Diggs fifty representing reform
every time she takes the ice were left in all
HC seeks to set a new record
posted the highest number ever
in the short program here is the fifteen year old from Moscow
Camilla but they have a
then you go back a year we were talking about Shcherbakov but
we were talking about use of a she was just starting to emerge
and now she is the Olympic favorite
you can't help but wonder
what she accomplished today in this free skate record
well she said
degree
plan one in the second half for the ten percent bonus
yes
watch for the load that she takes out of her job
she keeps the speed
difficult
one of my favorite elements right here arms over the head
sure Plaxo shocking
all one point deduction
bottle triple to live here
unlike some
can have a mistaken still this competition just because of how
well she completes her element
Regis and she's got the artistry
to back it up
Luke turned into more of
Diggs the technical does
that elements
still amazing to watch the perfection was not approached
on this day
most definitely Terry it's the consistency with mela that
blows my mind it's as if she has magnets on her blades but
we saw her faltered today not much but a little bit
she she proved to us that she's human after all and looking
ahead the only reason she does not become the Olympic champion
next month is because the electric pressure
gets to her and she makes them as you mentioned Johnny it
would probably have to be Plowright multiple errors
but you don't want to leave the door open for someone like
trees of it if she has the speed of our life that day it
could make things interesting
the Olympics are always interesting there is always a shock
in competition Camilla by Levi is the most talented skater but
I've I've ever seen today though is the first time I've
seen her look
nervous and all three of these Russian women train together
every day they see the good the bad the ugly the tears
the blood the sweat and the successes so it's not
necessarily her competitors I don't think that will make her
nervous
it's just that the weight in the gravity of the situation
that will make her nervous
and it's the Olympic pressure we talk about it all the time
it's unlike any other pressure there's really no way to
prepare for what you will feel they are the triple Axel given
her trouble at a point in the season she hasn't missed we
talked about her consistency on the quad to look at that
gorgeous quad salad even today
she executed three of them but it was this triple Axel that
she missed a few times early in the season
the pastor the flexibility just makes every element feel like
it's the diamond standard
of what we're watching triple flip arms over the head
beautiful flexibility through the arms I straight position
into the triple toe loop here again arms over the head
choose a little bit stiff in the needs a little bit wobbly
and she's one of those people with you know those good
marshmallow knees they're nice and soft but firm at the same
time and today I just felt like she was a little bit too high
in the
the perfect marshmallow Johnny but I I don't know how you feel
I love bolero on her
it feels like the perfect musical choice for coronation
next month she told happens
she told me it helps her with her pacing and helps her to
move through the program and and have checkpoints and it's
such a driving
tough piece of music that I think it really does
help turning gives her beautiful character out there to
some pieces of music there are legendary it's getting you
better bring it if you're skating the bolero
yes and she has got the holiday season
and this year because of the current leader remember
the lead
that Camilla believe I had after the short program that
number was over ninety we've never seen anybody posted
number of ninety plus in the women's short program so her
lead was more than fourteen points and it was Loung Hendrix
who is in second
this is Diggs a gasp from the audience that the the
they were shocked when that fall took place
well she has been so so perfect
he
said she's not even thinking about the Olympics I'm not sure
I one hundred percent believe that but to focus on the day
into day time again
this season
been sensational
every event sets a new personal record not sure that's gonna
happen here
I hope she is thinking about the Olympics because you need
to prepare even though it's almost impossible that you
don't wanna put it out of out of your mind to you step on
Olympic ice and then it overwhelms you
this course please her first Olympic memory was really that
needs guy competing at Sochi twenty fourteen was our first
Olympics altogether meant then I might lose with them Kamila
Aliyeva
the news welcome
to the most common by accident
so one sixty eight point
six one a long way from a personal bass but
certainly
in the first place guys
fifty nine four oh six and that's the right decision she
she's the strongest
competition under separate cover though was the winner of
the day for me just a bit valiant return
