Hey guys, as you know I'm a big fan of Anna Pogorilaya. She had an impressive showing at the European championships, coming in 3rd with 2 strong programs, but overall she was 17-18 points behind her teammates. She is likely to compete at the World Championships and with good skates has a good chance to place in the top 6 and maybe even medal.
My question is, where does she go after this season? What does she need to stay relevant as Serafima, Evgenia, and Maryia become seniors next season? Anna struggled a bit with consistency this season but is handling the troubling age of 16 quite well compared to others. Her skating is fast and powerful, she has nice jumps that are fully rotated, and she can do the tough combos (3lz-3t, 3lo-1lo-3s) well. She also has an elegant look on the ice with her long limbs and is presumably post puberty, meaning she has a good chance of keeping her jumps. With this kind of talent it would be a shame to see her disappear in the deep Russian field. Do people think she can stay relevant and continue to make Euro/World teams skating for Russia? If so what does she need to solidify herself at a top 3 Russian lady?
