Yes, I hope she can carry that clean practice over to the LP!
It's going to be very tough to skate last, but hopefully she can remember how much fun she had in Finlandia when she skated last! :yes:
GOOO ALIONA GOOOO!!!

I loved the generous little gesture Aliona made when she invited Anna and Sasha to stand with her on the highest spot on podium for the anthem. Plus, I shall be looking for a fan cam of the award ceremony, because I need to see the lap of honour, with her and Anna dancing to the music.

The gesture of a gracious winner, but my best moment was when she had Anna (who was barely blocking her tears) to start dancing on the podium with her.

I'm glad that Alena still have some chances for Worlds Gold medal, even though it's worrying how close Alena and Anna are in PCS now, it was Alena's advantage, however, it was not her best performance (same in SP) if she will at her best, I think gap can get bigger. But technically she will have to be perfect. I'm so glad she won though, I hope she will enjoy it and rest <3

YES!! That was SOOO sweet to see! :yes:
Yeah, I know that there are those people who think that Aliona is some kind of diva
but it's moments like these that show how much respect and affection she has for her teammates! :agree: :luv17:I also liked how she got Anna to dance with her on the podium--and I'm eagerly awaiting video of them dancing during the victory lap! :yes:
Awww, and little Amilia is transfixed by Aliona again!
Did you all see Aljona Savchenko's story yesterday? It seems like Amilia is quite a fan of our vampire angel! :luv17:

Eteri Georgiyevna as a perfectionist, likely won't be happy with any of the performances of her pupils today.
I am slightly confused, this moment in the process of preparation for the World Championships would have the athetes at the peak of their periodisation cycle. But perhaps NY-Xmas break with no training did indeed leave an effect on these still young athletes?
They do need a period of recovery and relaxation after the very stressful GP series and National Championships.
By the time of March, the physical and mental strength of the skaters should be fully restored.
Congratulations to Axel Angel Alyona. One fall, but no calls saved her today.
Yeah, well we all know that Aliona is a perfectionist. I'm sure she was really upset about falling on that 3Lz. :yes:
I'm not exactly sure what happened, but she took a very different angle/approach going into the 3Lz than she usually does--usually she's traveling along the midline of the rink, not cutting across sideways, so I have to say I wasn't surprised that she fell. :yes:
It was going SO WELL before that though!!
I'm sure that's not the performance Aliona wanted to give, but it's ok. Like I said yesterday, I am hoping she saves her perfect performances for Worlds! :yes:
I have to say, I'm kind of surprised by how this competition went down. You all know that I love Aliona most of all, but I really thought it would be Sasha's turn to win!
Of course I'm thrilled that Aliona won Euros :hap57: but I want her to win Worlds most of all, and now she's going to go into Worlds as a favorite. I hope that doesn't put too much pressure on her.
But perhaps I'm getting ahead of myself. Most of all, I want her to MAKE IT to Worlds, so PLEASE STAY HEALTHY AND INJURY-FREE, Aliona!!

Something wrong with the ice? First time in my life I watch the whole event, usually I have seen only 12 best. (back in the old days finnish TV showed only the potential medal contestants) Quite of few contestants of the first two groups spent half of the time sitting on the ice. Estonian girl who just stayed standing the whole FP rated quite high. Finnish Peltonen (who is IMO not very special at all) fell on ice. Scherbakova, Trusova also.
An then... was she on her own Aliona-class! Yes, definitely. Hey, but fell in a easy jump for her. Finnish commentator said that Aliona looked a little bit astounded because it was so unfamiliar for her. And that commentator don't like "too young" skaters. But when it comes to skating, Alena is by far the best. Now I realize it better when I saw the whole game.
