At the end of the day, if she wants a kostner like career, I think she can get it.
I think a lot of skaters would love to have career like Kostner. And Kostner is her favourite skater, so... After all, its not everything just in winning golds
It's yet to be seen whether the young Eteri skaters (or young ones anywhere) will be successful under the scoring adjustments for this quadrennial.Can Zhenya up her tech?
Yes, she can fix the lutz and add -3lo combos.
Will this help her agains Kostornaya, trusova, etc?
No.

I'm going to be the downer and say it might not be fixed at all.

And that will only matter if they start calling her on it. I guess we'll see what happens.
There is an issue with a long career. 3 spots =(I think a lot of skaters would love to have career like Kostner. And Kostner is her favourite skater, so... After all, its not everything just in winning golds

i'm not so sure everyone understands there is a good chance she may have a rough season this year. if they change anything technical with her this summer its usually a year or so before consistency with changes show in competition, maybe even longer. she is a very strong willed girl and i know she will overcome anything thrown her way, and she will come out on top no matter how this next season goes. i just hope its not going to be incentive for people to write her off...inconsistency has a tendency to come with those kind of changes, even if its temporary.
Agreed...[emoji3] changing technique is risky physically, psychologically and in terms of performance ...it takes time to establish new body memory.i'm not so sure everyone understands there is a good chance she may have a rough season this year. if they change anything technical with her this summer its usually a year or so before consistency with changes show in competition, maybe even longer. she is a very strong willed girl and i know she will overcome anything thrown her way, and she will come out on top no matter how this next season goes. i just hope its not going to be incentive for people to write her off...inconsistency has a tendency to come with those kind of changes, even if its temporary.
I also think that Evgenia will not be as consistent as we're used to her being next season. BUT I also believe that her consistency isn't solely due to the endless runthroughs - Alina hasn't been nearly as consistent as her (esp in her new program, SP) and they followed the same training. I think at least 50% of her incredible consistency is due to her incredible mental strength.

Anyone else kind of seeing Castles in the Snow for Evgenia? (Sofia Samodelkina did it for her free last year and it actually seemed pretty good to skate to)
Hmmm so dunno really, but this still looks like Zhenya needs consider upgrading her jump layout if the GOE loss is not that huge.
I dunno, I am just bringing numbers so we have stuff to discuss
