Ekaterina was so happy when she came off the ice today - she has such an infectious and lovely smile. Plus it was a clean skate for her today, without any URs! With the URs fixed, I expect her GOE for her jumps will go up; now I want to see the protocols, to see if she is getting the scores she deserves for performance. She is such a fun skater to watch, and today was no exception.

Here‘s the protocol. She didn‘t only get no URs but her flip also only got ! as well. This shows that she‘s really working on her issues. I saw her really trying to push herself up as much as she could to avoid any calls and it was worth it. Of course she still needs a bit more height to get safely around and to make her landings look better too. But she‘s a hard worker so I hope she‘ll get there.
Her PCS are still criminally underscored but she’s slowly working her way up with consistency and charming performances. Hopefully now judges will start to see her quality.
I‘m very proud today and I bet her and Brian are too. She‘s improved so much this season already. Top 7 at Junior Worlds, top 10 at Euros. That‘s a good start. Step by step. Now for the Worlds. Go Katia!
