I love Anna but I will rewatch her GP performances over these. Not her fault that she was injured, of course, and the hideous judging makes me want to forget it all happened.

I am dead at "Lord Samarin"

Finally managed to catch up with everything except the Gala (and the MEN's events, which I don't follow : )

Here's my personal Top5:

1. Medvedeva (that "3-3-3-Grrr!" gesture she made in the Kiss&Cry! I hope somebody will make an animated gif out of it!)
2. Zagitova (she had already been quite impressive at JGPF in Marseille, I think she looked even better in Chelyabinsk!)
3. Tarasova/Morozov (Ok, being a fan of theirs I may be biased, but I still think they should've been the winners!)
4. ExAequo to Zahorski and Pogorilaya, who both gritted their teeth and skated while being sick/injured....RESPECT!

:agree:

I'm coming to this thread very late, so many great performance to enjoy;

1. Anna Pogorilaya FS - I have watched this skate so many times. Powerful, passionate and emotional, I love it. Of course the judges did her no favours.
2. Anastasia Gubanova FS - This programme suits her perfectly. I am hoping she makes the Russian junior team, a beautiful skater.
3. Boikova/Kozlovskii FS - They get better every time I see them. In their first JGP I though they were overpowered but here it was brilliant, love their salchows and running edge
4. Zhuk/Britkov SP - A lovely skate, very soft and lyrical. Bit of an age gap and he is a bit short so not sure of the long term potential but I was impressed.
5. Stanislava Konstantinova SP - A strong, powerful, athletic skater not a typical ice princess but for me it helps her stand out.

I was disappointed for K/S, it could be hard for them to make a Russian team again but even though their jumps and throws were a bit of their programmes were still a joy to watch, they got a great reception from the audience. Also disappointed for Sergei Voronov, his worst skate of the season in his most important competition, his COC performance was magical. I wasn't impressed with Dmitriev Jr. reaction to Mishin in the K&C, he may be disappointed with his performance but his behaviour was unacceptable.

I thought the audience were fantastic, very supportive to and appreciative of all the skaters.
