[dorispulaski]

I am so glad to see Angelina with her very own thread! She is an impressive skater!

 

[sabinfire]

Yes, she is! I'd still like to update with more videos/articles soon, but I'd already been working on this for awhile and wanted to finally get it posted up.

 

[invisiblespiral]

Yay! Thank you, sabinfire!

You're welcome.

Please share to this thread if you come across anything relevant in the Latvian media!

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Great work mate!

I'm the same as you, sabinfire - Angelīna only came up on my radar this season as well. But boys did she come up on it big time!

I am sorry if I sound like a stuck record (I must have brought this up on this forum a dozen times!) But, I still cannot get over what she did at the end of January / beginning of February.

To compete in both segments of 2 different competitions in 2 different countries in the space of 6 days, with the SP for one the day after the FS for the other, is remarkable in itself. But, to do so well in both (5th in the EYOF; 7th in Europeans) is unbelievable.

This girl has definitely got what it takes to become a star. And I really hope she does!

Well done Angelina! Good start to the season, nice dress too but I wish it was less sparkly + head piece - Angelina, less is more!

 

[tulosai]

Oh wow, I never really noticed her before today but I REALLY liked her LP!! She is a very energetic and expressive skater, I will definitely have my eye out for her in future competitions!

Fairly new article. Not much new info, only that Angelina had to be off ice all June because of an ankle injury. Nice to see her healthy now!

 

[invisiblespiral]

Good luck at TEB!

 

[Sandpiper]

Good luck to Angelina at her first GP! (And it looks like she'll be in the second group too... that can only help. )

 

[sabinfire]

Euros is not far off!

Here's a pic Angelina posted today in front of Christmas tree:

http://cs630018.vk.me/v630018031/d6b2/QciXIDldmf8.jpg

It is said the first documented use of an evergreen at Christmas was the town square of Riga, Latvia.

[silverfoxes]

Here's another photo shoot she did recently. The other girl is Johanna Allik, an Estonian skater.

http://sportacentrs.com/solis_pa_kreisi/21122015-kucvalska_pirms_svetkiem_palidz_igaunu_ve

She's also competing in the Mentor Nestle Torun Cup this week.

 

[NaVi]

She had a clean SP(3Lz 3T-3T 2A) and earned a score 58.14.

I really hope to see her at Junior Worlds this year along with Diana Nikitina... I think it would be a mistake for her to take the attitude that she's a senior now and shouldn't bother with Junior Worlds. Leonova was 18 when she won Jr Worlds and Wagner was 17 when she won Bronze for the 2nd time.

There's a long interview with Angelina here, in Latvian. Per Google Translate, this is what it covers:

Already on Wednesday in the European Championship in Bratislava will also launch a 17-year-old Latvian figure skater Angelina Kučvaļska, so a couple of weeks before the race we invited him to the negotiations, which have tried to get acquainted with Latvian sports fans in the middle of yet not-so-popular sport. Angelina told about daiļslidotājas inventory, self-preparation matches and the debut of the "Grand Prix" stage in Bordeaux, as well as the great goal - membership of the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympic Winter Games.

[sabinfire]

Angelina finishes a strong #4 at Euros. :hap36: Is she the best hope to break up another Russian sweep next year?

 

[invisiblespiral]

She seems to do well at Euros, so I hope she does. I still need to watch her.

 

[berry8]

What an amazing performance tonight!!!
Made my day!!!!
Oh dear, her coach was so touched
