... i guess you must be a mega fan of zhenya. she's one of my favourite skaters as well and i do tend to overlook the weaknesses of my favourites (i suddenly can't see anytime alina underrotates or when zhenya falls lol) but i think it would be reaching insane levels of denial to pretend that zhenya, a skater who has struggled with getting lvl 4s all season, somehow is the best skater in the world.
The struggle in levels have nothing to do with her quality of skating, its the technique that Brian has been tweaking in all her elements. This year will be up and down like that.
