Yes, health first please. I would rather she start with more difficult combos before she works on the triple axel again. I don't want her to get injured again. It's been a long and hard road for her to recover her form.
 
I like Liza's FS so much! She seemed to be very relaxed :) Nice to see someone smiling during the performance.
 
I also loved that moment where she put her finger to her lips and winked. Eurosport kept showing close-ups of that in their highlights. Sort of a "plushenko moment" or rather a "Mishin's student moment". Playful and confident. :)

As long as she doesn't copy Alexei Urmanov's leg movements, I'm cool with this. :biggrin: Maybe that's why Yagudin left... he was too deadpan. :laugh:

Me too!!!!! I loved that sass and I just feel like she owns her programs this season. I might be in the minority, but I quite like her FS dress. (I'm not a fan of her SP dress though.)

I've long been a fan of her's; and to see her have such a successful season thus far (after the troubles she's had) is just wonderful! And she seems to be enjoying herself so much - it's great! YAY LIZA!!!!!! :clap:

I loved that moment, too! I've replayed her LP so many times this weekend! Despite her 2nd place finish in SA, you can just tell that doing all those competitions before the Grand Prix season began was a good idea because she's broken them in so well; she's so confident doing them that she actually feels comfortable enough to do unrehearsed smiles in the program.

And I love her LP dress! What's all this nonsense about a bed sheet/moo-moo costume? She also has a really pretty textbook lutz and flip so what's not to love? She definitely moves into my #1 spot among the Russian ladies.

The bed sheet really does puzzle me.... what kind of bed sheets do people have? We've got nothing like that, that's for sure! ;)

I'm obviously tired. My brain just protested "but if you rolled onto the rhinestones in the middle of the night, that would hurt!"

Maybe the sheets covering a canopy bed...?

But that would be the drapes, surely - not the actual sheets? Anyway, I didn't know many people had that kind of fancy-schmancy bed. But, of course, I believe one of the people who said it was Johnny Weir, and in his case... who knows really?
 
I listened to the commentary, and it was obvious the bed sheet comment was a throwaway joke, nothing more. Johnny is a Liza fan.

This is a great interview, a must-read. Liza talks about many things including the disappointment of last season, her 3A, her costumes and how she never thought of leaving Mishin:

Some of her answers really moved me.

Thank you. A wonderful, eye-opening interview. Liza sounds like a very tough, determined girl.

ET: `Strict' is a wrong word here. Svetlana Mikhailovna was trying to get the result with the repetition. Sometimes brainless. Mishin teaches to think, to understand why are you doing this or that move.

Very interesting point.

I recall we were in Novogorsk skate camp and I landed a 3A3T combo.

:jaw: I thought Midori Ito was the only woman who'd ever landed 3A-3T.

EV: In one of the interviews you mentioned you have no friends on the ice.
ET: Actually I never said that and it was made a title. I was very upset. Thought it made me sound quite evil.

EV: But it's ok not having friends among your rivals. The reason I asked is because a year before the Olympics Yulia Lipnitskaya told me she was friends with you and admitted she wanted to make it to the team with you.
ET: It's so nice to hear! Indeed Yulia and I are in good terms.

:yay: I hope they make the World team together this season!

EV: A very feminine question. This season you have 2 almost similar costumes. One is quite transparent, the other makes one think you are trying to hide behind it. Or to hide the childhood uncertainty when you were fighting with an extra weight.
ET: I was thinking changing that costume. You are not the first to mention it. Perhaps we'll have a new dress for the Nationals if there will be an opportunity.

Okay, happy about this for several reasons:
- It means that Liza is proud of her body and not trying to cover it up. The two loose, similar costumes seem to be a coincidence, and people are projecting their weight ideas onto her.
- Maybe she'll change the SP costume? (I love the LP one, don't change it Liza!) We could get something less baggy and more colourful!

EV: Do you have to make an effort to stay in shape now?
ET: All and all it's easier now - the worst of my puberty is over. I still have to watch what I eat, but it's not that hard anymore. I don't faint with hunger anymore.

:cry: Poor Liza... To think of all she had to endure last year. But on a different note, I'm not surprised to hear this progression. I think many people tend to gain weight during puberty, but will slim down again afterward. I know it's what happened with me. I discuss this because I hope other skaters going through puberty don't just go, "I've gained weight, my career's over!"
