No. 1 in women's figure skating is Taurus. Sarah Hughes, Barbara Ann Scott, Alina Zagitova, Veronika Zhilina (OCH 2026), Kamila Valieva (OCH in team, first skater to score 90 in Short Program)
Tauruses in figure skating are distinguished by the stability of the performance of the elements. Nathan Chen did elements quite steadily. Taurus is about stability. Yuma Kagiyama once again confirmed this by winning silver at the 2021 World Championships, then immediately silver at the Olympics and the World Championships in 2022 in a row. Now it's time for World Cup gold. In 2023 he missed the World Cup due to injury. Valieva was known for her stability during the quad era, especially in the Short Program. Veronika Zhilina also skates well for her age and will continue to skate even more steadily toward the Olympic Games. I predict her a brilliant and convincing victory at the Olympic Games with a stable performance of complex ultra-c elements: 3A in the Short Program and 3 quads in the Free Program. Zagitova, Veronika Zhilina and Valieva are incredibly flexible! These are Taurus and therefore in thin. gymnastics, they are also the first.
The most flexible is Valieva.
Tauruses spin: splits on ice at high speed, in terms of flexibility and duration of rotation - number 1. Zagitova, Valieva and Veronika Zhilina with a exemplary rotation.
Nathan Chen, Zagitova, Veronica Zhilina and Valieva - they all have jumps of a high quality.
Taurus are the favorites of the judges in Figure skating. Always get generous points. Sarah Hughes, two-time OCH Karl Schaeffer, Zagitova. Valieva was generally generously awarded with points and her performances were considered divine. Nathan Chen also got very high scores. Now they will also love Veronika Zhilina. I understood why judges love Taurus in figure skating. This sport is very conservative, and the earth is a conservative element. Conservative means he skates without falling, and if he falls, he is not the judges' favorite. Taurus is not the fastest sign. Falls occur among the fastest skaters (example the fastest is Cancer Trusova), who perform elements from difficult transitions. It turns out that it is very difficult to make perfect jumps because the speed is too high, but if the speed is reduced, the jumps improve. Before making a jump, the athlete usually slows down; if he does not slow down, he will fall. Complex transitions in front of an element also play a role. The more difficult the transition, the greater the likelihood of falls. Nathan Chen was loved by judges, but people don’t always support a conservative approach, they need the show and excitement. The only Taurus who is almost perfect is Valieva. She fell not often, skated on a high speed, could show the best artistic presentation (choreography, plasticity, creative movements)
