She is as happy as a clam, she was able to have Daniil, she can talk to Eteri, the jumps seem good and she is also getting a lot of attention.

I'm glad to see that Adelia was in great shape during training. Good luck to her!
I'm eagerly awaiting 6:55 p.m. here in Italy to watch her while I'm on the train home from work

I hope Petrosyan skates well today and that whatever outcome of this competition is, the overall reception is positive.

Congratulations to Petrosian on a solid skate and backloaded combo. Depending on how the Japanese and the Americans skate, that should place her in the top of the penultimate group or top 6 if one of them blinks. But I assume top 6 will score 75+

That was lower than I hoped. 72.79 won't get Adelia in the final six in that last group unless a couple girls make big mistakes. That's possible but not likely. But there's no guarantee that Isabeau is going to get over 72.79. and if another girl struggles a bit Petro could find herself in the final group.

All in all she had a good short program. I only wish she still had her 3A like she did at nationals she probably would have scored three points higher and almost certainly been in the final group.

But more important than continuing the Russian ladies figure skating dynasty is I hope Adelia is well received all the way around.

Why didn't she go for 3A?

 

[lariko]

Too risky. If she falls on it, it's at the start, errors build up, she can be out of FS. This Olympics was all about FS win in all the disciplines. So far we only know of 2 skaters willing to risk 3A.

 

[Scott512]

Why didn't she go for 3A?

Two reasons it's kind of risky I guess and flanker says Adelia had injury pain after Nationals where Adelia hit that triple axle.

I sure wish she had it today it probably would have put her in the final grouping for the lp. She won't win the Olympics from the second to last group. But Adelia did well today I just wish her score was a bit higher but skating second in the first group no chance of that.

I hope this good short program gives Adelia confidence for the lp. Because she's going to have to be flawless and daring.

She already advanced into the final flight. She is doing fine.

And here is Amber Glenn delivering an explanation for anyone interested why Adelia Petrosian did not include 3A in her SP in Olympics.

 

[flanker]

Why didn't she go for 3A?

Not stable enough. After new year Adeliia's injury renewed, she suffered from pain and had to interrupt training for a while. She had enough time to stabilize 4T or 3A but not both. So they rather decided for 4T. As they say SP won't win the competition but can lose it.
