That would seriously be hilarious if the first to land the 4A was a junior lady. 

The girl hasn't got 3A, for crying out loud...

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

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.

Yeah, yeah, I didn’t say it was likely, but if it were to happen I’d be giggling for days.. WEEKS.

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.

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

She is only 14, do we really ask for programs with 3 quads and lots of transitions between them? we should give her some time. what she's doing is not just amazing, it's revolutionary.

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

What's the problem if she can do those 3 quads. 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 agree, I don't like just jumps, but I see that Sasha has huge potential and strong character,  she will improve, just give her some time. 

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

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
