Anna Shcherbakova

Zhenya was asked about Anna's RusNats Free Skate during her new interview

"About Anna Shcherbakova and other skaters: "She was just like a super-woman, a superhero at these competitions."

OC: What were your emotions from the Russian Championship? This is the first championship in which you did not participate, and you won it more than once. What was it like to be in the spectator stands when the other girls competed?

EM:
Yes, I arrived in Chelyabinsk a little beforehand before the demonstration at which I was supposed to perform. And I was actually impressed. Everyone knows that Anna (Shcherbakova - approx. OC) had many health problems. And she's incredible, of course. I'm proud for her. I have known her since I was six. And she was so tiny. Yes, she is still tiny, although she has grown. I am very happy for Anya.

OC: After Anna finished her free skate, it seems that everyone in the arena was crying or were close to it. How did you feel after her release? Especially considering that you are training together again.

EM:
This is the case. Not everyone knew about her health before the Russian Championship. And I'm certainly not the kind of person who should talk about this now. But I can say that everyone (coaches) was in tears, because they knew how difficult it was all for her. And yes, they were tears of joy, because she came out of all these troubles as a winner. She was just like a super woman, a superhero in this competition."
 
Look at this video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q16lUL-3EBE&list=LL&index=45 I mean Daniil's reaction to Anna's skating. It seems to me it was her first big victory Russian National for young age. 5 yeas ago but he is still keeping to take care about her:)

Great find! I don't recall seeing this costume before, though the music is familiar. Anna is showing her trademark moves and delicacy and is sliding particularly well here.

Nice 3-3-2 -Lo (or 3-2-2 -Lo) at 1.45. You can see where Alina and Alexandra learnt theirs from! Just kidding. :biggrin: Or perhaps not.

:love:
 
Just browsing the fanfest randomly this comment catched my attention:

Anna didn't have the best runthrough today. Fell on 4F and the second 4Lz as well. Coaches were not pleased by the looks on their faces.
Hope she gets it together by evening!

When was it written? During 2021 nationals? It would fit, right?

But no, it was a year earlier, 2020 nationals. It seems to be a pattern with Anna, troublesome trainings followed by superb delivery when it really matters.

Hm. So two punctual events result in a scheme. Interesting.

I had this opinion about Anna already before the 2021 Nationals. There are more examples than these two (but I'm not gonna start digging them up, because I have other things to do). I see her as a great competitor, who should not be ruled out of anything easily.

2019 Skate America for instance, Tara and co. mentioned they were watching her during trainings before and she had troubles to land her quads, but then at the competition she delivered two clean quad Lutzes.

Other advice: don't get provoked by a troll :)

Are we honest. One can surely find as much "evidence" of this alleged pattern over the years as one can find evidence against it. By the way, there is a saying that is used by all people who have a performance of any kind that is preceded by rehearsals: "If the rehearsal is bad, the performance is good and vice versa." Some call it patterns, I call it superstition or selective perception.

I've noticed this pattern with Anna in the past as well. When I've felt worried due to a poor warmup, she's delivered.

And I've noticed that when I go out of the house with an umbrella, it doesn't rain afterwards. This is the exact same type of pattern.

When I look out the window and see it rains, I take an umbrella. And it still rains. If I look out the window and see it doesn't rain, I don't take an umbrella. And it doesn't rain. I wouldn't just randomly decide to take an umbrella just for fun.

Do you have some reason to be posting in Anna's fanfest, anyway?

There's probably no reason, but it's nice to talk about. I myself just walk outside without even looking through the window, and if it rains, then I just walk through the rain. For dramatic effect.
