Figure Skating: Because This Forum Can't Only Be About Tennis

Trusova at World Juniors landing a 4S and a 4T

Yeah, I saw that, and all she can do is jump (although I'm pretty sure she pre-rotated on both quads). Everything else is pretty terrible. She almost stopped during one of her spins, and she has zero sense of musicality.

I stopped watching during the first spin, to be honest.

I don't really enjoy women's figure skating all that much, though. The skaters with musicality tend to be headcases or without a strong technical base.

Even with those quads it very much looks like a 13yo skating. And the score would have been enough for 4th place at the Olympics. So yeah, the scoring system is shit.

Kostner leads after the short program. It really was a beautiful skate.

Interesting. I'll have to watch. Zagitova skated fairly cleanly, but had an edge issue I guess?

Osmond won; Zagitova fell three times.

I read that. I think we all need to band together to rescue Zag from Eteri. If you told me she was the devil in human form, I might believe it.

[Dr.ciski77]

That was shocking.

Considering the season Zagitova had, it isn’t too surprising. On some level it had to all catch up with her.
