That score! She has at least one 10 in the PCS!

 

What a season start, oh brilliant! What a skater she is! Her head is something else.

 

Really, though. Regarding those therapy sessions I was recommending to Yuzuru beforehand... how about having those with zhenia right here?

She should bottle that headspace and sell it. Yuzu will be the first in line.

Her strength is consistency... jumps good, spins good.... nothing outstanding, but when you never falter..... and add transitions every second.... no wonder she wins. 

 

I wrote this recently somewhere, but honestly? It's her head.

She has the head we haven't seen in a long time, that mental state is akin to what Plushenko had. That is her greatest asset.

Quoted for truth. Her consistency is just mind-boggling. Yes, it feels like I'm watching the same programs every year. I hate to say it, but that's how it feels. I still enjoy watching it, though. 

 

Excuse me now, I need to check out that gypsy dance ballet piece. I am sure I *must* have seen it at least twice in my life, in real life, even, so why it doesn't ring any bells with me is quite beyond me. 

I must say that a competition where the score generally comes down to underrotations and edges is pleasant to watch.

So great.Greater if that voice bit gets removed, but well.

Oh Yuzu can achieve it...but he's a feeler first and foremost, and probably thinks too far ahead, he needs to learn to just do it one step at a time cause that will calm him down (that was chopin ACI and Helsinki H&L, and even GPF15 Seimei). But for her,  her normal state is probably more calm, cool and Yuzu's helsinki mode. She trusts her training, he's still overthinking his training. 

I would give her similar pcs to Caro or even abit lower. On the transition she has no rival and deserve the highest, but the rest of the component, I would give it to Caro.

I like this version best. 

 

Yup, it is her head. plushenko like... stojko like... 

 

For me, she is not necessarily the best skater, i do not see anything special in any of her elements, but she is the best competitor by far!!!!!!!!!!!

There is a reason why I love Yuzu and am not a fan of Medvedeva. Yuzu could learn some of her consistency, but I would rather not at the cost of anything that makes him Yuzuru Hanyu.
