Kamila Valieva

That's aslo why I like to watch even the "weaker" groups in competitions, because it reminds you how difficult the technical part of skating is. People are often pichy, complain about "imperfections" and all, but it should be always reminded that a "mistake on something so easy" comes from how demanding it is.

oh i know, people forget sooo incredibly easily, especially those who have never been a skater. there was a comment in the RLT a couple weeks ago where someone was assuming you should have one or two triples by skating twice a week and i was like oohhh nooooooo you'd be lucky to have all your singles! one of the funniest things i've read in a while.

honestly back when i competed most of my competitors (including myself) quit around the time they were learning double axels and early triples, i'd be surprised if it were any different now. it's the turning point where you really learn whether or not you can physically go farther. most find out they can't.

Geez, finally! Official video from the Tutberidze channel.

That is a beautiful video of a beautiful program by a beautiful girl in a beautiful dress

So true. Good to get a close-up look at the design. It has that same kind of blend of the lighter color with the darker color that we've seen in her SP dress and I guess in one of Alyona's dresses too. Like the purple becomes almost white, but it's still purple.

And we're not allowed to argue about skirt length in this thread! Either she intended to grab the hem of her skirt in her clockwise spin or it didn't happen. No other option!

Wow! Look at how powerful Kamila's legs and upper back are! I wonder if the quad revolution may lead to girls being better able to keep their jumps as they get older, because of the muscular strength it needs. These young girls are incredible athletes!

I like how her 4S is so clearly rotated, that the ice mark is so clean!

Kami‘s face before and during rollercoster ride is me excited for and then regretting my life decisions

 

[Tonight's the Night]

Here's a fan cam with a couple more quad salchows, from the show in St. Petersburg, apparently. I've cued it up to the first attempt and fall -- afterwards Kamila doesn't get up, just sits crisscross-applesauce on the ice for a bit. Pretty great stuff.
