Serafima has grown soooo much, I think she needs only more time for adjust her techinique to her new body, she looks so georgous!
5th, one place above Sima. It's a big improvement from her last competition though.

Puberty?
She gained body mass in her torso area, just like Julia. Julia has longer legs and I think she can rotate faster, on the other side Sima has higher leap. Only time will tell how the girl cope with all the changes.Sima seemed to hit puberty at a younger age compared to the other girls though. Physically she doesn't look much different than last season, maybe a bit taller and thinner/less muscular, but no drastic growth or anything. I wonder if the issues are more psychological in nature? I guess stuff is going on with her family, I know last season she mentioned the finances were tight, and now she's working with her 3rd coach since March. She just seems a little lost out there. Hope she can bounce back.

She didn't used to be as thin as let's say Medvedeva or Sotskova, so it is likely that she would start puberty earlier than them.She's already 15. Perhaps she is hitting it a bit earlier compared to other top top skaters, but she is well behind the average girl in the real world. Maybe she doesn't control her diet as tightly as some of the others or maybe just genetically this is when it was going to happen for her. I don't think this is a weird time for her to be hitting puberty at all.

LOL LOL.... SB 71.48!!!????? Have Russians completely lost it? There is no way that is better than IZ at Mordovian ornament (and I don't like IZ SD) or BS SD at the first stage of the Russian cup.... in my humble opinion if SK got 62 internationally that is what SB should expect, and I thought SK was better.
