It's Younger Age Russian Nats, older group (born 2002 and 2003).Love her.
What competition is this?
She scares me.
Julia has to quickly get all her medals before Anastasia will step on the senior ice in 2018. 
By the way - I watched about dozen of younger group girls (born 2004 and later) skates and haven't noticed anyone very special. Have you? Or this amazing Russian flood of female skating talent has finally come to an end?

Первенство России (Championship of Russia) http://fsrussia.ru/results/1415/specprogramma1415/index.htm
Link to the short program results: http://fsrussia.ru/results/1415/specprogramma1415/SEG008.HTM
It's all for novice, divided on two age groups, as I understood.

I'm so happy they do not compete against each other because I adore this girl and can't decide between her and Yulia then.
:hopelessness:She isn't going to at the Olympics before 2022, and I'm fine with that.

No I haven't, but she is so special.

These are 10 year olds and younger(Tsurskaya who is 2 years younger skated with Proklova, Sotskova, Sima). There was a slight drop off after Sotskova-Proklova-Medvedeva-Sima but they're better than they've ever been at the younger ages now.
Viktoria Vasilieva just turned 11( pretty sure she could have skated in the younger group) and is JGP eligible the year after Nugamanova and Gubanova. She is competing in the older group. She's scored in the upper 150's twice.

An interesting article

Especially liked this
Polina Tsurskaya to me is sort of like a better version of Polina Edmunds

Thanks for interesting link. :agree:
Btw. - it's not the end of season in Russia! :dance:
I was checking Shcherbakova stats and found out she will take part in "Хрустальный конёк" ("Crystal skate") tournament on 4-6th of April: http://www.fskate.ru/results/tour/1340.html
Only three top places from Younger Age Championship (groups older and younger) qualified:
Older group - Gubanova, Mitrofanova, Soloveva
Younger group - Tarakanova, Trusova, Shcherbakova.
Looks like very elite event!

I love how no matter how young and tiny skaters is, after skate on the ice appears even younger and tinier little one who hands over gifts and flowers.

He did not do well in competition though. Not the first one to do quads young/in practice. I remember some young Russian men had 4 types of quads years ago. Where are they now?

I know that. But I posted it to the fan thread because I think it is still impressive. I like Dmitry and he started out the season quite well. He has plenty of potential.
His competition results this season were really not bad (on the podium at every int'l competition, except for Golden Spin of Zagreb where he competed against seniors), so I'm not sure what you are talking about there.

i hope he will stay healthy. As the road of Russian men these years are not very bright. I do not like the way ISU push children and young people for dangerous elements instead of skating cleanly with good programs. Sport it is, but still some kind of absurd to me.

Well, I don't agree about the state of Russian men, I mean...you can draw doom-and-gloom generalizations about US men, Japanese men, Canadian men, etc. or any other country if you want, as well.
Also I don't think the ISU is pushing kids to do quads...are you serious? There are plenty of seniors who don't have quads (I will not mention any names since it's been discussed to death elsewhere).

They are over rewarding fall quads. That is a way of encouraging young skaters to go for difficult elements but not care about the clean program as a whole in my opinion.
