I realize that, but it is a little confusing to just say “Lillehammer” when referring to the YOG. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

NearPup 2,156 Posted July 11, 2020 #407 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Not surprising to see Maria Sotskova retire, her results haven't been good since Pyeongchang and the Russian team in women's figure skating is incredibly deep. Was she even selected for a GP assignment next season? It's already a huge achievement for her to just have made an Olympic team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her jumping technique was already gone by the time Pyeongchang came, and it only went downhill from there. During the last two seasons she collected more under rotated (triple) jumps than regular ones. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figure skating change a lot in the last years, it become more technical and less artistic. Actually for be competitive it's necessary do some quadruple jump and Sotskova wasn't able to do it. But her artistic components was amazing, she was really nice and relaxing to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
