I think she just needs to concentrate on what she has to do and forget others. A stable program will be a good building block going forward

Exactly. Anna needs to look to peek at Europeans and Olympics not at Nationals.

it would be better for her to wear some more winter shoes. But this act of hers is so simple and so sweet. Such things are remembered no less than victories in competitions.

I noticed girls often weas socks just hardly reaching over the heels those times even in winter. I'm really getting old

She is unbelievable. To think of her to hand out signed pictures of her so she's not touching things from fans is unbelievable!

But put some socks on Anna it's cold out!

As for the SP at RusNats, it was full of energy and vigour right from the very start until her final pose. I just loved the fire in her eyes! (As much as her facial expression when she saw the result. She was smiling, but you could sure tell she wasn't fully satisfied...)
She will fight like an Amazon today, no doubt about that!

Anya didn't have a good day today but it doesn't matter. Kamila was unbeatable anyway and she just needed to show she deserves to be a part of the Olympic team. And she did.

Yes, Anna was beaten by a better skater today.

But one result doesn’t take away her accomplishments, nor does it take away the fact that she is everything that is right about sports. I respect her more than you can quantify.

Her heart, will and desire is what everyone coming after her should emulate.

Three time national champion titles, followed by bronze medal. Honestly the line of medals uninterrupted for three years is amazing in such field. Yes, not the skate she wished, but again she has shown she never dives up and after the 4F fall she delivered the rest.

I don't know how to qualify it but for any Anna's program : shivers of work of art every time !

Photos from yesterday's SP.

Anna has always had great make-up, but what she did yesterday for the SP was a level up even her for her.

And for the Free today, not what she wanted, but I still want to congratulate her on her bronze medal. Being on the nationals podium 4 years in a row with this field is nothing short of impressive, especially when you're having a bad (for your own standards) skate!

And press conference silliness.

The last picture.
All three are in genuine laughter including Anna
