So here we go the last in the ladies free here in the first ever team event in the olympic winter
games team russia are pretty much unbeatable they've got 57 points in the bag and this young
lady was a sensation in the short program she said after her magnificent short program that
she actually feeds off the pressure well there's not an awful lot of pressure here but
only the pressure that she'll put on herself this is 15 year old
yulia lipnitskaya for russia skating to schindler's list and this is a masterpiece
triple toe double axle triple toe double toe combination straight into the transition as well
just a ridiculous start for a 15 year old turning on one foot with loops
using the entire body and keeping the flow amazing speed into that flip no hesitation
second double axle the jumps the choreography the transitions the spins all integrated into
intricate patterns making a full program
and that's a second looks with a double toe for good measure look at that position and speed
quite incredible plushenko brought the house to its feet out of respect
and yulia lipnitskaya has sheer admiration it's amazing isn't it i mean she's half his age
and we've got the same reaction from the crowd look at that scenes of jubilation here in sochi
as lipnitskaya delivers again the impact gymnast olga corbett had upon the world for her qualities
i think we're seeing this again modern russia yeah phenomenal she is a phenomenon there's no
doubt about that the consistency is incredible and how you can have skating skills like that
and jumping technique like that although there was a suspiciously slight inside edge going in
may get a slight edge call on it but on the whole you can't criticize very much at all
speed across the ice i agree double axle perfect if you want to put a triple toe on the end
and another double toe straight into the transition and the transitions means footwork
so here we go with the flip she has the poise and this incredible feeling for the music that
she's able to portray with one look at the very beginning of a program she has the strength of
mind to save jumps when they need to be saved as we all know that they're not all perfect
what could the score be i can only guess 139.75 at europeans what will this be
it's going to be good that is for dead short
just a reminder gracie got 129.38 hang on to your hats 141.51
unreal score there for yulia lipnitskaya a couple of points better than she's
ever had before quite incredible the russians increasing their lead they were untouchable
before this and now they're in another they're on another planet by some way they're in first
place we've still got the ice dance but they got 67 points in the bag what are they 11 points ahead
a salute from plushenko there to her and i would say that's the changing of the guard
quite incredible there's going to be a party here in sochi tonight
the russians now completely untouchable in this first ever team event
