Adelina, Liza , Julia, mi stupiscono ogni giorno!! La Russia non avrà certo problemi a dominare tutti i futuri podi ! Mi ricordo che dopo che se n'era andata Irina avevano avuto problemi a rimpiazzarla tra Ksenia e Alena ma adesso non devono più preoccuparsi perchè se possibile hanno trovato 3 atlete che la possono sorpassare :) baci dall'Italia
I like Adelina and Liza skating. They both have strengths but they are only two of upcoming Russian ladies skaters on the horizon. Julia Li, Polina S will be appearing on the GP circuit next season and Sofia B will by competing at the 2011 Cup of Rostel(former Cup of Russia) in 3 weeks. Sofia B is very promising and I think may surpass Adelina and Liza.
Also, I think Adelina style reminds me of Maria B.
I see the program once after other one, and I´m unable to remove the eyes of the rink though I know myself that movement effects in every moment. She´s perfect. She has everything, technic, artistic, expression, choreography... And only she´s15 years old..
Russia sends in all competitions Alena Leonova and Ksenia Makarova. But they are not the best skater of his country .. At the moment the best skater in Russia are Adelina Sotnikova and Lisa Tuktamysheva. But they did not speak at the World Championships because he did not later in age. Adelina Russian Champion 2011!!
There's something in the way this kid attacks her jumps that makes me think she'll become a great senior ladies champion. I would not be surprised to see her on the medals podium at Sochi although probably not on the top step. She flew into her jumps with great confidence during the first half of her program especially and, even though her posture and musicality still need developing, her speed and flow across the ice is amazing. But most impressive is her concentration and determination.
At this stage, only a combination of Elizaveta, puberty, and being called for a slight flutz might derail her chances of gold in 2014. Right now, at the junior level, callers are ignoring this but come the senior GP, things might change (Elizaveta, her main competitor, has no edge issues). And if she blooms in the hips, watch out...tho it prolly won't matter since her jumps are SOO explosive. I can def. see Adelina and Eliza both going for the 3a in Sochi.
@kstarnes333 Two times. She won in 2009 when she was 12 years old I believe. In 2010, she was 4th. Now, she became first once again in 2011. Some people thought in 2009 that her win was just lucky, but as you can see, she is two-time national champion.
I love the way she extends her leg after her landings. She shows she could finish a jump not only with a landing, but a FINISHED landing. I don't see that much in ladies anymore. Even in the Olympics. She knows how to finish her jumps.
I hope she stays this magnificent. A lot of female skaters have trouble adjusting as they go through puberty and body changes, right around the same time she'll be preparing for the next Olympics. Good luck!
Her jumps are HUGE! Big enough to quads on the flip and lutz especially! Wow. She should work on the triple axel and be the youngest EVER to do it competition.
Her jumps are HUGE! Big enough to quads on the flip and lutz especially! Wow. She should work on the triple axel and be the youngest EVER to do it competition.
although she is good, we still must watch out on her, cause as she grows, her body can change and... like mao asada.. she was way better than adelina in juniors but now, she has hard time being 1st in podium. anyways hope not to see her being like mao.
I'm speechless...This young girl is pure perfection, a great great talent. I love her style, she's elegant, graceful and also technically perfect: I'm sure she'll be a world champion in a couple of years! Russian skaters are the best.
WOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!! That's amazing, fantastic, incredible, what a great talent!!! 3 lutz and 3 loop combination...2 axel and 3 toeloop...and she is only 14!!! Magnificent!!! She has to improve a lot in presentation but with this large amount of talent it would not be difficult.:)
I see plenty of potential in this skater. If she continues her progress Russia will likely have a ladies medal contender for the 2014 Olympics. I find it ironic that she is using the same music Michelle Kwan had for her 1994-1995 long program. Michelle was also 14 when she placed 3rd in the free skate and 4th place overall at the 1995 World Championships. Perhaps Sotnikova will have an impressive showing at the 2011 World Championships.
an almost complete lack of choreography throughout several sections, so many crossovers i lost count. great jumps, but I am not impressed with her spins at all. the biellmann and i-spin positions are quite poor. to cw6391, she is fourteen and there is no excuse for these positions to be poor at 14. in her defense, i think that negative aspects of her skating/this program has more to do with her coach than with her at this age.
@dexterkatinski how many figure skaters have landed a 3-3 and a 2axel-3 in a national competition at the age of fourteen? her posture and artistry will improve as she matures and ages. she's got her technique down, so now she knows what she has to focus on. i believe she'll be a serious contender for gold in soichi 2014.
like I said, I think she has great jumps. did you not read that? i do hope that her posture/artistry improve as she ages, but you can't rely on age alone to correct these components of skating. slutskaya's posture/artistry never really improved much throughout her career, aside from the weight loss and different costuming that occurred after she failed to make the podium at 1999 Russian Nationals. I think she will be a contender in 2014 if she and her team address these issues.
@cw6391 From now til Sochi anything can happen. You being an American and if you follow this sport should know the history. How many young and upcoming skaters from 3-5 yrs ago are where they are expected to be? People were hyping it up bout Kimmie Meissner, Alissa Csizny, and even Mirai Nagasu look at where they are now. Being 14 she's just a kid with hardly any nerves or fear. Get into 16-20, they'll have nerves to deal with because of physical changes and hormone changes. Things change.
@MisterBokeh the difference between adelina and the skaters you've cited is that adelina has already proved she can skate better technical programs than many of the leading top senior skaters. a triple lutz-triple loop would be a tall order for a male skater to complete, let alone a fourteen year old woman; even yuna kim doesn't do that combination. if she maintains her technical ability and matures artistically, as any skater would, i think she'll be a force to be reckoned with.
@cw6391 Yuna's triple lutz, triple toe, combination is easy than a triple lutz, triple loop? LOL from the last time I checked 3Lutz,3Toe was still difficult. There's a strong chance that Adelina could have a strong staying power and be Russia's new hero. And there is a possibility she could die tomorrow. What I was mainly referring to was change. She's only 14 and still growing, maturing, things can change for the better or for worse with physical change. Just look at Elena Gedevanishvili.
@cw6391 a triple lutz-triple loop combo is more difficult than a lutz-toe as you don't have a toe assist when you take off for the triple toe. with a loop as a second jump in a combo, you land the first triple and take off from that exact same foot. so yes, it is a more difficult combination, one that most men are even shy of trying.
@dexterkatinski I agree, but only a bit, She is VERY talented! There are corrections/improvements that can be made for sure. I get the feeling, if she was told/taught to correct her positions she certainly has the ability to do it. The choreography could've been better and, again, she can handle better, more complex choreography. BUT, having said all that, she is a WONDERFUL skater already and with HUGE potential to be even better, I do agree with others she is one to watch!!
Love this step sequence!

素晴らしい選手だ。もう少しスケーティングにのびがあり、スピンがきちんとその場で回転ができたら、文句のつけようがない。
しかし、心配なのは彼女が大人になった時だ。人生において最盛期は１度しか来ない。すると考えられるのは、彼女は今が最盛期なのかもしれない。このパターンはよくある。大人になって全く活躍しなっかた選手はたくさんいる。彼女がその一員でなければよいのだが。
