Yes, Trankov with his practical skating experience kept talking about how difficult it was to break down the program in her head while skating and find a place for an extra jump. Tarasova complimented it too.Actually, it wouldn't be surprising if Stasya were to be named as one of the alternates for the Euros / Worlds teams (alongside Lena & Liza). After these 3, Sima is the next age-eligible skater in line and Stasya has been consistently out-performing her for more than a season now (including last year's Jr Nats).
The way she was able to insert the missed Lz back in and has also stopped having freak falls, shows that she's worked hard to improve in mental strength & focus.

Well, it's official, she has been named the second alternate for Euros after Radionova.Actually, it wouldn't be surprising if Stasya were to be named as one of the alternates for the Euros / Worlds teams (alongside Lena & Liza). After these 3, Sima is the next age-eligible skater in line and Stasya has been consistently out-performing her for more than a season now (including last year's Jr Nats).
It's become a byword among Stasya's fans "what kind of scores would she get if she actually skated clean?" Judges seem to really like her - if she made such an impression on TAT live it's probably not surprising. Maybe soon we'll finally see a program without any negative GOE.The way she was able to insert the missed Lz back in and has also stopped having freak falls, shows that she's worked hard to improve in mental strength & focus.
TOP6 is really amazing achievement, I loved her reactions. Tarasova and Trankov accentuated her huge jumps and quick thinking after failing first cascade attempt.
Fantastic job, Stasya!
