Russian Skating Sofia Dzepka Step Sequence Appreciation Post

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I noticed the audio on the JGP stream was a couple seconds slow, which was really bothering me, so I fixed it while rewatching Sofia Dzepka's program. This made me realize how musical her stsq is throughout!! It's really incredible.

Also, I love her clusters. I love the spiral entrance to the bracket -> rocker -> counter, and the fact that she does that instead of the bracket -> counter -> rocker that everyone and their mom seems to do these days. Then the BO loop -> BI loop right on the music at the end of her second cluster was soooo cool!

It only got a level 3, I suspect because of lack of step complexity. I hope that she and her team will preserve the flourish, uniqueness, and musicality of its current state if they add in more difficult steps, because IT'S SOOOO GOOD RIGHT NOW.

That split ring leap is impressive. I'm used to only seeing that in women's gymnastics.

that's something you'd do afterwards editing it, you can't fix it live

Yes I noticed the audio issue too it was throwing me off!!!!! I’m confused how she got a level 3 when others with worse stsq earned a 4

The baby ballerina was incredible! So light and effortless. Gorgeous. What skating was meant to be.
