Anna Shcherbakova

So happy for her! Hope she can fix the Lutz UR and get the flip perfect for worlds! Would be amazing for her to have a flawless skate there with this amazing program.
 
Where are jennapowers and flanker?
jennapowers, you made a great prediction!
flanker: I assume Anna is one of your favourites!
 
Anna is the hero of the day. In some survey I've seen she was the least probable winner of the event of the 3A according to the responders, but she again proved them wrong. Congrats to you, Anna :yahoo:
 
Wow Anna was amazing today. From the start I could tell that she was going to skate well. She had that look of determination in her eye. I am so glad that she was able to repeat as national champion!! Hopefully she will land that quad flip without a step at Euros!!
 
Ballerina Angel Anna is great. Two-time national champion against this competition is incredible! She also seems to have the clutch gene.

Congrats.

Predicting it right here. Anna Shcherbakova 2x Russian National Champion. Guys it can be done, if she lands her 3 quads, which we all know she can, I mean she thinks so herself, then she is guaranteed to beat Alena. Who knows what Sasha will do, but I really do think it could be Anna v Sasha tomorrow in the free.

You were right Jenna. :)
 
I'm just so thrilled for Anna! I've loved watching her since her Dreamcatcher/Sikuriadas days, and she's come so far since then - two-time Russian National Champion, incredibly consistent 4Lz, exquisite musicality, performance, and spins, lovely 3Lz-3Lo, etc. :luv17:
 
Congratulations, Anna! What a marvellous performance, and what a triumph for the Firebird! I have to say, for the first time this season, I realised that she still is the Firebird in that first half of the programme - I don't know why I never caught the wing beats until today, and I feel very blind, but also very glad to have seen it. She was so perfect in this performance, the costume change gave me gooseflesh as always, and when she ended exactly on that final note, wow!

Her quads are breathtaking in their height and their flight over the ice, her spins are lovely - I just want to know why she never looks pained in them, the way other skaters so often do - and her ability to stay on the music even when it was barely audible over the applause is really astonishing. She has worked hard for this moment of triumph, and my gosh, does she deserve it. Brava, Anna, brava!
 
Anna! Such emotive performances. In the beginning of the season I loved her FS much more than her SP. But now I think the SP is equally as good! She's expended to darker themes and more complex music this season, and she's shown her artistic versatility and certainly doesn't only perform "innocent" characters. Artistically, musically, and choreographically, I think the sky's the limit with her. How I wish we would see shows with her and Sasha Cohen. I would have given her even more in the PE/IN parts of PCS, but I really do love Anna. And the thing is, this isn't even her technical ceiling; she still can improve on the flip and smaller things like her spins.

Performance wise, I don't see how it could get better than this, it was perfect. Though Anna is very expressive in her face and body, it always feels genuine and each performance iteration is different; I never feel like she's doing the same program again from different competitions. I hope she does even better at worlds and how incredible if she could be world champion.

I'm glad to see you celebrating with us! Anna got so good and strong.. I still can't believe the way she's landing her quads this year.. Like Nathan.. totally amazing.. :drama::love::clapper::thank:
 
Anna has such a sweet smile. And her hair is beautiful. I laughed when I saw that all three of the girls had let their hair down for the medal ceremony - Anna really does have hair to rival Alexandra! You were right, flanker, when you said people just don't talk as much about it.
