We'll have to agree to disagree, I guess. Sotnikova suffered an injury that required surgery. I'm hoping she comes back strong next season. TBH, she's never been one of my favourite skaters to watch, I'm rather indifferent to her, I just think she deserved the gold.

I love all the Russians this year, but my favourite is Liza Tuktamysheva. It's good to see a skater come back strong. I'm hoping she includes a 3 axel in her SP at Worlds. She seems to land it rather consistently in practice. It will be good to have a woman who does 3 axels, now that Mao is semi-retired.

Oh shit, seriously? I had no idea she does a 3A, that's awesome! (Oh my God, I started crying when Mao landed hers in the free skate--what sweet, sweet vindication.) Yeah, I watched Tuk at Euros and she's a gorgeous skater, no question. Very, very solid (in a good way, that's not a veiled slam). Solid as in you just know she's going to deliver. At least that's what I got but I don't know that much about her, I'm just starting to get to know the new Russians.

Poor Yulia, though--9th at Russian nationals??? The media should've just left her alone.

She tried it in competition for the first time last week at the Bavarian open. She fell, but it was fully rotated, so it actually scored more than a 2 axel. These videos are from the practice session at the Bavarian open:

She makes it look so effortless!

I'm really sad for Yulia. The pressure combined with the problems she had with her boots caused her to meltdown. :(
I hope she returns stronger next year. I don't particularly like her skating, at the moment, but I love her attitude.

I couldn't open the first link but the second...that's--that's incredible. Like, that's state of the art shit. I've never even *heard* of a 3A in combination--that is AWESOME!!!!

She does a textbook jump, not a hint of under-rotation.

She was actually landing 3 axels (in practice) since she was 13 and she apparently was doing 3 axels-3 toes, as well. But then the puberty monster hit and she had a couple of rough seasons. A lot of people wrote her off, but she came back better than ever. I give props to Mishin for her excellent technique and the way he supported her when she was in a slump. I think that has a lot to do with her confidence now.

da, but I loved reading the discussion between you two!

Ditto, it was marvelous even though I haven't kept up with figure skating at all and had no idea who these people are. Civil skating discussions are just lovely. :)
