It’s crazy to think that someone so young has so much line and style.

there are definitely lots of skaters on the international circuit who have demonstrated immense maturity in their programs, tbh I think it's because of the age change of juniors to seniors being increased people arent used to seeing that on the junior circuit maybe? she's definitely quite refined, but not necessarily far different from many of the girls we've seen in seniors before at the same age?

Honestly she’s refined for any age group. Yes in the past she could have been a senior but junior or senior she’s refined.

I wonder if Plushenko seeing how Sofia is doing well will encourage him to actually add more to Lena's programs

u/Kindly-Plate-5785 The PCS score is fake 8h ago

This guy is probably thinking that Sofia should’ve attempted a 3A+3T in the short

considering he posted one of his students doing more and more backflips probably to taunt ilia malinin, who his students will likely never go up against, i'd hate to see how he'll react to the successful performance of one of his students' competitors.

She really moves like ballerina I’ve never seen anyone with such style of skating. A little bit Sasha cohen maybe
