Yulia Lipnitskaya

Yes, she said that she feels like she's wearing flip flops? :biggrin:

Poor girl, she needs to change her brand of flip-flops too. thanks for the boot information. I know just where to come next time I need shoes.
 
Where do you think Yulia will finish at the GPF? Everyone seems to be counting her out of the medals, but that's based on her two worst FS perfomances.

She'd have to make zero mistakes to beat Radionova. I'd say she has the best chance at silver though if she makes more than two mistakes Tuk will take silver from her. I of course will be praying she gets gold :cool:

This. ^

But it's very difficult to predict because I don't know which layout she will present here, and her physical conditions.
If she has the same layout that she had in TEB and makes no mistakes she can win silver, but Liza is a strong contender there too.

In order to win she needs the layout of last season, but she can't do that at the moment. She will need more time and I think the nationals is the most important competition till January.

The thing about this GP season is that anything is possible. I wouldn't be surprised to see Julia win. Or Radionova. Or Tuk. Or Gold!

It honestly is anyone's game, but if I had to place my money... I'd bet on Radionova. She just seems so bored about her media attention that's she unaffected! But Julia could certainly win! I think I would appreciate her program more if she were to perform it clean.

Edit: Radionova isn't actually bored I think. She loves it, she embraces it, and she studies it. She was waving to the crowds saying 'merci' at TEB and 'thank you' at SA. Unlike Julia, she loves the attention of performing well! I think that will take her a long way.

A pro for Julia is that is she performs well, she simply has to do that. Nothing more. PR isn't her biggest strength and that is definitely something that endears her to many other fans.

I understand what you mean, gravy, though I would define it as "Radionova doesn't seem affected by the media" instead of "bored" :)

If I had to bet money, I would place Yulia 3rd. A clean Lena with 3Lz-3T and amazing presentation skills is hard to beat, and Liza has proven her consistency this season. The question mark about her, IMO, is if the sequel of medals will encourage Liza to perform her best or if when she finds herself surrounded by winners, her confidence will crumble. If the latter happens, Yulia could take silver.
 
So in short, Yulia will have to be absolutely clean, no mistake for the silver unless she changes the layout?
 
IMO, Yes.
With the way they score Elena, I agree. Even if Yulia goes clean, it's difficult for her to grab the gold unless she changed her layout.
I wonder about the current BV of top ladies.
Elena Radionova and Anna Pogo have the highest I assume?

I think so. I don't know about Liza, if she's changing anything for GPF.

I don't think Yulia can change the layout right now. There is a reason why she is using that at the moment.
The important thing, for now, is to skate clean and perform. That will help her a lot whatever the final placement.

I have just checked. Elena's BV is the craziest. I highly doubt that any lady can challenge her layout right now. If she goes clean, no one has the chance to stop her I suppose.
So Liza will have to bring back 3lz3t and adjust her layout in order to win, so will Anna Pogo.
If Yulia indeed keeps her current layout and skates clean, she can have the silver or bronze. Let's hope that she can have the silver at least.
