Usually I can only really enjoy skaters' performances during replay, because I am always very nervous real time. However, today I was not nervous at all when watching Anya's SP.
My impression exactly. The best of the season!What a fantastic skate from Anna! She is just getting better and better with this programme, really growing into it, and today she was really perfect.
Usually I can only really enjoy skaters' performances during replay, because I am always very nervous real time. However, today I was not nervous at all when watching Anya's SP.
She was so close to tears even on the podium. It must be so hard to do your best, to jump two quads, to win the free skate, and still place second. If she had just landed that 4Lz, I think she would have won. But she is so gracious, as she cheered right up during the medal ceremony and started dancing with Aliona on the podium. Long may she continue to be such a classy athlete.
Well, that fall on 4lz had to come one day and better now than in the Worlds..Anna won two championship golds last season - RusNats and EYOF. Therefore, she is gearing up for a Worlds gold!
