Am on team "Give her something contemporary to skate to" after watching this. She's really supple and has a good sense of rhythm, and I bet she'd rock a more modern programme.

She has the absolute most beautiful ina-bauer She skates so big and open!

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Yes! /\/\/\/\/\/

Such a courageous performance at the height of the tension and crescendo excitement of the previous three skaters'

She’s a beautiful and gracious skater . She’s so flawless and consistent and she has nerves of steel

Daria has come such a long way from the start of her first junior season, when she could not skate two clean programmes in a row. And now, here she is, going last at competition after competition in the free skate, following on from the big guns, and proving herself to be a cool customer under pressure. Has she popped a jump or fallen yet this season? I don't think so.

Her SP from yesterday:



The FP is not yet uploaded, alas.

Edit: I was blind as a bat. Here's the FP.

When people like to talk about legends and all, Daria seems to be a legend if she was like ten years older. Though she still can be, if the term "legend" is connected with the medals.

Daria is amazing! Her trajectory this season is reminding me of Alyona in her last junior season. Incredibly consistent and building up her reputation as a beautiful skater, performer, and artist, with huge and beautiful triples done at the highest quality with the most difficult transitions. That alone makes her a threat to take spots when others falter. 80+ and 155+ with no 3A or Quads, as a junior, nonetheless If she can deliver even one consistent 3A or Quad within her programs next year, she’ll be a huge challenger. This girl is amazing. She’s magic on ice and she gets better every single time!

She's so supple in her back she makes me feel stiff and like I need to drape myself over my pilates ball to stretch myself.

She needs to be selected for the next olympics. I wish for her to win the team event with Anna and Kamila will be the olympic champion in single.

Imo she has the best skating skills and is the most expressive among the 6 girls in the team event.
She reminds me of Aliona in her last junior season - consistency, quality skating, huge axels, and always put second by the judges to the quadsters. Wish her a bright future ahead.
