Elizaveta Tuktamysheva

Liza came across a video on Twitter of a woman's bronze medal performance at an adult competitive event and shared it, really making that woman's day. That was really cool of her to give some love and respect to a random, amateur competitor. :cool: :luv17:
 
So proud of her! 3A! Wow. Her programs are... hm, not my cup of tea but she‘s definitely selling them. Hoping for a great season for her. :)
 
Liza doesn't just talk the talk, she is skating the skate, bringing back the triple axel, even over-rotating it at the onset of the program and season. She shows why GS voted for her triple lutz, showing them back to back and puts out commendable skates saying she's ready to slay. I think once she gets more comfortable with the 3A, she should be able to increase her performance level. The music is definitely a departure from her past programs so just needs some mileage. I'm guessing she's gonna be adding the 3F back into the free later on?
 
Well, Liza had the best showing at the open skates by far! I was rooting for her to make it to Euros and Worlds before that, and I'll be doing so even more now.
 
I did. :)

By the way, St. Petersburg is Russia's capital of underground and postmodernism, everyone here looks high, and you can often see it in interviews and instagram. :biggrin:
 
So glad to see Liza stand up for herself and the other Russian ladies against TSL's comments about their weights and eating habits. Much of what they said was totally inappropriate, uncalled for, and totally off base in my opinion, and good for Liza for not letting them just get away with it.

She is a lively, athletic, and talented skater who is wonderful just as she is, and good riddance to a couple of armchair commentators who say otherwise.
 
I just cannot like her enough - she is a clever, mature, honest, independent, brilliant in many ways person.
She is truly interesting as a personality beyond the rink, which is a rare quality for athletes.
I hope she will be able to pull out clean programs at the GP events to be qualified for the final and get back the trust of the Federation.
She is definitely the person I root for the most among all Russian ladies.
