Let the skating begin

Tuk is back on the ice and landing her 3A just fine. She's in. IMHO, the fed will stick with Zag since she's been the most successful (until today) of all the eligible seniors, but the RusFed is ruthless. So who knows.Shockingly this was my first time watching Samodurova I know I'm a bad skating fan. Loved her!! Sass, musicality, charisma, consistent jumps, good spins. Great overall package. Plus she looks just like Hana Maskova from the 1960's. Very exotic looking with killer cheekbones.
Alina Watching those practice clips and her performance today and seeing the ridiculous reactions of her coaches is really starting to piss me off. Everyone knows she's struggling with body changes and no amount of berating as if she's the laziest girl out there, or huffing and puffing and rolling eyes at every mistake muttering to the heavens from Eteri and Daniil at the barrier is going to do a damn thing to help this girl. Such a stupid approach! Of course she wants to skate clean and keep winning but her body and mind won't let her. And the more they continue with this approach the more mental knots she will tie herself into. Soooooooo who will Alina go to next? Because I'll bet she won't be with Eteri next season
World team - surely only Samodurova is a lock?
Apparently some of you haven't seen Buianova and Kovtun in practice. Or some of the Japanese coaches.
