Yes, our girl needs this!“Today I got a lower score than at the stage in Moscow, but it was deserved - the skating was really worse. My cascade was a little worse, there were some nuances in my spins. There was no blatant error and threat of failure during the spins, but it was not as good as in the second stage in Moscow."
It was more difficult for the athlete to perform at the Russian Cup stage in Sochi without spectators:
“It is much easier to perform with spectators. As a child, I dreamed of a lot of people looking at me in the big arena. And when you plunge into the atmosphere of your dreams, it gives you a lot of emotion and energy."
"I am actively learning the triple Axel every day, there are already improvements, I plan to learn it and insert it into the program soon."

Yes, the SP make-up was particularly heavy. I felt they could have laid off the eyeshadow and the contouring - she has lovely features, and very pretty eyes in particular. But perhaps it looks better from the audience and judges' perspective. Stage make-up can sometimes be A Lot. She also seems to like the look herself, as a shot from her SP is her new Instagram profile picture.I just love her skating. She was my favorite of the Ladies' event. I have a good feeling about her for some reason, I think she will be a force to reckon with in the Olympic season.
However, I must say I don't really like the way they were styling her at this competition (make-up especially). She looked like a 30 year-old out there.
