2012 - 2013 Russian skaters, rules, and events

sky_fly20, Thank you so much for the translation!!!

[AlexRus]

By recording the impression...

More correct translation is "By video the impression...".

"she broke a little coordination" - more understandable "she broke coordination a little".

"Long jump and reduced emissions." - more correctly "Long time was needed to restore jumps and throws."

Briefly put Nikolai Morozov.

More correct translation is "Short Program put Nikolai Morozov".

A random put Irina Zhuk.

More correct translation is "Free Skating put Irina Zhuk".

"Korotkaya" (short form of "korotkaya programma") means "Short Program".
"Proizvolnaya" (short form of "Proisvolnaya programma") means "Free Skating".

There are also some other minor incorrectnesses.

Unfortunately, I have no time to translate, I translate very slowly because of my not very good English.

If somebody wants to know correspondence between English and Russian figure skating terms, may be recommended to use Communication 1724.

I like Maria's posture and flexibility. Obviously, they are still juniors and there is some work to be done, but this pair seems to me that they have 'it'; that thing that keeps your attention and make you watch it. I can't put a finger on what it is.

AlexRus, Do you know anything about Andrei LAZUKIN RUS who will be skating at JGP Linz. He has no ISU biography.

"Korotkaya" (short form of "korotkaya programma") means "Short Program".
"Proizvolnaya" (short form of "Proisvolnaya programma") means "Free Skating".

Thanks, AlexRus! I'll tell you, your English is a lot better than my French (the language I studied in the most detail). It's great to have some Russian speakers on GS to feed us information.

First post of this thread consists a list of skaters' bio, with links for more easy seeing.

Lazukin exists there.

[AlexRus]

If there would be Japanese language speaker for feeding information, I'd be really happy. If Chinese and Korean also - it would be more than it is possible to dream.

[dorispulaski]

Thanks, AlexRus, for the info. I must have typed Lazukin's name wrong in the thread search, because it did not come up.

[Olympia]

You don't even have to wish for it! There are several Japanese speakers. They've been very generous with translations of interviews and magazine articles, and also reports from the summer ice shows. There are also several speakers of Chinese languages we've heard from, and at least one or two Koreans. If you hunt around on some of the threads (such as the Daisuke Takahashi thread, the various threads devoted to YuNa, and the Patrick Chan thread--because he's been interviewed by Chinese-language media), I'm sure you'll find enjoyable tidbits of information.

AlexRus, can you tell us more about Fedorova/Miroshkin? And also Davankova/Deputat, please.

[sky_fly20]

AlexRus, can you tell us more about Fedorova/Miroshkin? And also Davankova/Deputat, please.

I know some from Davankova/Deputat plans, they will go to their second JGP in Croatia as they have to settle their not so good performance in Lake Placid , they will then compete in a B International competition as Seniors ( maybe Coup de Nice ) in preparation for National Championships, their aim is Top 5-6 Placement at Senior Russian Championships in December.

Top 5-6 place at Russian senior nationals will be really hard. I know that last year it was doable, but last year the top two pairs did not compete. As I see it, Volosozhar-Trankov, Kavaguti-Smirnov and Bazarova-Larionov will place above them for sure. So they are going to compete with Stolbova-Klimov, Gerboldt-Enbert, Martiusheva-Rogonov, Maisuradze with his new partner... Davankova and Deputat are good, but there is a very strong competition and it will depend on how the others deliver (or not deliver).

Gerbodlt/Enbert are injured and will be out for 2012-2013 season,
Maisuradze and his new partner ? I doubt a newly created partnership will really do well....
Nodari's new partner is a young girl but we still have to wait for the Russian Cup Series how they will do

the possible Top 1-4 at Russian Championships
are between Volosozhar Trankov, Kavaguti-Smirnov, Bazarova-Larionov, Stolbova-Klimov

so their direct competitor for 5-6th placement is Martiusheva-Rogonov who also have jump issues.

Davankova/Deputat did test skates today:
