Her triple lutz was beautiful. To me it looked like she had some hang time in the beginning.

I just realized there will be a fierce battle for the GPF at the GP in France. Konstantinova, Medvedeva, Kihira, Mihara and Tennell will all be fighting for what seems to be 2 places? And if Samodurova skates well tomorrow she might be in the mix too.
She needs to make improvements certainly...but I think it is more likely for her than any other currently skating senior (as your metrics seem to indicate). I mean at this stage the burden of proof is certainly on the skater so of course we are going to say the chances are low until there is video evidence. But that is not a Zagitova thing...if you are a pessimist when it comes to quads that is fine but your argument can basically sub out Zagitova for any other girl's name. Quads are hard. Especially for girls who are in the senior ranks/not like 13.

Guys, you are really in a hurry to discuss Alina's quads.
Daniil said to answer reporter's question about quads:
"Well, we actually tried it recently with harness. Sergey Viktorovich raised her up, of course, during the season it must be safe. We tried 4Lo and 4Lz. We will seriously condemn it at the end of the season. This is no time for risks."
so, only after months, coaches and Alina will discuss it, and may be the decision to try work on quads will be accepted.

Hello , does anyone have a link for Rostelecom Cup ? I am in Europe and isu live streaming is restricted
At practice she looked a bit tired. (Still trains like a demon though) Sofia looked great this morning.

I hope she is not tired. Thankx for yhe update.
An increase to 8 slots per discipline would be ideal.

Well, it was obviously about the successful jumps. In general, Zagitova also has a completely different aerial rotation which is far closer to Medvedeva's than Anna's, Trusova's or Akatieva's. In my eyes, it's far more realistic to assume skaters wouldn't be able to pull quads out of thin air than that they could.
... And "my bias is showing"? Just how? I remind you that Anna's actually able to jump quads.

Agreed. Why not 10 though? How many per discipline take part in the regular events like fee 1 in Moscow this weekend? I know it's a lot per discipline.
Honestly I always thought it was silly that the 2nd most important international event of the season (to me, at least) was over in an hour per discipline. Like, you can afford to hire the arena for a bit longer than that...
I actually asked Ted Barton about this, he said, Nope, never going to happen.

Did he say why? It makes me sad that either Zhenya or Sofia (or Kaori but she's not Russian) won't qualify to the final, or that in juniors two silvers wasn't enough for Anna Tarusina. Also - I think Tarusina is probably 8/9/10 on the ladies power list.

Then the Grand Prix final is never going to become bigger and more important than it is.

Over in an hour per discipline says it all. Ridiculous.

Well, you have the juniors too & for the ladies, they can be just as exciting if not moreso.

New Rostelecom Cup FAKE UR calls:

https://youtu.be/EIynTD_7168?t=342
3Lz+3T< UR call was fake. It seems they just don't want Sofia to be in GPF instead of Kaori.
https://youtu.be/q5bzQp185zU?t=182
Alina's 3F<+2T+2Lo UR call was fake as well.
Also her 3Lz<+3Lo combo was 90 degree UR and they can be less picky about that but they chose not to.
