First time seeing Russians back in competition. This is Sofiia Dzepka from Russian leading after the short program at the JGP in china. I haven’t heard of this skater until today. She skated a beautiful short program. She has a very strong posture and very nice use of her arms. Slightly different style than what we are used to seeing from Russian skaters in the past. What are your thoughts?
