Elizabet Tursynbaeva

[matmuh]

I have seen her long program in the rink and she was completely, absolutely gorgeous! Her skating hit me emotionally the hardest, the second part of the program is just pure magic. :luv17::luv17:
Elizabet has such a great fighting spirit. I think she is mentally a very strong competitior which is really important in this sport.

I have bought for her the softest, cutest teddy bear which I could find in Debrecen, and I threw it on the rink after her LP. She deserved it :agree::luv17:

yes she did deserve it!! i am sure she felt happy to be loved and supported! :agree:

and i agree with everything you said, she is a fighter and you just know she will never give up, she showed once again that you can never count her out. ahhhh i am so envious you got to see her skate and glad that you enjoyed :luv17:

Yes I actually wrote to her a little message: 'Never give up - always good luck!', she thanked me on instagram, so nice of her. :luv17:
I am very happy that I could see her skating live, she is really gorgeous!

Funny how the seasons always seem to fly by so fast but what's even more funny is when thinking back on how long ago it feels to remember her skating at Skate Detroit. It's been a fun and very long season for her. All the best in her WC debut as s senior. Good luck Lil' Bet!!!

After watching her SP I gotta say: I live for Elizabet's footwork :luv17:

Matmuh, when I heard someone in the arena shout 'Go Elizabet' before she started with her SP, I wondered if it was you. I guess your constant admiration you show for lil' Bet on this forum left its mark in my head

i will NEVER get tired of saying it, i think her stsq is just BRILLIANT!!! and how i wish it was me who is cheering loudest but unfortunately its not :sad21: maybe one day

 

[yyyskate]

absolutely a highlight tonight, crowd was doubting her age and small statue in the beginning, but in the end, they completely forget that, and her opening small mistake. her stsq and whole program is just FAB and wakening!!!

Watched Elizabet live and the audience loved her (as did I!) it's funny, there were some kids behind me wondering if she was 9 years old

 

[matmuh]

i am so envious of both of you, and yyyskate, you got to see the EX version live at SA too right? it was even more detailed and nuanced there it was great to see audience clapping for her too and i love the little shimmy she does (old couple in front row seemed to like it too )

i dont find the comments "ohh she look novice, her face and body looks different in age" funny anymore tbh, its the only thing many people are saying and let it take away from how brilliant she is (its nothing against you though!! just tired of those comments)

here is BESP commentary of her SP: http://youtube.com/watch?v=pK_9CF54Up8 , i am glad that Mark mentioned her planned layout and how she possibly changed it during her skate and how smart she is

 

[JuliettaG]

I love her short! It's like this new style of music suits better her, she's less serious and seems to enjoy it On the spanish TV, Susana and Paloma praised her a lot, they said that she is very fast and lovely I hope the free goes well!

 

[matmuh]

practice report from Jackie: 3S3T, 2A3T, 1Lo, 3Lz, 3Lz(hand), 2Lz, 3Lz, 3Lz, FS runthru (3Lz2T2Lo, 3Lz, 3F, 3S3T, 3Lo, 2A3T, 2A), 3Lz3T, 3Lz3T, 3S1Lo, 3S1Lo, 3S3T3T

i wonder if she will decide to surprise us all with 3S3L

 

[matmuh]

so proud of Elizabet!!! :luv17: she has been a busy bee whole season and she did junior worlds less than 2 weeks ago but still delivered 2 amazing performances (except fall on lp :sad21 and renewed her personal best for SP, LP and total!!! her TES 67.39 is 6th highest in the LP (and thats with a fall and barely any GOE!) :dance: i remember people saying she doesnt have a chance to podium or making GPF at start of the season, but all i can see is the POTENTIAL in her, not just technically, she is also fierce competitor and doesnt let early mistakes affect rest of the performance, sure not this season obviously but she just turned 16 and has all the time (hopefully!!) to be better

here are her performances
SP (besp) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pK_9CF54Up8
LP (nbc) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9yQEZtfj3o

hopefully there will be more versions :yay:

ohhh, and appearantly she looks like 5 now, she keeps getting younger and younger, i bet many people would love that

 

[matmuh]

just watched "almost crush" incident at 6 min warm up, well done to Elizabet for hanging onto that board for her dear life! her blade could have cut Mao she was holding her right side, i hope it didnt hurt much

and i am kinda pissed that eurosport decided not to show Elizabet's performance and skip to Rika after Mao despite showing Nicole's LP who was at earlier group (nothing against Nicole though, she is so lovely!)

 

[matmuh]

Elizabet with Yuzuru at banquet cuties !!!! :luv17: her original caption is
"Banquet I couldn't find Javier So I don't have a photo with World Champion"

 

[matmuh]

cant wait to see Elizabet one last time at TCC this week hopefully she will have long break after the crazy busy season she had
short video of her at her very 1st red carpet, still cant believe how good her english is i hope we will see longer videos too!! cant wait to see her interactions with Satoko, 2 of my favourites :luv17:

and Elizabet's part of TSL's interview David Wilson, he had many nice things to say about her, i love the story of how they "tricked her into changing her SP" i am glad they did cause in case you dont know I LOVE IT!!!! and her mom is so cute, saying "next Yuna"

 

[cathlen]

Slay & have a lot fun, Elizabet! I don't want her to be next Yuna, I'd rather she be Queen Elizabet! Btw. How awesome is that there are two Kazakhstan representatives in Team event?

i think her mom said that because she is representing small country same as Yuna and she is training with Brian (and Elizabet looks up to Yuna :luv17 but i agree, i want her to be her own awesome self! and yeah its so cool that there are 2 skaters from Kazakhstan, i hope there will be Denis' ice show this summber and Elizabet will be there too!! :hap57:
