Dabin is 2nd alternate for JGPF. Not bad! :yay: Technically, she's also the highest non-Russian/non-Japanese in JGPF standings.
Same. KSU, please hear our cries!
And yes, please have her in a Senior B! Give her the experience!
I would prefer this season just for the security of WC spots. Not saying the SY is unstable or anything but having Dabin in this year's Sr. team would be a great asset due to her consistency. Besides, her programs are quite decent and she's showing artistic progress with the LP.
But I do hope she goes senior next season and finishes high at Jr. Worlds so that she continues to get attention (assuming she goes.)
I do hope that Dabin continues to be rock solid as she transitions into the senior ranks, but it's hard to tell. As they say, "ice is slippery."
About going to Sr. Worlds, I do hope she gets a chance to go because it will be a learning experience, but I wish she can debut at a less tension-filled competition; a Senior B (KSU, hear us) or maybe 4CC?
She will be at Merano Cup next month.
She will
Will Merano Cup be streamable?
That's good to hear!
and it seemed to me that she could get bronze behind the two Russians? Oh, I'm just so excited for her international Senior debut!

Her FS was pretty solid, except for the lack of a 3-3 and that fall on the 2A. I wonder if her coach not being present was a factor. (Look at the bright side...? Hahaha.)

It was so sad to see her alone in the K&C, but nice comeback in the FS! (That PCS though :disagree
Yeah, I wonder if there're some problems with travelling which is why her coach couldn't make it? Like Misha and his Visa problems earlier, but I'm just speculating. I do have to wonder who's with her at the comp if there's no one to sit with her at the KnC. There's been instances before that a coach wasn't there but somebody else filled out for them (eg. Yuzuru at Sochi SP, Yulia at TEB?) so it's really...questionable? I don't know how to phrase it in English, hahaha.

Even though she didn't win, 2nd is still a pretty huge thing. Congrats again! I still haven't found a copy of her FS but I'll add it once it surfaces. Yes she deserves some props, doesn't she? Her mental toughness and steady improvement is remarkable.
I just hope she can meet a program that really fits her so that she blossoms and becomes truly enjoyable and memorable skater. I'm not sure what kind of program it should be though.... Maybe something like Miki Ando's Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence? Miki was never an expressive skater but I really enjoyed that program of her.
