still it doesn't make her underrated
To you. She's had a full junior career and people are allowed to have perceptions based on that.
still it doesn't make her underrated
Young You, Ting Cui, Kevin Aymoz, Yuhana Yokoi, Tomoe Kawabata.
I watch Young You's and Kevin's programs multiple times a week that is how much I enjoy their skating:luv17:
Only five...dang!
1. Kaetlyn Osmond - glad to see that she is referenced finally on this Board, as a complete skater. These types seem so rare these days
2. Josée Chouinard - one of the best lutz and natural performers ever in the sport
3. Cynthia Phaneuf - but how can we give her higher marks than our pre-event favs. Isn't she the number 2 in Canada?
4. Liz Manley - never mind with Liz, as THIS is the battle of the Carmens. Hey look, Kat's dress is causing a controversy and we need more feathers everywhere. Camera 2, she is tying her skates now and ...ACTION!
5. Joannie Rochette - she's Canadian eh, why give her marks she deserves, as they are always polite but never in the picture
To the referenced ladies above, thanks for breaking through those ceilings!
Among those three Alena is the one who treated best from RusFeds. Anna is the second and Sasha deep down below.
Looks like the domestic Board decided solid to always award her with least PCS possible. The International Board only followed.
Sasha wins when ALL her jumps are OK which rarely happens. Any single mistake and the hell gates opening.
A pity for her.
I don't think Sasha is under-rated. She is a phenomenal jumper and judges and fans alike laud her for it. Alena and Anna are probably more favored because they are much better all-around skaters. That doesn't mean Sasha is under-rated; it just means that for most, there's more to be excited about when it comes to the other two because they have difficult jumps and spins, artistry, presentation, etc. Sasha's jumps are the most explosive and awe-worthy in the field...but much of the rest of her skating isn't nearly as impressive next to the others.
Don't pity her though! Sasha and her quads will probably be laughing all the way to the top of every podium this year
I will add to the all mentioned skaters here Christina Gao.
Marin Honda is severely underrated in PCS. She gets low pcs when she makes many visual mistakes, normal, but there are skaters who still get high pcs no matter what. For visually clean or almost clean performances she should get way higher pcs. Her pcs for the following events are criminal: 2017 Skate Canada LP, 2017 CoC, 2018 Skate Canada SP, 2018 GP France SP.
