Of course, the field has moved on. Now 7 triples with tano, rippon and blackload and crazy transitions are the standard.Not Yuna Kim again, pls. Can't we move on?
I do hope they will work on 3A and even UR or PR quads.

Well, blame US system for not being able to push their underdeveloped girls the same way.

Evgenia's program is definitely better than kim's Sochi lp. Kim had no 3lo and sloppy spins, and the program choreography was so boring. Evgenia is more technically sound and emotes more in her program.Excellent event!
She's the G.O.A.T. for good reason. Too bad none of these talented, beautiful Russian ladies can match her overall quality and mastery.

I don't think Evgenia's body is "poorly aligned on every jump she enters." I don't think any of these ladies is poorly aligned on every jump they enter. I'd only call Lipnitskaia's body poorly aligned on every jump she enters, not any other ladies.Her body is poorly aligned on every jump she enters, so no. She's pretty, though.

Didn't expect a fairly clean Anna to be beaten by Maria + her popped axel
A clear signal that Zhenya is in danger... definitely not this year, but next year, one never knows.I wanted to mention something when people were talking about TAT going three, three, three. She was in super fast speaking mode but she said something interesting about the 3S-3T-3T. She said Zhenya with that skating was showing Eteri that it is possible to make her program more complex, that it is necessary to make them more complex. And that that is stunning. Then she apologized to Zhenya for speaking while she was still skating. But seriously, it's an interesting thought, looking at the bigger picture, especially what followed.
Watched a few videos of these ladies
My fav russian girl this season is Gubanova! I hope she gets more love on international events. I love her balanced programs even though it won't beat the top ladies layout. Her flow and grace is so beautiful to watch in the ice!
I don't get the hate for Miss Medvedeva. Yes her scores seem too high. But so did Miss Kim's scores in the old days, too high for the layout she did. This is what judges do to the so-called leader of the era.I don't know why Yuna gets dragged into the most random of threads. There is no doubt how technically talented the current field is and Med especially, but I still do not really feel artistic connection to many in the Russian field (although there are may exceptions). I do hope this sport doesn't only become a competition to see who can put their arms above their head the most or who can get the most transitions in, but also who can connect to the music and make the viewer invested in performance and not just count points.
