Tito had an issue on the combination (she put her foot down), and so she lost the whole combination which is absolutely brutal in terms of points, but if you didn't know much about the rules, you'd be surprised at why her score is so low because the skate really wasn't bad.I see that Veronika Zhilina managed to bury herself again in the standings. Still, she's 8 points away from first place. If she lands all her jumps and Gorbacheva don't, she can close the gap.
I'm surprised by Titova bombing her SP. I think i didn't see her bomb her SP this season.
Lebedeva skated really well.
Neither needed a SP triple axel, and it is a stupid risk. (damn you Plushy) Leave it for the FS. They need to work with Veronika to emot and inhabit the music a bit better-she always has sort of a 'dead face'. I think part of this is nerves, but I also wonder about burn out-she has been a serious figure skater with a coaching mother since the age of 2. As talented as one might be (and she is), It would be impossible to admit, in her world, that she just doesn't enjoy skating anymore. I've known plenty of super talented kids in America who just quit. Done. They hate the stress of competing and training. But Nika really doesn't have that option, and it looks less and less like she enjoys it at all. (And I always think her particular skill set would have been of better used in artistic gymnastics).I see that Veronika Zhilina managed to bury herself again in the standings.

I mean, to be fair, Nika has always had that dead expression when skating, even as a little kid. I think she just really struggles to emote facially, even off the ice. I think the most expressive I've seen her was with her Harley Quinn short last season, so perhaps they should try to give her more fun programs like that.Neither needed a SP triple axel, and it is a stupid risk.

They shouldn't becasue she's probably the least suitable skater for fun programs..I mean, to be fair, Nika has always had that dead expression when skating, even as a little kid.
