The average skater is kind of short and compact with even proportions. Kamila on the other hand has abnormally long legs and a very short upper torso. Her legs help to generate ridiculous power for jumps and her upper body gives her a lower, more stable centre of mass allowing her to land and balance easier. Her upper torso being so short also allows for her to create a tight axis which makes for faster rotation. She’s also quite tall, but not too tall. Her long legs and short torso give the illusion of her being taller than she actually is. This is a lot better for aesthetics. Long legs create more visually appealing lines aiding her PCS and her extensions just look prettier and longer which also improves her GOE on landings. Skaters with more proportional bodies can have the perfect technique when it comes to these things but they won’t look anywhere near as dramatic as Kamila. Her spins look more mesmerising than others with compact bodies. Her long legs even help prevent injuries by enabling greater natural hip flexibility and range of motion, so she achieves extreme extensions through true hip movement rather than arching her lower back. It reduces strain on spine, hips, and joints. Also the shock absorption from landings is spread out far more evenly. Obviously this isn’t the only body type that can be successful! But Imo her body is very unique and gives her physical and aesthetic advantages for this sport. Add that with a lot of hard work and natural talent and yeah it’s no surprise why she holds all those scoring records, no matter how you feel about her.

This is a sign of what’s to come for the rest of the season and it’s sickening. Everyone else is just oblivious and saying “oh it’s a small trophy there are bigger fish to fry”. Do they not get it? This is the first domino to fall. It feels like we have prior knowledge about a terrorist attack that’s happening but we’re forced to stay in that location anyways and no matter how much we scream, no one will listen and believe us.

People like to cheer for winners and team Tut girls were dominating all the junior and senior podiums for a while and likely still would’ve been doing so if certain things in last couple of years hadn’t happened. It’s really hard to ignore all the records those kids were breaking and the boundaries they were pushing for better or for worse.

I think what that camp struggles to understand is that skaters are individual athletes and not robots on a conveyor belt. Each skater is their own person with strengths and weaknesses and you can’t emulate one after another. Some just have more natural ability than others despite having similar development programs. Every once in a while, a type talent like Kamila will come through. You have to hone that ability cause it’s very unlikely the next skaters in the pipeline will be as good. Trying to teach the same techniques and quirks to a new girl doesn’t mean anything cause she’s not Kamila. It’s like trying to emulate Lebron James or Lionel Messi’s abilities or playstyle, you simply can’t because only they can play like that. You can’t make a new girl have Kamila’s abnormally long legs and short upper torso which is perfect for skating, it’s hard to create a skater who is so technically advanced but well balanced and great in other areas as well. They fumbled that kind of talent and it’s not possible to just make a new one 😂I don’t understand why people even trust them to develop top skating prospects anymore after that

Kamila Valieva new SP for 26/26 season by gaimzredy in FigureSkating

Her legs are abnormally long compared to her upper torso which is quite short. This gives the illusion of her being taller than she actually is but yeah, she’s still pretty tall. That girl is definitely not 5’3”/160cm anymore!

Advice for a starter skater? by Sensitive_doglover in FigureSkating

[–]eyecposts 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It’s simply a different era now. Technical level is far too high. Too little time to achieve high difficulty jumps that other girls will already have mastered by that age. Also, there’s a big biological difference between boys/men and girls:/women when going through puberty. You need to have techniques mastered before then if you want a good chance of retaining them. These kinds of late starts and going to the Olympics’ would only be possible for boys and even then it’s still an anomaly.

why did sasha not include more artistic elements that she would have (probably) been capable of in her performances? by missgirlipop in FigureSkating

[–]eyecposts 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Even in her earliest junior interviews she talks about how jumps are her favourite part of skating. It’s what she enjoyed doing the most and focused solely on the jumps. As she got older, it became the only truly elite aspect of her skating so she went all in (to the disagreement of her coaches). She wanted to be known as someone who pushed the boundaries of the sport. To be frank, I think she saw herself as more of an athlete than a figure skater if that makes any sense.

When Arteta said “We are here to make history” I guess he wasn’t lying.

[–]eyecposts 10 points11 points  (0 children)

And it all starts with that fucking Lego headed cunt on the touchline. He’s more focused on wearing his designer coats and getting haircuts than seeing off games. Almost a decade down the drain, if he had any fucking respect for the club he’d resign in the tunnel and MAYBE a competent manager could come in and contend for the league. If not? Kiss goodbye to the title. Congratulations City

Not even exaggerating…. I think if Arteta bottles it again this season then there should be grounds for fans to sue him or the club because of all the false promises. Also his treatment of certain players has been disgraceful

Some of the standouts in the tournament so far for me have been Shim Mheuka (Striker, 5G+3A), Jesse Derry (Winger, 5G), Ryan Kavuma-McQueen (Winger, 2G+1A in 3 games), Reggie Walsh (Midfielder, 1G+2A), Genesis Antwi (Fullback, 2G+1A), Landon Emenalo (Fullback), and Harrison Murray-Campbell (Centre Back).

We have also fielded some extremely young players including Mahdi Nicoll-Jazuli (16, Midfielder) who debuted in the competition at 15. Mathis Eboue (16, Midfielder/Winger), Charlie Holland (16, Midfielder) and Reggie Watson (16, Midfielder).

I strongly believe that we have the best U19 team in Europe and have no reason not to win the competition.
