Alina Zagitova

[Hannah555]

I wonder why such a big team?
And when will they leave for France?
I guess today or tomorrow?

Eteri and girls were back to Moscow only yesterday so I don't think their flight will be today.

Probably tomorrow.

Good luck to Alina! I'm sure she can bring two clean skates because now Eteri and Daniil both will be by her side. And I hope that she will be less nervous because it's her second GP already.

Yeees, hope she' ll be clean because again the competition will be harsh.
She has to face Osmond on Edith Piaf in France...:noshake:

Hopefully in France they'll realize how wailing that song is and how annoying it gets...
And give extra points to Alina!

Side note: must be nice to be Eteri! She gets to travel a ton.

The team will really big in Nagoya: coaches and up to 7 girls (I hope to see "The Magnificent Seven" there).

There also will be Erokhov, so 7+1. Really overloaded event for Eteri's team. I want to see Eteri with each of her girls in K&C at JGPF/GPF, but it won't happen. :sad4:

Don't underestimate the Tsarina Tutberidze!

1. I don't watch men
2. I don't know movie "The Magnificent Seven + 1"

Yes!!! Must be wonderful

Just saw that Alina's scheduled to skate in the first group Are these starting orders based on world standings?
I hope Alina skates perfectly and gets over a deserved 73+ with a clean skate. She deserves it imo.

Yep, world standings. And since Alina stayed in juniors just for one year, that hurts her a bit, since 2015-16 results count.

Is there any way to see tomorrow's event live on the Internet?

I really don't think her SP is working for her unless she's having a hard time dealing with the nerves and pressure (which must be huge right now) I'm crossing my fingers that she has a brilliant free skate tomorrow!

 

[tsangpogorge]

The SP is a definite cause for concern, how high does she have to finish to make the GP finals?

 

[icetug]

I think that 3rd is enough to feel safe (26 pts); but 4th - it will depend on other skaters place and score.

 

[Spirals for Miles]

4th. Then she'll get 24 points and beat Wakaba and Maria on the tiebreaker, provided Maria is third.
If Maria is 1st then the final is Medvedeva, Kostner, Polina?, Maria, Alina, and someone else (Wakaba? Mai? Kaetlyn probably)
If Maria is second and Kaetlyn is first then Medvedeva, Osmond, Polina?, Maria, Alina, and Kostner
If Maria is second and Alina is first, then Medvedeva, Alina, Osmond, Maria, Kostner, and Polina?
If Maria is second and Mai is first, then Medvedeva, Osmond, Kostner, Maria, Mai, and Alina (no Polina....)

If Alina is first, she's in.
If Alina is second, she's in.
If Alina is third, she is nearly certain to be in.

If Kaetlyn is first, Maria second, and Alina third, then the final will be Medvedeva, Osmond, Kostner, Maria, Alina, and Polina or Wakaba
If Kaetlyn is second, then Medvedeva, Osmond, Kostner, Zagitova, Sotskova, and Polina most likely.
If Kaetlyn is third, then Medvedeva, Osmond, Kostner, Zagitova, Sotskova, and Polina most likely.

If Mai is first, the Medvedeva, Osmond, Kostner, Mai, Alina, and Maria/Polina
If Mai is second or lower, she will not be in.

Let me know if this is wrong.

Polina T is still to skate at SA, and she and Ashley both have bronzes and are fighting for GPF spot.

I’m praying yes. The SP is working I just think she may be feeling the pressure. They are such uncharacteristic mistakes.

Polina T is still to skate at SA, and she and Ashley both have bronzes and are fighting for GPF spot.

but only one of them could beat Alina if they'll be 1 and 2 at Skate America and Alina will be 4th in France.
So if Alina will be 4 th here we'll have Med, Kostner, Osmond, Sostkova (if the standing stays as now), Polina/Ashley and Zagitova.
Zagi can be 4th and in only if Mai won't win this.
If Mai wins this and Zagi is 4th it will depend on the scores.

I don't think Mai will win this. She'll probably end up on the podium, though.
And Zagitova has a high GP score from CoC and will probably do all right here too.
