Today my friend watched this video of Anna’s quad lutz in Bratislava, and commented, “Holy shit, she covered half of that red circle!”

I googled the dimensions of that hockey red circle. It’s 15ft in radius, which means Anna’s quad lutz covered roughly 15ft (about 4.57m). She might as well be flying!

she was not in the center of circle so I think it's no more than 3m

She took off aligned with the centre, and landed near (but not on) the edge of it. I would guess around 3.5. Whatever the exact number is, though, it’s a whole lot more than I would expect from her based on how little her triples were last season. That’s why I was so surprised to find out how big the circle actually was.

Nice guess. We can somewhat solve it with Pythagoras's clause. If we say that where she started was aligned with the center and about 3/4 the distance from the center to the edge of the ring. Then let's say that she landed exactly on the edge of the ring.

Using Pythagoras's clause, that gives us 3.02 meters.

Of course, it doesn't actually work because she wasn't exactly moving straight and at a 90 degree angle to the center of the dot so Pythagoras's clause wouldn't apply. But it's something to estimate very loosely with.

If my eye and Inkscape skills didn't fail me, it should be around 280 cm. https://postimg.cc/image/eulm3spbh (1px=1cm)

Anyway, she flew past others like a sports car.

Face of Anya... goooshhh so cute, tiny, shy, adorable, sad kitten.
Composition of facial expressions and poses it's like Eteri habitually started to turn on the "YouDoingEvenWorse!"-regime, but suddenly a little birdy raised her sad eyes upon her, and Eteri meltdown

A website, OASport, printed an Italian article about JGP Bratislava. The headline mentions Anna, saying she charmed the crowd during her program. It also called her jump elements splendid. There was lots of praise for her.

I think the people who did not know of Anna before her international debut were shocked by her beautiful power.

I completely agree.
I had only seen her at DreamOnIce before, and I didn't expect to be so amazed by both of her programs during JGP

It is very unique. But I like the idea of an all black Rondo! It looks edgy!

Yeah, me too actually

So what minimal place does Anna need to be in next JGP to make it to JGPF?

3rd may be (like Alina did in 2016)

It is relative, depends on the result of other girls. But considering the srength of the field anything below the medal position could be risky. Here you can see actual situation: http://www.isuresults.com/events/jgp2018/jgpsladies.htm

 

[dante]

1+3 almost guarantees a spot at the jgpf, while 1+4 leaves a 75% chance, from statistics of the past years.

 

[Shayuki]

3rd should definitely be in the final. 4th also is extremely likely, especially if Kostornaya and Trusova win both their assignments because then there'd be so few potential winners.

Still, it'd require a true disaster for her to place 3rd or 4th, if the scoring of these past few competitions is any indication. She'd need to completely melt down for 170 points. Even with disaster skates at Elder age Moscow qualifiers or something, she scored 187. And that was with low domestic scoring. She gets scored much higher internationally, if her first JGP is any indication.

I like the girl between them, in the background - her feelings are sincere.
