so there's no reason to use them at the Novice level either.

At the end of the day, if you are a good jumper or spinner, you'll already be rewarded in BV and GOE, no need for extra bonuses.

True, that would have probably been an issue. Still, I think it would have been better to change at least one of the programs, better the Short (as it's the shorter one of the programs), even if it would have meant delaying the start of the season even more (or maybe doing less competitions within a few weeks right after returning from injury, but who am I to suggest that).

 

[Skating91]

Too bad about Elena's small error at the end

 

[Skating91]

God, what a jerk Plushenko is eyeballing the score.

He probably just has bad eyes and is too vain and conceited to wear glasses
