Now THAT was funny.A peek at Trusova’s jumps in Norwood-Boston, ahead of the US Classic. The low-voiced reactions by the guy taking this film is half the fun.

Akatayeva is not a cookie cutte low jump Eteri.
No. Kosternaia still has her beat from her SP at the 2018 JGPF.75.89 as junior world record ?

can she skate at russian seniors ?
then she might win nationals too
I have Brian Orser's quote as my signature because he was belittling Sasha and her quads four years ago saying they wouldn't last. He would know since he's an expert, right? LOL. Nevermind that at the time he was coaching 13 y/o Gogolev who was also doing multiple quads.... but Orser said he was doing it 'the smart way'. Sure, bud. Where are Gogolev's quads now, Bri?
Some people said the same about Trusova losing her jumps, now they are even better
Akatiyeva has good technique in her jumps including quads and axels, not even comparable to Valieva.
i actually agree with this as well. i like a lot of Eteri's skaters and have over the years. That said, Akateva is my least favorite. I find her quite stiff, although this is improving, and in general terms, her jumps are quite low. She's just not very free flowing.
By the time next Olympics come, Akatieva will be 18. The timing for the Olympics have not been kind to her. She may not be in her top peak in four years time. She will be in the role of Medvedeva, possibly worrying that another 15 year old (who is now 11 and may not even be standing out among her peers yet) will beat her.
It's the same timing as Alyona Kostornaya. Sure, her peak might be 16 or 17, but maybe the minimum age will be raised to 16 or 17 by then? What would be a total heartbreak is if the Olympics are pushed back a year like the Summer Games, and Sofia would have been only EIGHT days too young to compete. My birthday is 7/7 also. If I was a precocious skater, I'd be furious too!
Yes, 3F combo instead of 3S. And then take out the second 3A and add a 4Lo instead.
the receipts done lie
Yes, but it isn’t particularly great timing for Kostornaya either, is it! It means having to be 3 years in seniors and that can be quite a long time to keep competitive in packed environment such as Russian ladies field. (I know some skaters manage to last in senior Russian ladies for quite a few years, for example Tuktamysheva, but on the other hand, out of 11 years of senior career she has been only three times at worlds, twice at europeans and no olympics.)
I don't think she Needs a 3A in the LP. She has five quads. Even if she lands three of them cleanly she is in good shape. She will get some credit for the two she did not land well. The SP is another story. She must land the 3A in it to get in the final group for the LP.
I don't know that Sasha NEEDS to land the 3A in the SP in order to make the final group for the FS. Maybe, in a perfect storm scenario where Tukt, Valieva, You, and Kihira all land the 3A in the SP, who else is she going to be behind? At the Olys, Worlds or Euros there will only be 3 Russians. Maybe Liu? Hendrickx? Maybe Chen or Sakamoto? Beyond that, if she is just barely in 7th or 8th by a point or two, that's not going to keep her from winning the whole dang thing with 5 quads in the FS. She earned a bronze at Worlds from 12th place after the SP, for goodness sake.
It's SASHA, for heaven's sake Toobe! She knows it exists, and will try it! lolYes, 3F combo instead of 3S. And then take out the second 3A and add a 4Lo instead.
Or better still, start with the 4Lo and end with the 4F. Now that would be maximizing the BV to the limit.
I have it on good authority that Orser had to seek counselling after seeing your signature, as it was only after seeing how right you were that he realized he was nothing more than a shell of a man.
Well Gogolev defected to Arturyan after losing his jumps.
Why cut it too close? If she landS the 3A in the SP, it could put her in driver's seat (provided of course she lands the other jumps too - don't laugh at me please!)
And he only meant you. Dear Maxsim. Poor you. You aren't event flowing with this verse... Duh dUH, Dhe DUH! Poor loser in life and in music....
Since Gogolev left Brian several years ago to train with Raf, maybe you should ask Raf that question?
