It was excellent program . she is well done without first 3A. this program have story .and she could play that role very very well!! I love this program.
congrats on your medal Rika! i enjoy very few skates from the ladies and yours is definitely the most i enjoy watching.. though i really wanted you to have the gold.. but no matter, from your interviews i gather you're a smart girl and you have decided on what to do so just do your own thing and hopefully victory will follow.. Rika ganba!
у меня сложилось ощущение, что произвольная это продолжение короткой! настолько они похожи! движения, пластика, музыка, костюмы! интересный конечно стиль, но ну очень похожи!
I like Trusova and by points she did win, but to be honest I'd watch Rika over her anytime. Figure skating is an artistic sport, not a jumping match between little poles. If I want a competition of just points, I'd just watch darts or something. 🤷♀️
У Рики ,как и у Косторной short and free программы имеют продолжение- взаимосвязь ! Шаман в синем огне перекочевывает из короткой в произвольную до середины последней ,а после воплощается в индийскую культуру .
@@ReginaFarfalla Trusova had also a fall and her PCS were outrageously inflated... 67 in PCS for her are a joke, so the difference in points in my opinion should've been even lower.
I find ridiculous that in this competition there is no control about 4 jumps. Trusova is 15 but has a body of a 10 Y. O., I'm not saying she is not a good athlete but she is very far from being a skater. This sport is not only jumps, her programs are only jumps, one after another. Is not figure skating, is gymnastics on ice. Isu need to take action about it, it is simply ridiculous that she, which is still a junior even if she is competing with senior, has won this completion and will win all the others in this season just because of the 4 jumps. Her sp is average because no quads are allowed. Think about that. There must be a limit in women competion about the amount of 4 jumps. To me, Rika is a more complete skater and this must be take into account.
Even though I agree with you that figure skating is so much more than jumps, that Rika is much better as an artist etc, I would like the same limit for the men as well then. It's a shame to criticise only women doing loads of quads when the men does it all the time, sometimes with the same result (aka when Jin Boyang and Nathan Chen first appeared on senior level).
Rika gave my favorite performance in the event in terms of smooth skating skills, speed, excellent edging and step sequences, flexible spins with picturesque positions and fine posture. I think Sasha is an outstanding jumper and an able performer, but to me one of the problems overall and not just in this event is that the judges provide a very narrow separation of scores in PCS and don't distinguish much based on the stated criteria. They keep a narrow difference in PCS scores regardless of the criteria and sometimes even give higher PCS scores to skaters with inferior skills sometimes so that the score is only decided by tech score. If they gave a greater distinction in quality based on the stated criteria the results would not be so lopsided for tech. The 6.0 system had many problems and often higher artistic scores were given to skaters with less artistry or inferior skating skills but at least there was a possibility of giving a skater with superior artistry and skating skills higher overall scores. Whatever the case, the attraction in figure skating was never really it's competitive aspect in terms of how the judges scored it, but in terms of what performances impressed me most. So, I watch for my favorite performances and try my best to disregard the scores because the scores often don't reflect the qualities I think are the best as is the case here, but I think everyone else should be able to decide for themselves what they like best as well. It is this subjective element that makes figure skating so problematic as a sport with a winner or loser because it shares so many elements of appeal that art, music and other performance arts have. To me, Mao and Rika have given the most well rounded and impressive performances I have seen and this fine performance by Rika is a great example of her excellence.
Figure skating is about skating and jumping Sasha ‘s peformance let me remember lipinski beating Michelle Kwan at Olympics So,history shall be repeated and don’t be upset Health and puberty always dominate the life period of a skater ,especially ladies figure skating
@@ReginaFarfalla I'm not criticising her. I agree, if she would have been a boy she would have gotten a higher component score. However, compared to Alena K for example, she lacks in skating skills and transitions, which hopefully will come the older she gets. I love how she challenges the men who thinks mens figure skating is all about quads and that separates them from the women. However, I love well-rounded skaters like Alena and Jason Brown and Trusova at the moment lacks that kind of refinement. But as the starter of the thread said, that ISU should set a limit for quads in women's figure skating, that hypocrisy. In that case, I want the same rule for the men as well.
Sasha is a strong girl. Don't ask for more artistry because if she listens to you and adds more artistry and components to her programs, her overall scores will go to 300.
