Liza is no grandma but she'll be by far the oldest competitor at RusNuts and one of only two in their 20s. I think her age should be mentioned here given how eager some people are to tell 17-19 year olds to retire.

She did this contrary to stereotypes that quads are feasible only for junior girls. Bravo, Liza! Bravo, Professor Mishin!

It's not a stereotype. Quads are in fact easier to nail when younger.
Liza spoke about it herself recently. In her interview when talking about quads she said that doing it now is very scary and risky, the injuries take longer to heal the older you get, and you're generally more scared to fall, the youngsters have less fear and recover better. She also said that due to learning a quad she might risk losing another triple
It's nothing to do with size, but rather the psychology and injury risk part.
I think what Liza does deserve applauds not because she proved something, but because it a 100% was harder and more risky to get a quad for her now.
It's a lot of determination and overcoming fear that she had to do in order to get a quad.

There are already Alysa Liu and Sofia Akatieva, who did 3A and quad in one program. Though Liza would be the first senior.

Lovely jump by Liza. And that is what good technique can get you (along with talent of course), even when past baby ballerina stage. Hope she brings it to Nats and anywhere else she competes.

I’m so so excited for Russian nationals. If any coach could have his student learn a quad late in their career it’s Mishin.
