The rule for repetition means doing a combo only applies for triples and quads.

Judge #2 was really generous in giving Kanysheva’s three-jump sequence only -1, seeing as it had both a UR and a step out.

Digital flagsnot good and strange
Indeed...at least Sasha had in her bag a true flag, worthy of these two amazing skaters to make a victory lap with it. :clapper:
With IdF, the hot mess has gone from embarrassing to amusing. I can’t wait for it now. As long as the ice is good, though.

The only problem today is she moved her jumps around in the beginning and was a bit off the jump cymbals. She is so damn gutsy. All weekend she has been crashing on the 4L, she didn't need it to win, and yet, she somehow makes it happen. I thought the coach my order her to take it out, but nope. Add to this that rumor has it she has been ill, it looked like she hurt her hand on a bad fall in warm up. Trusova is just Fierce. Fierce. Fierce.

On Sasha's FS, I actually think it's quite amazing. a totally contemporaneous program. Especially everything leading up to the last Flip until the end. I think the music is really great for her.
There were many parts that were well performed. And she clearly listened to the music. it's a perfect program for Sasha to emphasize on her strengths.

She looked great today even considering how tired she was fighting that cold/fever. Her performance was great and I love the choreography. She looked tired in the StSeq but hit the accents of the music really really well. Great choice of a music/theme to display an athletic genius like Sasha IMO. It’s a perfect fit!

I love that Sasha's mother and grandmother came out to see her in Armenia and she really laid it down

Me on Sasha’s FS:
1st time watching it: hmmm... ok, then.
2nd time: this is... interesting.
3rd time: this program is weird and I love it!
LMAO

"Ay Chihuahua"
Yes. Every time I see it, I like it better. I think it is the perfect program for her, I love the music, even the cuts of the music. And while people scream about Eteri choreography, I like the choreography. It screams Fierce, and Trusova. It is fun and exciting.

Why are we giving this kind of music to a 14 year old?
Totally agree with you guys. A theme about strippers is totally inappropriate for a girl of that age.
On the other hand, 2 of my 3 favourite routines to "Burlesque" were from when the skater in question was 16:
Adelina Sotnikova - 2012 Russian Championships FS
Adelina Sotnikova - 2012 Skate America EX
Adelina may have been young - only 2 years older than Bristena - but she was mature enough to be able to really sell it to us. Bristena wasn't, I'm afraid.
And here is my other favourite routine to "Burlesque", from a skater who was 26 at the time:
Akiko Suzuki - 2011 Grand Prix Final EX
You need maturity to do "Burlesque". As one of the oldest skaters on the circuit, Akiko certainly had that. But, Akiko also has a young spirit, and she was able to bring fun and excitement to it. And in Bristena's routine, you could see this attribute coming through. But, she needed the maturity as well.
Once Bristena develops both of these attributes, this theme will work better. But, right now, it doesn't.

I remember this song!
But, I'm only a couple of years younger than you.Never made the connection that this was the same Mandy Moore that is now famous as an actress. So, thank you for that.
I've been impressed with Caya's performances in her Junior GP's. I hope we get to see more of her as the season goes on.
For me, Ilayda has been the revelation of what I have seen of this season's Junior GP Series. It has been a few years since I last saw her, but she has changed so much between then and now. There is a real maturity now about her and her skating.
Which is why "Por Una Cabeza" works for her. OK, so she's not quite got to the Anna Pogo level of seductiveness (who could?!), but at least Ilayda's seductive looks are believeable. The same can't be said for most of the younger skaters that try it.
Such a pity she had the fall early on in the FS yesterday. Because the skating was so good otherwise.
I am really looking forward to seeing her in Seniors next season (or even later this season)
