Daria PANENKOVA RUS Ladies Free Skating GDANSK 2017

wants to have a good skate, stay in the top three, earn a spot to the Junior Grand Prix Final. 14 years old, Daria born in Moscow, coached by Eteri Tutberidze, Sergey Dudikov and Daniil Glykinkov. The choreography 119.15. Skating tonight, Makita Park, performed by Celine Dion. Boy, I tell you, this is just great entertainment, it's great sport, amazing young people, trained by spectacular coaches all over the world, producing enough pressure, pretty special. There's the triple lutz, reload, triple toe, perfectly straight, perfectly quick, that's what I'm always talking about, watch how fast she rotates in the air, when she explodes off the ice, she's right into rotation, no space between the legs, no wobbling in the air, perfectly centered. You accomplish that, triple jumps are not so physically demanding, don't want to make it sound easy, because it's not, but it's efficient, there's the triple lutz at the end of the program, wow, she had pressure, skated last, she saw her colleague from her own school skate so beautifully, probably has the top score of the year, and she had to produce her best skate, and she did, we'll see what the scores will be in just a second. I love the drama, I love the athleticism, Sergei Dudikov, coach there, obviously part of the brilliant work that's being done in Russia, congratulations to the whole team and to Daria, and here are the scores. 130.91, season's best, that's first in the free program, and a 196.55, came close, but she didn't win, she's second, but she goes to the Junior Grand Prix Final, she'll be just fine. What a fighter. And a look at the overall scores here, overall results, Alina from Russia, 197.91, Daria 196.55, so close, and Rino from Japan, 170.90, on Su Lim, 162.58 in fourth, and there's a look at the rest of the competitors in the field.
