Polina Tsurskaya

[Tolstoj]

I also forgot to mention Alisa Fedichkina. I hope she will move to seniors, because in juniors for her will be much harder. But she could easy compete at seniors with Leonova, Sakhanovich and other unstable girls.

Meh competing at seniors for what? she doesn't have any chance to make the olympic team and she needs stronger PBs to really compete for something.

At juniors she could perform well with her backloaded 3ltz-3T but she needs to stay on form right from the start.

This is true. I like Alisa, but I don't think that turning senior would give her favours. No chance to make Olympic team for next year, while Tsurskaya has a shot.

With Nastya Gubanova, Dunya Panenkova, Sasha Trusova, Vika Vasilieva, Anna Scherbakova, Katya Kurakova, Nastya Tarakanova, Sonya Samodurova and Gulyakova - Alisa has much less chance in juniors than in seniors.

Seniors are pretty stacked too, and considering its Olympic season, there will be bloodbath. Also, as russian fed already showed, they pretty much will focus on whoever has a shot for the olympic games.

Couldn't this conversation take place in the Russian ladies thread instead of cluttering up Polina's fanfest?

I'm searching for the music from Polina's 2013/14 SP... it says it's "Between the Beats" by Jeroen van Veen, but I can't find it anywhere... maybe someone around here can point me to an album or something...? Thanks!

 

[hippomoomin]

Any update on Polina's injury? Or how tall she is now. She is 15 and still growing Growing taller is her #1 enemy.

She hasn't updated yet.
Polina is pretty tall as she is 172 cm. Personally I'm 178 cm and I stopped growing up when I was 14.

I don't know her SP music from 2013/2014, but I found this album, it's called "Between the Beats" and contains works by many artists, including Jeroen van Veen too. Maybe you'll find the piece you are looking for.

You are a lady... aren't you? girls generally stop growing at 15-16.
men stop growing taller at 20.
Tall skaters are by far more regal one ice than the short ones however if you are tall it will be difficult for you to be a jumping bean.

I don't think "the regal look" depends solely on the height, more like the proportions of the body, posture, and body movements as well. I think Polina looks beautiful on the ice, and she is one of the very few ladies skaters who are tall but don't look that tall on the ice.

 

[hippomoomin]

Sounds promising. I stopped growing taller at about 14,15 but I am pretty short at 5'3" (160 cm). I always think taller people will keep on growing taller beyond the average population's peak age, but it is not always true.

Oh no, I heard something about it earlier, now I understand why she so often WD from competitions. I was hoping to see her at Olympics. How sad.

yes, but these are a new confirmation that this problem not over yet. And affected her skating in JWC as well.

Yes. Eteri also mentioned 'exostosis' which I don't think has come up before.
