it was her seventh (not fifth, according to the commentator) title! First woman in the history who has won seven European titles!!! Congratulations, Irina!
This would have gotten her AT LEAST the silver at the Olympics. She had some deduction on the second lutz...but three 3 triples after the halfway point might have done. She did miss her blade in the first spiral though.
Wow, amazing! She has great height on her jumps. It's amazing someone can do so many beillmanns in one program. How do people grap their blades? Whenever i do beillmanns it feels like i'm cutting the circulation off in my fingers. When i warm up i can easily do a beillmann without my skate on and can get it pretty high. How do you grap the blade?
Throughout her career she was always hugely overrated and praised sooo much more beyond her abilities. At the end of a day she was just an average skater, good jumps always with no running edge, good spins and absolutely no artistic impression in her skating. Completely without elegance
I will always love that 3loop with those 3 turns in front.
Me too! And that's exactly why it was so heartbreaking when she missed it at the 2006 Olympics free program :(
her spins were crazy good

With that she could have wun the olympics 😕
Nahh her spirals are painful to watch.
@@jamesmendoza4905But her jumps her humongous and her spins were PHENOMENAL. A skater with true sense of rhythm in spins is quite rare.
