Delighted for Sakhanovich. Not her best performance overall and she made mistakes. However, she has had a long season and it was still a good score for her LP.
I think Biryukova suffered multiple stress fractures this season which is likely the cause of her decline. If you visit her website she mentions in a blog entry about her injuries. So hopefully once she is healthy she will be skating better.
A few videos of the FS
Alena Leonova 114.09 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3cyO...lIc4UQ&index=5

I'd be interested who goes to Worlds. That FS was probably Alena's best this season, but I was not that impressed. She didn't have much beyond the jumps and her usual spark was very much missing.Originally Posted by tulosai
Nikol, on the other hand, I felt was much better. Yes she made a few tiny errors, but I thought on the whole her program was much better and she did a 3F-3T to boot!
So Leonova did beat Gosviani by a solid margin. Interesting to see what the Russian Fed does now.
I think they should send Leonova, otherwise they might as well as not have had the skate off.
When is the men's LP? Today?
Indeed, I think it would be right to send Leonova - after all, they've got Liza and Adelina as well, so there is no reason not to chance it with the 3rd lady.
ETA. I see now that the men's LP has already been, and that Menshov won. So, what does everyone think this means for the men's situation re Worlds'?

I believe the Men's LP posts were some of those that disappeared
Menshov won, Voronov second.
And probably, just as Menshov predicted, he will not be sent to Worlds; Kovtun will be sent.
If so, what's the point to have a test-skate type of competition, to begin with, btwn Menshov and Voronov at this late of the season?idk what to say...I feel reeeally sorry for both Konstantin and Sergei.
And don't cry, doris!
Menshov's FS

Menshov was at Skate America; we were there, and really liked his skating a lot!And don't cry, doris!
Good effort from Menshov. It's a shame that the Men's Worlds spot was a foregone conclusion before he even stepped onto the ice. :/
Protocols?
And, when will they announce officially the complete World Team? (I still have a tiny hope that Menshov will be sent)
I just watched Korobeneykova's FS: it's a shame that she made those stupid mistakes, because the first half was REALLY good, it was the first clean 3Lz since Worlds 2012, I think; but, why didn't she try the flip? It was a really good jump for her last year, is it now giving her trouble?
There is a Russian cup final and menshov qualified so he competed and he wants the opportunity to skate for the federation and it's not a specially organized event it's part of the system but menshov knows it doesn't always matterIf so, what's the point to have a test-skate type of competition, to begin with, btwn Menshov and Voronov at this late of the season?
