Kazakhstan, since it sadly looks like Tursynbaeva is done.Hmmmm... So what FSRs need a senior ladies skater? Moldova, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan...

Do we watch the same Trusova? I don’t think Trusova looks old enough to be anyone’s mother! Hopefully she won’t be for a few years.I love Veronika Zhilina! She looks like Trusova's mini-me. Trusova could be her mother.
Right. I did not mean her literal (biological) mother but rather her skate mother. A skate mother is someone you look up to and emulate.I am sure it was not what OP meant to say/said. Perhaps your take is far too rational.
There are better words for that: role-model or idol.Right. I did not mean her literal (biological) mother but rather her skate mother. A skate mother is someone you look up to and emulate.
Sounds more like a drag mother from a RuPaul series. As was posted below:Right. I did not mean her literal (biological) mother but rather her skate mother. A skate mother is someone you look up to and emulate.

Nobody cares! Lighten up! Surely there must be something of more substance to police/scoldThere are better words for that: role-model or idol.
Yeah nobody cares. Let's watch Maria Talalaikina again instead...Nobody cares! Lighten up! Surely there must be something of more substance to police/scold

So happy to see thisKostornaia got her 3A back:
Even her violin on ice was sad....Kazakhstan, since it sadly looks like Tursynbaeva is done.
I'm most happy to see her 3axel!!! That's the jump she really needs. A 3a in the SP and one in the LP will give her such a bonus with the rest of her quads. I could seriously see her do her LP as: 3a, 4f, 4s, 4ltz-2t//////// 4ltz(-3t), 4toe(-Eu-3sal), 3ltz(-3t or -3lp). The backloaded combos would have to be on an "As It Happens" situation. Aim for the 3t on the 4ltz in the second half which gets the most points. If she misses the first 4lz she can then do two 4toes in combo, replacing the second 4lz. Then she can use the final 3lutz to put in whatever combination she wants (-3lp/3t/2t). We already know that Sasha always comes out fighting hard early season, and seems to lose her edge come later competitions. But I'd LOVE her to compete this program cleanly just to see how she scores.3 clips of Trusova practicing in Chelyabinsk: https://www.instagram.com/p/CTmpRhsoxIP/
It's blues. From what I've seen of the program, it really suits her.the music though, I hear a wailing sound ?

I was getting a feeling though this time that her 3axel is more secure. She looked like she owned the jump in the clip and not just landed it.Me too but I don’t want to get too excited because we also saw her performing many successful 3axels at Worlds practices before the awful SP.
It is my sincere wish that SashaI was getting a feeling though this time that her 3axel is more secure. She looked like she owned the jump in the clip and not just landed it.
Fingers crossed for the Test skates tomorrow/ Sunday...then on a plane to Boston for the US Classic! Can you believe that this is all happening soon? Whee!I was getting a feeling though this time that her 3axel is more secure. She looked like she owned the jump in the clip and not just landed it.
Thanks for posting. Sasha looks like she has grown really tall, yet her jumps look more secure than ever. I normally prefer the more lyrical skaters, but I just love her fierceness and raw athleticism. I really hope this is her year.Russia One channel’s 17-minute spot previewing tomorrow’s women’s SPs, including substantial parts of all top skaters’ programs. Enjoyable in any language! :

I also found the official YouTube link to Russia One’s coverage of tomorrow’s test skates. This is likely the original Russian-lang version. I’m sure that our FSU Kiss & Cry forum will have the English edition (Ted Barton comments) & details on timing, order of skaters, etc.
