Anna Shcherbakova

Anna is exquisite both on and off the ice.. my appreciation of her has grown over the season..
A word about this music: there are pieces that open you up and cut straight to the soul, often in a chilling way. That is the way this music makes me feel. It is downright terrifying and goes beyond the merely scary or shivery or otherworldly and I have a hard time listening to it when Anna skates. BUT I like the music very much precisely because it makes me feel something I never felt before. However, I cannot imagine listening to it as often as Anna must have had to through the months of practice and competition... Wonder if others have had this response..
 
Well done, Anna! She really has such an excellent free as the Firebird, and that costume change remains spectacular, no matter how many times I see it. I hope she is proud of her Euros silver - she was wonderful tonight, and a deserved winner of the free skate.
 
Anna won two championship golds last season - RusNats and EYOF. Therefore, she is gearing up for a Worlds gold! :biggrin:

In all seriousness, I think she should've won overall, but hopefully this will give her something to prove going into Worlds.
 
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.

Anna cheered teary eyed Alyona up in Nationals, on those couches. Now Alyona cheered Anna up, and the girls being so young still, like to play and goof around a little to break any tension between them.

This whole season they've trained together, competed together, celebrated together, laughed together, cried together, and did not let anybody pass. Only one more such feat in Montreal, and the 2019/2020 season will be remembered forever as the season three girls from one single rink were Undefeated, only losing to themselves.
 
Congrats to Anna for delivering two sublime performances! That was my favorite rendition of her SP ever, and her FS was still spectacular despite the fall. I'm also amazed that she kept her composure despite being asked those ridiculous, insulting questions by the moderator, who surely wanted to get some reaction from her. She is a class act on and off the ice, and I am so proud to be her fan.
 
I was very happy when i saw her 4F. It looked very beautiful and clean. Now I understood the the judging for this one but how can the 2nd 4lz be downgraded? It's even around the border of -90 deg... No edge question was positive result though.
 
Thank you for sharing the video!

Anna is always so sweet and so articulate. She seems very level-headed, and really, so humble for someone who has achieved so much. I had no idea her cat was called Mafia, though!

The way she articulates herself blows me away everytime. She is 100% humble and so well-reflected, aware of her words, surroundings, strengths and weaknesses. The way she talked about SNS and how there are people out to destroy you but also valid criticism is :clap: (as in, I would completely understand it if someone was subjected to fame and online hatred to simply dismiss everything negative as "hate" but Anna doesn't know how to not be nuanced.) And she is still so young, what a bright future this one has! :o:
