Malinina

I don't think I've ever seen her pre-1999 skates until this year

-3z-2t nice height on the 3z
-3f
-somewhat weird position on the combo spin
-nice 2a
-positions in spirals not as secure as Gusmeroli
-there's something lacking in the presentation as well

neat and clean

 

[alchemy void]

Can’t imagine a jump combo better than this.

Chris likes Lavrenchuk's more

[ldec]

Malinina had a gorgeous technique (when she didn't bomb), should be used as a textbook example on jumps - 5.7/5.5

We are not so far apart for now!

Paurova is an early Perkova!

 

[alchemy void]

Paurova kind of looks like Perkova. Except she had a loop.

 

[alchemy void]

Love this music and attack from Paurova!

 

[Clay]

Does anyone remember how we referenced Paurova as “the breast milk always rises to the top” due to her being a mother and skating with a bib ?

Perkova reaction to end too

5.7/5.8 from UZB

(actually 5.0/5.0)

 

[her grace]

Paurova

-3r-2t
-2a
-she seems tilted on her jumps, but she lands them
-good centering on flying spin
-3s good
-throwaway Euro spiral sequence
-nice spins

not a lot of presentation

Yes! The Babiakova era!

 

[Jeschke]

5.7/5.8 from UZB

good lord, is she making top3 in your list?!
speak now!

 

[ldec]

Never seen Paurova. She seemed to skate with energy and speed but her carriage and choreo leave to be desired.
5.3/5.1

[alchemy void]

Perkova + Granny = Paurova

The resemblance is crazy!

 

[her grace]

Judges see quality issues in Puarova and I agree

Paurova

Paurova

.1 on recentering combo spin

Lower difficulty but less deductions.

5.2 5.2

 

[Jeschke]

I really missed Brit Eurosport this year.
Their commentry at 98 worlds ladies SP was maybe the best about the event

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

Carter is just kind of flinging herself around the rink

She can be lucky my scores are already in. I would score her way lower now I think

Carter

-I don't like her crossover technique
-2z-2t *not the required element
-3r with wide swinging leg on landing
-she's speedy
-dreadful spiral sequence
-some thoughtful use of musical highlights in the choreography, steps and spins match neatly with music
2a- just
