I just watched the Free skate fully without my stream crashing all the time! Wuhu. I really love how much fun Alina had during the program. She was so relaxed. The energy during the step sequence is addicting! Great job!

Yeah she had a tough saison last year and it’s great to see her more at ease

 

[Seruleane]

Alina's FS is fabulous! I love it, and love to see her having fun. I just hope she can hold the Ina Bauer for longer- I know she can do it, as we saw a beautiful Ina Bauer during her Don Quixote FS. Anyway, I love this program for her, and can't wait to see it in its final version with the costume and everything. We are so spoiled with all these wonderful Russian ladies!

Guys I am starting to freek out. Why Eteri did downgrade the BV od Alina free program? combo 2a 3 T v 3 Lz 3 T? and why 2 combos are in the first part? or this is planned move to add 4F later in the season? maybe in the place of 3l 3 Lo and the move the combo after second 3l - now this 3L has this crazy transition

according to insiders this set is intended only for test skates, so we expect a surprise

The only *downgrade* is that she had 2 combos in bonus last year, now it's one. It's a similar jump layout to her Olympic one, except back then all jumps were in bonus zone.
Don't freak out, point-wise it's not a downgrade, she didn't lose almost anything and still has higher BV (by 1+point) compared to other girls without quads.
She said she wanted to focus on performance and was not planning to up her content THIS season, and I support that decision.
She doesn't need to rush anything right now, she still could win with triples, remember worlds that were won with 14 points to spare!
It's wiser to make those triples even better, she was going through puberty just last year, remember?
Work on PCS this season and think about quads next season.

I totally understand . But the aim is to go to the worlds - and at russian nationals there is Trusova with 3 quads; and Anna with 1 q. and Liza with two 3a.
but to be clear - i love the free program and i think that pcs and goes should get rocket level .

Is this offset by the GOE on the 2A-3T? Will it now be a factor on a triple jump and not the double (where as if it were the solo 2A, it's be factored as a double and the 3Lz already has the factor of a triple)? I'm not sure as I don't know if I have a full understanding of how it works - if someone wants to step in.

yeah, putting 3T in one end or the other makes little to no difference, maybe even GOE gain, but last year she had Lz-Lo in the bonus zone so it was worth slightly more I believe.
Anyway, the changes have little to no impact on BV, it's higher than that of all other girls, and Alina will get GOEs and PCS, so I'm pretty calm =)

Hi, is anyone able to translate Alina's interview after test skates?

 

[Lechat]

I totally understand . But the aim is to go to the worlds - and at russian nationals there is Trusova with 3 quads; and Anna with 1 q. and Liza with two 3a.

Relax, it’s the start of the saison and it’s only a test event. As for worlds, like I said in another thread, there’s still the WTT so 5 different skaters can have a spot and not only 3. I don’t mind to see Alina at WTT since she already won the individual title and I think her goal is another olympic.

Anyways, I’m glad to see her confident and smiling unlike last year where she was crying after her free.

 

[Sensation]

I love her FS. It's amazing to see her out there improving each season after accomplishing so much already.

 

[Lechat]

Both Alina’s programs were beautiful and I particularly enjoy the music for the free. Honestly Cleopatra fits Alina more than Carmen but she was struggling last year like her character so it was also a good choice.

I’m glad that she seems more confident and that smile was like the sun

This year we have queen Cleopatra and the three princesses. which princesses will succeed her ?

 

[NaVi]

Is Zagitova's step sequence in her LP too close to the middle of the rink? A step sequence is suppose to go from one side of the rink to the other. I remember Satoko Miyahara getting deducted for that once.

 

[Katie0906]

Alina is more calm and relax now because she knows rusfed wont rely on her alone she got plenty of back up now like the addition of 3A so if ever she got bad days at ice her team mates can fill the gaps, no need for her to prove shes the best of the best, even legend like serena and venus williams got beaten by teenagers.
