Well, they were able to defame even her yesterday's skate. You can't count those people have something like honesty :) I would like to promise I will not read youtube comments, but somehhow that is impossible to fulfill :)

All those "experts" out there. (actually only a few - but very vocal and very persistant)
Once again, though - all talk, no action.

Much easier to whine and insult someone in youtube comments than to study to be a judge at "ISU Judging School".

LAME!!!!
 
First of all let me get this out of the way: Alina is amazing!!

She fought for it like the champ she is and came out alive and well on the other side.

I didn’t see the UR watching live and they didn’t retract from the performance at all. Her 3F is becoming an amazing jump for her so when she checked out before the final turn it was a bit unexpected but she handled it well and rode the bus back to the garage.

Today was probably as tense as yesterday for her but she is getting better at handling the pressure.

I’m glad she’s not the proud owner of a poker face, you could see at the end of her skate that it was not the clean ride she wanted to perform but she managed well. And Alina “managing” is still top of the field. Her second GP last season she had her lowest SP score, now she’s not even in that territory. It’s not a record break or a season’s best but it was way better than her first GP, and the SP was outstanding.

I want her to enjoy today, have fun tomorrow and celebrate her double golden ticket to the GPFinal. Tomorrow is Lara Croft day!!

Alina, you are always the highlight of any event and your skates make my day.

You are out ambassador of Masaru girl!! When talent works this hard nothing will stand in its way.

Even Nathan Chen came over fresh of a plane to watch the ladies FS, now that’s having a great competition right there.
 
Hi Lusk8!

Yes - she fought tooth and nail in the 2nd half. She's a survivor! :rock:

I like that she wears her emotions on her face too. Keeping it real.

Nathan Chen was there????!!!!

I was so happy for her and how she fought for it, like a true champ.

Yup Nathan was there, zoom in on his neck to see his guest pass, several fans took his picture and it was during the Ladies FS

Yup he sure did!! I’m glad he is no longer Samson.

He will be training in Moscow before IdF, reportedly at CSKA. Ralph mentioned the training plans before but not the training venue.

Happy for him, getting some Russian magic on, that’s a new training site for him.

Hope he gets to meet Masaru, he’s got such a fun disposition and is such a positive guy, great friend for Alina.

Totally agree! Nathan seems a great, pleasant person, so I think he and Masaru will get along pretty well :luv17:

Lipnitskaya also is Olympic Champion and qualify for GP Final in 2014–15 season
 
Man, I bet she's been working hard with Zheleznyakov on her presentation and dance skills. She stayed in role from the beginning to the very end. I totally see why they let her to do Carmen this season.
