And what a great performance it was! Breathtaking, and the first quad try in the first international comp was successful. Strong mindset, and she just became the youngest lady quadster in history :luv17:

So happy for Kamila! Last season I saw her in a couple of Russian competitions and I was curious about her debut here at the JGP. And it was a great debut!
Her performance in the free program was exceptional, even with the fall. I doubted she would land the quad so early in the season, but she proved me wrong! And the spins are so beautiful, her flexibility really is something. I would like to see her hold some of her positions a little longer because it's clear she can do it, but that's not her fault.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing her compete again!
I really hope you're right because I think holding her positions a little more would emphasize her strengths a lot. She's still great though!Who knows, once Kamila grows more confident in her new free program, the choreo might be changed to emphasise these qualities in her skating? The sooner the better, let that routine breathe ...
One can be certain #TeamTutberidzeForProgress picks up on these things and uses their findings to maximise the routine's scoring potential.
Kamila has wiki page now:

I hope Kamila is OK. This gala wasn't a very good idea..
Yeah, I rather meant that it was generally a bad idea to hold this event. Late time, high altitude, insufficient lighting, three days in a row, just asking for trouble..A performance in the winners gala exhibition is compulsory for the pay out of your prize money. Barring illness or injury there is no escaping. Kamila knows the value of money, knows her parents invest in her skating, wants to earn some prize money to show gratitude in return. She is at work, and with work comes a salary, hard earned in the case of these child athletes.
