Placing 8th, 7th and 9th at worlds and 10th at Olympics would be considered by current Russian ladies standards as a failure, not as a success.@oleada among that “whole lot of nothing” was also Ksenia Makarova, who managed 3 top 10 finishes at Worlds and one at the Olympics, plus a GP medal. Certainly not up to the current medal streak, but a bit more than “nothing.”

How does she? Her components are still lower than Sotskova's and she is not yet consistent.
Hey, Ksenia Makarova was 10th at the Olympics and Top 10 in all three Worlds in which she competed.
Where is @Jeschke ?I totally forgot she existed
Here I am! And I won't even comment on the sacrilegeWhere is @Jeschke ?
+ national champ in 2010, over babies Sotnikova and Tuktamysheva. Makarova was a breath of fresh air at senior events in 2010. She was so tall with nice lines and feet, fairly consistent jumps, and a big smile when she was skating well, which was often!
She most definitely had one of the best sps of the decade too!!+ national champ in 2010, over babies Sotnikova and Tuktamysheva. Makarova was a breath of fresh air at senior events in 2010.

Maybe something like, 'Are you hurt?' or putting an arm around her could have worked....
So I’m not sure. If Tsareva didn’t want Anna to compete but Anna was stubborn and insisted on going anyways, I don’t really blame Tsareva for being mad. But there could be more to the story.
Slowly, but surely.Sima
Sakhanovich just beat Konstantinova in the SP at the Warsaw cup. She won the SP with the highest TES,
If Polina nails her jumps at SA and gets the last spot, Eteri will have 7/12 ladies in GPF (juniors and seniors combined)
Am I the only one who prefers Zagitova to Medvedeva? That girl has spunk and fire and Medvedeva's "acting" has never done anything for me
