Yeah Sofia isnt in shape but she has still time to get there. Im assuming one combo was supposed to be a 3lz-3lo because I doubt the plan was for two 3-2 combos and no loop. the Lutz seems to be causing her issues tho.

I liked the short alright but I dont like this free for her and it's not just due to it being Malade. There is barely any choreo and the dress looks like it's meant for a different program all together.

Event producers accidentally put render distance on zero or something

How it feels entering Kazakhstan championship arena:

About the dresses, I think these are not finalized. I have seen her wear these before so I think they are temporary surrogates. She should have something proper ready for the season's start.

She is evidently injured judging by her behind-the-head spins so I can't really comment much on her skating. She actually looked OK to me just very unrefined because she probably didnt get to train properly and hence lacking cardio as well. I think she has plenty of time to get it together for the season.

Agree that music choices are disappointing and I am not a fan of the programs themselves in any case, but they're acceptable.

Dang can that Farafanova move though and she is flexible!! Big shame that it seems she lacks the strength expected from a complete figure skater. I think she would make an awesome dancer!!

I think none of it is final, and, yes, she has her work cut out for her. Let's see what she can do.

That was underwhelming. Granted, Kazakhstan has their spots towards the second half of the JGP, so there is still a little time. But it's mind-boggling to me that Samodelkina goes through all the trouble of changing countries and then shows up so ill prepared, both in terms of physical fitness but also did they even bother to check the new spin rules?

Despite the injury it does seem like in any case they haven't put much effort in and are just looking to cruise through by the minimum before the main season. They have been focused on ice shows this entire time and from what I understand Samodelkina took the roles that Muravieva left behind.
