Wakaba Higuchi and
Polina Turskaya, my ladies of the moment.

And
Mai Mihara is simply a delight. If only Karen Chen had kept her gorgeous
On Golden Pond sp and concentrated on crafting a worthy Olympic season fp ... if only. Marin Honda is promising, but she's not working on all cylinders yet. Alina Zagitova is NOT Kitri, nor is she a Swan exactly either. Her PCS are overdone before she's even found herself! Pogorilaya is the perfect Swan, but she visits Splatsville way too often.
Kaetlyn Osmond has got everything and I'm glad she went back to her sweet and quirky sp which she can perform in her sleep.

Ashley Wagner's swag always goes down satisfyingly, when she's on.
Carolina Kostner is the beautiful woman among the girls, who continues to show us how not to quit. Sadly Gabby Daleman's
Carmen has not turned out to be the boffo hit that she needs to find her way back to the top major international podium.
Medvedeva gets enough credit and attention and judges' gifts. At some point, Med should have been rescued from Eteri's teenybopper factory. I deplore how Eteri seems to be having the wondrous Turskaya copy the overly broad and unnecessary miming expressions that apparently they think work wonderfully for Medvedeva. NOT!
If only there was a way to unhunch Elena Radionova's shoulders, teach her how to use her arms with more grace and less like aircraft propellers.

And Radio also needs to improve her skating skills and learn how to increase her speed in and out of jumps. Some ballet classes wouldn't hurt her either. Who messed up with teaching this determined beauty better skating basics?
