Please stop." I'll pay for postage service as well of course.
September 16, 20215 yr I just catch up. Only manage to watch Sasha and Alyona's skates so far. Sasha is impressive, although I don't really enjoy her programs or her skating skills/spins/etc and she seems like only trying to hit the quads, I can feel her competitive spirit and how determined she goes for the quads. Alyona was tentative with both her programs, and to be honest, subpar programs. I enjoy her skating skills as usual but programs were average and her soul wasn't here today. I think she's under lots of pressure to pull off the jumps esp 3A. Hope she can land it later, and show some spirit, at least like her Twilight FS.

The ISU lowered the BVs of the jumps after the OG18 to make the artistry more valuable (it's roughly what they said at the time) but that did not stop skaters to try more jumps. And people say it's the natural evolution of the sport.... OT: I believe Nathan Chen tried 6 quads at the OG18 FS? Just saying from memory as I don't watch much his performances. Shoma is going for 5 quads in his FS this year. I hope he will keep his artistry.
