wow! no question on rotation at all, nice flow in and out too. If she gonna put it in her SP her score gonna be massive
She’s trying to match Rika Kihira’s tech score. This girl is really upping her game. :thumbsup:

Konstantinova is wildly inconsistent. Not even that, she is consistent at messing up.
Her skate at Helsinki was basically the cleanest she ever skated in ages. She is like Misha Kolyada, has some goods but always makes mistakes.
Of course, people are not entirely convinced.
Sasha is so determined to get her jumps right. Today during the Sambo-70 exhibition, she did Kill Bill and missed the combo on her 3Lz-3Lo, and after her program ended, she just would not leave the ice till she managed to land a 3Lz-3Lo. Alina (performing right after) was warming up and Sasha was just there attempting 3Lz-3Lo after 3Lz-3Lo. After another fall (or maybe two? I’m not sure because the camera was on Alina), she landed a perfect one and the audience cheered very loud for her, and that was when Sasha finally left the ice.
Judges really tried to help Konstantinova today :/They should be convinced today.
I am also convinced Evgenia needs a new SP. She cannot focus on the performance and the jumps at the same time. Today was not good at all.

She is too nervous for the SP right know :/ it is a happy and sassy song. I hope she gets more confident or they change it soon.
I say keep the tango, scrap the SP and do something classical.

Unfortunately, it's too late; today he had the opportunity to qualify for the GPF and extend his career as a skater and he squandered it, practically today he said goodbye to the Grand Prix assignments in 2019 and with that he said goodbye to his career. We will see if tomorrow also Medvedeva says goodbye to her career as a Russian skater. Zagitova, Tuktamysheva and Samodurova will continue in 2019, no matter what happens at the end of the season, they will be joined by the trio of Tutberidze plus Tarakanova and a couple of juniors with good level. It's sad, but the rest of the Russian ladies will simply be left out.
Anastasia’s coaching change to Plushenko seems to be really paying off! We are seeing her performance level and confidence improve. I hope she continues as one of Plushenko’s Angels for several seasons. Her 3-3 is still improving but the rest of her jumps seem to be better than ever.
This performance today really shows her taking steps to achieve a new level of performance. You can see flashes of that Plushenko flare starting to appear.

PS:I’d love to see a pic or video of her and Yulia at the Academy while Yulia is there

I really, really, really hope Zagitova and Medvedeva make the 2022 olympics team. Everytime they perform it's "Alina is done, she can't jump anymore! Always UR!" and "Medvedeva is a failure! Orser ruined her!"
Sometimes I wonder if people are just eager to count skaters out. Both girls have it hard this season. But we've seen comebacks, this season alone Liza has shown she's a force to be reckoned. And she's still upping her tech content. Evgenia is struggling, yes. Alina is fighting through her changing body. In no way does that mean both girls are done and off the team next year.
Medvedeva will not stop skating, she will only stop skating for Russia, she will skate for Canada, for USA, even for Armenia, but for Russia she will no longer have the opportunity with the enormous number of highly talented juniors who go up to senior. And do not compare her with Tuktamysheva, Tuktamysheva jump 3-Axel years ago, she does not evolve her PCS but the jumps are still there; instead, what jumps has Medvedeva to fight with the Russian ladies?
Can you also ask your crystal ball to help me predict which startups I should invest in, so I can get that IPO money? Thanks!
