(Not sure if this is the right thread) Can anyone tell me something about Sofia Mishina, who is scheduled to compete in the Universiade in Trento: the latest video I can find is her 2012 nationals performance (where she actually skated quite well)...

She is 18 years old. Last year she didn't manage to qualify for the seniors nationals. Not sure if she qualified this year, but she was 5th and 8th in her Russian Cup events (qualifying events for nationals) so that doesn't look that great to me. If she qualify, then only thanks to the rule that under 14 y.o. are not allowed to compete there. She doesn't seem to be scoring that high. In her Russian cup events she scored 134.38 and 119.76, so you get the idea about her level of skating...

^I agree.
She skated well years ago, but has no progress.

Almost all best Russian Ladies are 1996 and younger, i.e. too young for Universiade (1985-1995).
Best skaters are preparing to Nationals, to qualify to Euro and to National Team.

Because of this at Universiade will be 2nd level skaters (and the same - skaters from other countries).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v30Z-Skr0-o - FS Victoria Bezrukova, winner in Elder Age.

Victoria Bezrukova has great jumping techniques! She looks like she is flying when she jumps!! How old is she? Any more information about her?

Bezrukova gets great height on her jumps for somebody that tiny. She's skating through the music though. It's sad how most up-and-coming Russian ladies seem to be all about jumps now. I miss the Butyrskaya and Slutskaya days so much. :(

I disagree. Some skaters skate through their music, some don't. That has nothing to do with age or nationality. For every up and coming young Russian lady who skates through her music, I am sure I can find one who doesn't. Radionova, Proklova, Sakhanovich... But of course the technical side of skating is important. The young ladies don't have famous name, unlike the established skaters, so they won't get high PCS. If they want to win, they have to get the points on the TES.

Pretty good result for Shershak. Does she qualify for Nationals?
Yes, she does.
She is third on results of Russian Cup Events, so high place is because she was at two last Events where skaters were not of so high level.

This season strongest skaters were at three first Events. There were Sotnikova once and Pogorilaya twice (for practice and as test skating, but of course with first places), Gosviani once, and good skaters Artemieva, Kajumova, Pervushkina, and known skaters Biryukova, Agafonova, Korobeynikova. Agafonova and Korobeynikova were not so good, Biryukova progresses from competition to competition - hope we will see "old good" Biryukova.

Not so good results for Shershak. TES at SP 24.37, at FS 49.45. Only 3T and 3S of triples, 3+2 combo in SP.
Before her illness or injury she had also 3Lo, not absolutely stable 3F and stable enough 3T+3T combo.
Hope she restores.

Too many competitions. Having GPF in December, then Russian nationals in December, then Europeans in January, Olympics in February and Worlds in March, all within 4 months felt too much. They originally wondered whether they should skip the Europeans (Trankov mentioned in one interview that they consider not going to Europeans) and someone probably told them that it wouldn't be very clever (better to go to Olympics as European Champions) so they decided to skip the nationals. To be fair, they are the best from Russian pairs, so why shouldn't they? Most of top competitors skip their nationals. Savchenko-Szolkowy skipped theirs for a few years, Carolina Kostner too, Yu-Na Kim, some of the Chinese pairs...

**Volosozhar/Trankov and Fedorova/Miroshkin will not participate at Nationals.

Good job Volosozhar/Trankov and Fedorova/Miroshkin will not participate at Nationals. There is only 12 places at the Russian senior nationals for pairs and participants are chosen from 1. participating at GP event, 2. qualifying to JGPF and then 3. according to the results of their internal competitions Russian Cups. This year 6 pairs got GP event (Volosozhar/Trankov, Kavaguti/Smirnov, Bazarova/Larionov, Stolbova/Klimov, Antipova/Maisuradze and Martiushheva/Rogonov) and 5 pairs qualified to JGPF (Fedorova/Miroshkin, Vygalova/Zakroev, Gainetdinova/Bich, Tarasova/Morozov and Davankova/Deputat). If Kavaguti/Smirnov were not injured and Volosozhar/Trankov and Fedorova/Miroshkin didn't decide not participate at the Nationals, there would be no point holding the Russian cup competitions for pairs because only one pair would be qualifying based on those competitions. The spots for nationals would be already given (except of one spot) before the competitions have even begun!
