The program makes Shoma's look complex. But BV skating is a valid strategy, so long as skaters don't get gifted PCS for something they didn't do...
December 25, 20214 yr Respect for Trusova. What a fighter she is. Happy for her. I have a soft spot for her despite the fact that I usually love skaters with the total package as opposed to just jumps. For some reason she works for me.

Based on how they skated today I think Trusova no doubt deserves to go to the Olympics. wonder if she beats Anna lol the tradition of the not-yet-senior skaters outjumping the senior skaters at russian nationals continues
December 25, 20214 yr Looks like we're not going back to a time when ladies didn't need quads to be competitive. Just hope it doesn't lead to an epidemic of short careers
December 25, 20214 yr I reall like Samodelkina. She's a bit different. How nice to see a Russian female skater who has quads who isn't' coached by Eteri or choreo'd by Daniil.

But it's just a guess.
