Sad for NastyaT. At least she gave this event a try.Tarakanova had a terrible skate. It was not good at all. I honestly think it would have been better for her to not compete here (like Vasilieva). Next season is at stake, and you don't want to go out with a catastrophy performance.
I'm glad you've noticed that about Gubanovas edge and her artistry which is so natural. It is a minor miracle that she seemingly has survived puberty since puberty has hit her harder than anyone I can remember and lasted for longer than anyone I can remember. It's been like a 3 + year battle of puberty for Nastya. Hopefully she can start next season with open skates and get some actual events even if it only challengers. She got buried this year and only skated in the Russian Cup series, the St Petersburg Open and Nationals.After watching her sp I think she still has the it factor. It looks she survived puberty and her artistry keeps improving. Her edge is also very good.
