This PCS the Russian girls are getting makes me write to Mao and say "go back into retirement and enjoy your love".
That is not a nice thing to say.

Or saying it another way, she does it in more than half of her jump passes. No, it's distracting, and she's ONLY doing it to garner better GoE. It's not even very aesthetically pleasing the way she does it, bending her arm at a 90 degree angle above her head. Go look at the people who do the tano variation well. They hold their arm like a ballet arm.
I agree with winky97. The ISU needs to limit it, like they did after Slutskaya used a Bielmann position is basically every spin that year.

Tanos. Last year I hated all tanos. But this time Evgenia's tanos do not bother me in the same way. But will it be harder to make tanos when she grows more mature? Interesting to see. I hope that only a couple of tanos would be rewarded in points.
By saying this, you imply that Adelina got high PCs because of the name, nationality ..., but this just isn't true. Are you really saying that you did not see a difference between her and the rest? I do not want to make this into a fight about Adelina vs. someone else, so I will not go into this any further, or look for weak spots at other skaters by naming and shaming them, but there are a lot of different aspects to consider when we talk about the complexity of PCs. As example, you can have skaters who prepare their jumps for such a long time, that the whole program is interrupted. Sure they might land the jumps clean, but is this really fun to watch? Then you can have skaters who are constantly out of character whenever something more difficult comes along. Then others always look onto the ice, have poor posture, are slow while the music is fast ...

It is easier to perform with easy tech content, try to do the same with 7 triples & difficult combos. That's why PCS do correlate to TES to some degree and justly so.
Adelna's PCS were over the top but we all knew that was going to happen.
Russian Nationals & team selection will be very interesting indeed
I agree that Polina has beautiful upper body movement and increasing body awareness (a slightly awkward stage, which was more evident last season, is normal for a girl that experiences a growth spurt). I don't love her LP dress but let's face it, it's hardly the worst thing I've ever seen. It's more just kind of okay, rather than truly awful. I find the Gone With the Wind music and choreography more forgettable than bad.
Polina's biggest problem is her lack of power. She is noticeably slow over the ice, which probably is part of her problem in underrotating her jumps. This is where I think she really needs to work.
I'm going to form a new band and name it "Adelina's PCS". No one will ever stop talking about us

I would like to show everyone a tano that is actually nice to look at: https://youtu.be/q4si5N5Zz28?t=25s
Let's recommend other tano jumps that are beautiful or memorable!

There was talk about Zhenya not receiving an edge call on her lutz. Judge Wapamatron got a few calls to take the case and even with all of the incriminating footage I supplied him with his final decision is that it should have received just a " ! " and not a full " e ". Especially when considering the previous cases as a being precedent this season. Judge for yourself. Maybe you can appeal the decision.

Radionova is the one who should get an edge call on her lutz (and her flip too). Watch her takeoff. It should be at least a !That camera ankle is tricky I guess I'd still give it an e, but I wouldn't complain either if it was a !. It definitely should have gotten some edge call, especially compared to Elena, Adelina and Rika all getting one.
And a ! should have lowered the GOE and given Elena the LP win. And all would be well for me
