Regarding this European Championship, Camilla Valeva's short program skated well, and the free skating performance was average, and there was not much to say. Sasha Trusova's strategy is clear, she wants to win, but under the stability of the four jumps and the content score of the show is far behind Camilla's expectations, she can only gamble with crazy difficulty. The short show's three-and-a-half weeks (3A) still failed, and she was free to slip sloppily, but in any case, she was still the only contestant who could theoretically pose a threat to Camilla, and she would set herself on fire in every race, taking off at full speed, whether it was flying out of the sky or disintegrating in the air, she had no regrets and went forward.
What really got me to say in this game was, of course, the fragile Ania Serbakova. As the defending world champion, as the most successful player in the Russian women's singles in this Winter Olympic cycle so far, she has not received enough respect from some people, and in the past half a month since she won the bronze medal at this year's All-Russian Championships, she has heard too many calls in the media, in the Russian figure skating community and ice fans that Tutamusheva should be included in the Winter Olympic list more than Ania.
Although these calls completely ignore the fact that Tutamusheva lost the short program at the All-Russian Championship and Ania defeated Tutamusheva head-on to win the world championship, in this trend of "anti-genius girls" who cannot defeat them on the field and add to their public opinion, Anya on the cusp of the storm also seems to have lost herself in the short program.
In order to strive for 10% of the second half of the jump, Ania, who has no three and a half weeks, can only put the extremely difficult and hesitant hooker for three weeks after three weeks of the outer knot ring (3Lz-3Lo) in the second half, and once there is a mistake, there is no chance of remedy, and can only completely lose the jump. The Ania of this short show is a little strange, physically tired, lonely, depressed, and seems to have lost the fire in her eyes. At that point, I could only pray that there was one last drop of oil in her tank that would sustain her to fight in free slip.
After all, to keep the Winter Olympic quota, rather than not participating in the European Championships, you can make people imagine how good Tutamusheva she will be, Andia must not only ensure a medal in the free skating, but also come up with a program that can beat the perfect Tutamusheva in everyone's mind to be able to lock in the Winter Olympic seats that should belong to her.
After the game, Ania said that the two days from the end of the short show to the free skating were the worst days of her life, and I could totally understand it. After leaving the arena with regret, she had to wait two days to prove herself again, and what a long wait it was for critics caught up in the political correctness of "anti-genius girls" to shut up.
But in the end, "they talk the talk and I walk the walk", the dispute over competitive sports will eventually be brought to the field to be resolved, after two days of precipitation, re-sorting out the emotions, Ania with the heart and fighting spirit of the strong and brave Margaret in "The Master and Margaret", ignited the shame of the anger and walked back to the ice rink. As Written in Krylov's fable, eagles occasionally fly lower than chickens, but only goshawks can soar into the sky and overlook all beings. An extremely wonderful free skate, a precious silver medal, silenced the critics overnight, and cried with joy, she did it!
Why do I always love these children so much? Because they neither argue nor beg for sympathy, as their fans, they do not have to worry about the torment of the black hole period, but only share their growth happily. Even if they really fall into the black hole, they can always drag themselves and those who love them out of the huge suction of the black hole with extraordinary will and courage.
The Beijing Winter Olympics belong to the brave Ania, Camilla and Sasha!
