Anastasia Tarakanova

I don't mind honestly, people always have different assumptions. I'm just concerned. Trusova and Shcherbakova always stand together during group photos and they always sit together during off ice class. Kanysheva and Shabatova always post selfies, Kostyuk and Sitnitsyna always hangout together. Kostornaya is seen with Panenkova as well as Akatieva and Valieva... Nastya just seems...lonely... I'm just worried that she doesn't have friends of her own age that's all.

Wolves don't run with sheep... :dev3:
 
I don't remember if this clip was posted here or not:

But for those of us who don't understand Russian, I just saw that someone had translated what Plush was saying to her here in the comments:

larrainanastasia@ozgeodi he said that she had a good fight and stayed strong as a true warrior.He said she was great

"Сhampion! Well done! Especially in the FP. You fought. Smart girl, smart girl! You hear me? You are a fighter! She is a fighter!"
 
4T << .. ouch, must have been a pretty bad fall for it to be downgraded. I admire Nastya‘s determination to go out and try that quad but I‘m not sure whether it will be good for her to try at the JGPF... but of course since the power trio is there she might as well go all or nothing and try to get a medal.

But congrats for her win anyway! She beat Anna Tarusina here, if I‘m correct with the Russian name? That‘s impressive since Anna is a good competitor and rarely makes mistakes! :)
 
I had a funny feeling she might try and go for the 4T here. It’s a very minor competition with minimal stakes (I’m sure she would like to beat Tarusina but it wasn’t necessary and in the end she managed to do it even with the fall and << on the quad). The important thing is that she skated the rest of her program clean despite the fall and the fact that she has been able to move her Euler Salch combo into the what I assume is meant to be the 2nd half. Interestingly the 3Lz+3T is still the first jumping pass ... apparently that combo is more difficult for her than a quad attempt!

Also the << sign doesn’t necessarily mean it was a bad fall... this panel seems to have been quite downgrade happy if you look at the number of downgrades they handed out across the competition as opposed to ur calls. Obviously it wasn’t great here but I would imagine she has landed it cleanish in training if she decided to attempt in in comp. She has a month and a half until JGPF so this is probably the moment to start trying it in comp if she wants to be able to put it in her free skate there.
