It sure is impressive, but why?
To wow at some random novice local competition?
It seems too much pounding on young bones, knees and hips.

Little interview with Anna! https://youtu.be/jvAcre-62rc
... [snipped a lot of interesting stuff]...
5. Wakaba- I was glad to see her back, but I couldn't figure out why I used to like her skating so much. She was just a mess in practice, seriously. I was shocked that she went clean in the LP, and I'm sure the judges were too. Probably explained her low scores. So she laid down a strong program which should give her confidence this season....

You mean the SP, right? Her LP was far from clean.

I really wish they would forbid the judges from attending the practices and warm-ups. They can take their seats immediately before competition each flight starts. Especially because it's so random. Some are there watching and even filming the practice days. Others not. For those who would say, but they can watch the skaters in any case, that's not the point. Of course they will be familiar with the skaters (to a varying degree). But to sit there watching a skating falling about in a practice (or not) is bound to send subliminal messages to their inner-held prejudices.

I'm home from Las Vegas. Fun trip. Quickly lost $20 in the slots and that was my gambling allowance! My thoughts about the ladies event:
1. Shcherbakova- Her -loop combos in practice are rarely UR. Too bad she had problems with the URs. I wish she had more power in her jumps, especially in her -3sal. Her scores speak for themselves, she's wonderful, but I wish she'd work on her spins. It seems she likes doing the back camel in her spins, but it is slow, ill-positioned and brings the spin down. I was surprised how weak a spinner she is. She really needs to improve on them, Trusova is Lucinda Ruh compared to her. She was very consistent with her 4lz in practice, but no 4t or 4f attempts. I'd love to see her just SKATE correct crossovers, but she has her own stylized way of doing crossovers. I think her skating would stand out more if she had crisp clean crossovers. I'm okay with her frame, I danced for years, I'm used to really thin. She looks all of 38 kilos. She's clearly made her mark now. Practically bought her ticket to Euros and Worlds already. She is an amazing performer.

Doubt it. All 3As have insane technical content but Zagitova is Olympic and reigning World champion so someone has to be left behind

Maybe it’s an old pic

Alexandra in intensive training for her GP debut in Canada.
Don’t you think her spins have improved though? They are better compared to Lombardia. Especially the layback & biellmann. Her flexibility is always amazing, and she is working on centring and speed in that back camel. The fly camel looked less scary
:/ my dream team is Alina Anna and Alena, but no way they leave Sasha off even if she bombs at nationals. Russia truly deserves more spots, wish they can take Kazakhstan’s this year now that Elizabet is injured
