I tried counting the spin features (a '+' for a feature). It's probably off and I'm not entirely sure I have all the technical jargon straight, but:

1. camel spin (2) >> doughnut (4) [+ variation, + edge change] >> half-Biellmann (2) [+ variation] = level 3? or level 4 if the camel itself counts for a feature
2. [+ flying entry] >> sit spin (8) [+ variation, + 8 or more rotations] >> pancake [+ variation] = level 4
3. sit spin (4) >> upright forward (3) [+ variation] >> [+ change of foot] >> camel spin (2) >> I-spin [+ variation, + difficult change of position on same foot] = level 4

I don't know. Maybe someone more familiar with the scoring can correct me.
I'm not too familiar with spins either, but I do know that when a skater does multiple positions it is called combination spin. With the change of foot it becomes a CCoSp4 which has the highest base value possible for a spin (3.5)
 
Good luck! She has shown alot of improvement in such a short space of time. I call that talent [emoji18]
 
Did you see that huge banner in Megasport Arena? It says "Go,Zhenya!"

EDIT: Oh, someone has already posted it :biggrin:

EDIT2: If you take a closer look, you'd see another banners too! Her fans are rocking! :hap85:
 
Can I watch instagram live on desktop? I don't have the app :(
 
I was surprised to see her struggling a bit with the Loop - they are either working on improving it or she was just tired/distracted because of the previous fall. Overall, I like the choreography. I must admit that I don't feel it yet, in a way I'm not sure if tango is her style but she had only 2 months for both SP and FP and it's understandable that she's not 100% into the character of the music. Still, there are some good moments and I am happy with it. Hopefully, the pressure doesn't get to her. As we saw, all ladies struggled today. :ghug:
 
Ended up downloading the app :D
I think today was quite good considering the circumstances. I'm not feeling it yet either, but I think it'll go well. I'm just surprised that they added 2 lutzes. Good luck to her though! I was very happy that the audience was very loud and supportive, it must feel nice.
 
Hehe she did other spin variations today. I honestly don’t think her sp nor her fs layouts are the ones she showed today...
 
Zhenya did well but her FS is obviously not ready nor is her stamina competition level yet, which is fine bc these are the test skates. I think they need to add some more choreo - according to Brian's interview, they will - and obviously it needs to be refined.

For a first outing, it was good! Too bad for the missed combo. She's doing both 3-3 combos at the end, which is super gutsy!
