Polina looks really good in the Skate America practice. Hope she shows that in competition.

Does she? That‘s good to hear but I won‘t get my hopes too high. But good luck to her of course����
I agree this is a rebuilding year for Zhenya. It’s going to take time to fix these issues.It was posted by someone else. It seems like there will be a short documentary about Zhenya for a Canadian programme called TSN. Maybe it‘s an introduction video for SCI or something like this. But she looked very focused in this video, I think it‘s her actual training and they‘re just filming her.
About the layout: I don‘t think Evgenia has ever done a 2A-3Lo combo, at least I‘ve never seen her do one. She tacked 3T onto every possible jump (including even Lutz and Axel) so maybe she‘s trying the same now with 3Lo? Being able to consistently land it in combo with other jumps. I think it will take some time before we‘ll see her change her layout significantly, though. This year she‘s primarily working on her technique, fixing the axel and trying to get a better edge on the lutz. It’s a transitional period. I guess by next year we‘ll see real changes and better programs, too. Her axel looks a lot better now even though it‘s still not perfect and she‘s even able to tack a loop on to it, so I‘m fairly optimistic for her improvement in the long run. But we‘ll see what happens at SCI. For now the main thing is to skate clean, I think, it‘s too soon to expect any serious changes.
About the lutz issue: Well, she will likely never get a really deep outside edge. If she got it to be consistently on a flat edge, it would be good. Not many skaters have a really deep outside edge so if she has a flat edge she should be fine. Maybe not add a combo to it because the GOE will likely never be the best for her on this jump but it’s already enough if she has two 3Lz in her programs. But this will likely take some time, edge issues aren‘t easy to fix.

Does she really need a “deep” outside edge? I never understood why this was preferable. Doesn’t she need just enough of an edge to avoid penalties? What’s the benefit of a “deep” edge or is that just some people’s obsession with form?
To the discussion of Medvedevas +3Lo combination. It looks good and Im impressed that she can do one.
Normaly when someone does a +3Lo combination it means they repeat Lz and F since they have the highest BV. I think that would be pointless for medvedeva at this piont at least with the much discussed edge issues. However it would also be beneficial to repeat Lo and F which she can also do with this type of combination. The gain is not as big compared to the standard layout but could be a step forward.

She's going down. :shocked:
I thought about that last night... like top 5 or medaling would be good. I think it's left over from a system where qualifying for the GP was a big deal for Russian ladies. Not anymore.

Oh, i loved only the shade toward TAT. That was GOLD!
She even linked this twitter on her instagram as her own https://www.instagram.com/liza_tuktik/That twitter account is clearly a fan account, I would say only her instagram is ran by the real Liza. Isn't it obvious that the english is way too fluent and the content is totally inappropriate to be written by Liza?
