She also seems to admire and love Mishin though, which of course is understandable. So I don't see her leaving him in any way....In the competition thread, we had a bit of a discussion of Sofia's SP -- clean but slow -- and whether she can improve her speed and ice coverage under Mishin. I think he's a great coach and she's thriving with him, but unfortunately, those things are not his strengths. She strikes me as a smart and ambitious girl who knows what kind of competition she's facing, so I truly hope she can figure this out and find a way to get there. Everything else she does is so good, I just hate to see her lack of speed holding her back.
I didn’t get to see her LP performance. I just couldn’t do without sleep anymore but I will watch the videos. I also missed Bradie’s and Satoko’s. I wake up for the whole final flight.
I think it is a great accomplishment for Sofiato make the world team and finish in the top 10.
Sofia's been at Disney World today. She's got dozens of Instastories up.
First look at Sofia's Tango de Roxanne:

It's hard to tell, since she doesn't do the whole thing, but I think (I hope!) her ice coverage is looking a little better.
