OK, now that I had time to process everything re:test skates, some thoughts:
- Man, Zhenya looks good. I love to see how effortless she glides through the ice, her posture is great, too!
- The axel! Amazing progress. Lutz not there yet, but going in the right direction, especially on the SP.
- 3T in combos looks faster too! BTW, gutsy move to have the combo as the last jumping pass on the SP.
- Spins... Not quite sure yet. I miss the Biellman.
- Really like the SP, don't really feel like I've seen the FP due to the fact that's obviously not finished and she forgot parts of choreo
All and all, I think she's shown incredible progress and I can't wait to see her in competitive form at ACI! She managed to keep it together even though her jumps were off on the FP so I think the nerves of Tsarina are still there :luv17:
