Ladies

^ Thanks! I think Gao does have pretty solid jump technique, but I agree that her other flaws are probably more numerous. It'll be interesting to see the two skate back to back.

I found Li Zijun's SP: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mqm_te-RzAU She is really very good! Nice job on the jumps and such a pity about the fall entering the spin. No doubt she would have broken 50 otherwise.

She reminds me of Min-Jung Kwak, although it might just be the costume, her very slender build, and great flexibility. This girl has a very nice presence.

She does resemble Min-Jung's look on the ice, but I think Li Zijun is bubblier and more charismatic (at least in this program and her old Snow White and the Seven Dwarves one). Is Min-Jung on the senior circuit this season?

Adelina's SP: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_jlgZc0fwI She has gotten sooo tall compared to 2009-2010 videos. Great jumps and spins.

Adelina is a star. Here's hoping she survives puberty because if she does she'll be fighting for top spots no doubt about that.

Yes, Min-Jung is scheduled to attend Cup of China and Skate America. Wishing her the best and a speedy recovery!

Adelina is amazing. Everything about her skating is beautiful and finished, she may be the next Yuna Kim, she really doesn't have any weaknesses in her skating! About puberty, her jump technique is solid so that should help, and even though she is tiny, she actually looks like she's grown quite a bit since last season. ISU bio says 155 cm, so she might not actually get much taller, a lot of the Russian female skaters in the past have been pretty petite.

Adelina is definitely the most complete package of all the Russian ladies, in terms of her raw abilities. If she skates clean, she should win every time.

Poor Zijun, she looked stunned when she fell in that entrance to the spin. She was skating so well before that. Mingzhu Li has done a good job with her, and I like Karen Kwan's choreography on her. I think she has a good chance of placing 4th, and possibly winning a bronze in the LP if she skates clean. She has grown so much taller, all limbs now -- she looks good. I'm glad that all the growth has not thrown off her jumps so far.

sequinsgalore, thanks for the PBP. Even though I have the feed up (when it's not being freezy - though I'd rather have some feed than none, being in the US), I'm not quite up to speed on which jumps are which so it helps to have a PBP.
