August 7, 20188 yr I am torn about this. On the one hand - I am awed and amazed and on the other I am not comfortable of where we seem to be taking FS. Do I want the next quad to be full of 15-16 year olds jumping quads and have programs of very little artistic value? No I do not! Also how many bloody times is she jumping them in practice. I feel sorry for her hips and her body in general. Like why does she even need 3 quads? Just baffles the mind that she is doing this - not in a good way
August 7, 20188 yr Sasha's name is already written in history, she is remarkable and shocking. From what I' ve seen her FP is really good and suits her, after all it was only test skates.

August 7, 20188 yr I will be amazed if she can keep it through growth spurt, tbh. And well, I'm excited to see a progress in sport, but on the other side I don't want to see these girls killing themselves... and possibly artistic side of fs And why exactly is she doing 3 quads? But well, she definitely is amazing.

Just baffles the mind that she is doing this - not in a good way That's pretty much how I felt watching her program as well - I do want to see the ladies tackle quads but the rate at which she's going scares me. not to mention the nonexistent program between the jumps

We’re not asking for 3 quads with lots of transitions between them because we’re not asking for 3 quads in the first place And it is amazing but that doesn’t make it any less concerning

I love progress.

The problem is that this is very likey wrecking havoc on her body and also that figure skating isn’t just jumps jumps jumps and a program that only consists of jumps no matter how impressive will always be lacking in my eyes I admire her determination and of course her ability and I was actually cheering for her to challenge quads and drive the ladies field forward in that way, I just think it’s too much too quickly that’s all

I think it's great happiness to witness such big moment in figure skating history. Alena Kostornaya's FP

That is exactly what everyone is worried about, that all these unnecessary risks will cut her time short and hurt her at such a young age. She is truly amazing and I hope she stays safe to show her true potential, but to be honest I am not very optimistic. I also have the same feelings about Gogolev who I also think is too young for all the quads he is doing
