I love it when Alyona lets her hair down at medal ceremonies, she does really look like Juliet
Eteri is getting a medal too or what is happening?

Wait, Anna S is taller than Sasha?
Is Eteri getting a medal again now that it's the 3A's turn?

bit boring though
Alena Kanysheva has one boring free program. Reminds me of standard boring routines to classical pieces that were popular among Japanese skaters until quite recently.
Finally, A junior Russian Trío going to Worlds that can sweep the podium.
Well, Alena Kanysheva‘s FS is one of my favorites this season. Either I have incredibly bad taste or boring is subjective. For me, not everyone has to rely on flashy, wild music and weird cuts. Maybe that‘s more unique but it can quickly be overdone too. Alena is more subtle in her skating but she‘s elegant and she has a calming and mature presence despite still being very young. Some people prefer that. That being said, she still has lots of room to grow and I doubt this program will turn out to be the best of her career. She‘s only 13 after all.
That‘s not... explainable. And only 3 points difference from Alena ?? I mean, I‘m happy for Sasha but this is ridiculous.
Take it as boring is subjective. I like when someone tell stories, I like pashion, I like strong music. When someone is doing elements to a slow classical piece - for me it's boring.
This is not a comment on Sasha at all (she’s super talented and deserves a lot rather it is a comment on the judging and the IJS), but it’s a disgrace, considering the level of difference in the components. I would put Alena almost at least a point higher on all parts of the components at the very least.
I’m on a mobile and just used a free WiFi hot spot to watch the YouTube link provided and worked well.
