2022-23 Russian National Jumping Championships

[Lurker11]

In Russia? Of course they will. In the World? I doubt it despite what Kogan boasted about recently (i.e. international calls praising him for the event etc.). In Men's category they could make it even greater than it was in Russia, for sure. In Women's? Sorry - there is nothing to show in jumps there. Well, fans of particular skaters could enjoy it in theory anyway - so what can I know?
And introducing elimination/rivals system and disqueting music during jumps - was all it required to turn otherwise boring event into solid show. Why they couldn't think up something like that when the first Jumps tournaments were introduced, I wonder? That type of event was considered as failure since then for many years..

The ICU (if the ISU were a patient the ICU is where you would send them) would be loathe to take inspiration from the Russian federation. Plus, in women's it would just highlight the complete dearth of jumping talent in ICU skating. Maybe the ICU could have a twizzle competition for the ladies.

I meant in Russia. Hope you are right and it becomes a yearly event and not a one off.

As a fan of the ladies exclusively, this becoming a world event would actually make it worse. ISU would dumb it down and introduce quotas, entry and age restrictions. No thanks.

And the consistent whining about jumps killing figure skating.....

The winners:



As others, I found this much more entertaining than I imagined before, although I was skeptical at first it turned out to be a great idea and innovation that can enrich the skating season.

Really? I don't know, I'm still not interested...

You can still watch, it is worth it.

Btw, it seems that there is at least one article outside of Russia about that event already:

Eiskunstlauf-Wunderkind Valieva gewinnt historischen Titel

Nächster Titel für Eiskunstlauf-Wunderkind Kamila Valieva. Die 16-Jährige hat am Wochenende die ersten russischen "Sprung-Meisterschaften" der Geschichte für sich entschieden. Dabei gelangen ihr zwei Vierfach-Sprünge, an denen sie vor wenigen Wochen noch schlagzeilenträchtig scheiterte.

Yeah, I can just imagine commentary ‘but that’s, of course, is not important, what we need is more spirals’.

Or just award gold to a super sweet smile who barely gets a shaky 3lut into a 2ax. CHAMPION!!!

I wanted to say that I loved brackets. Basically, what it did, was to give the tournament a playful vibe with making us realize that this is a game vs ranking competition. Fedorov probably voiced the opinion on that the best, doing his comedic routines. By contrast, too serious reactions where out of place, like when Akatyeva jumped 4, not 5 jumps.

Honestly, the only thing I wished was for women’s bracket to be the same as men’s with 12 participants.

The format was a hoot, despite some of the stronger jumpers eliminated through the luck of the draw.

And, yes, I also like the acknowledgment of the simple inescapable fact that teenage women can jump really really well.

Im happy Mura made the final but ngl she got lucky with her placement to not to have face either of Sofia A, Nika nor Kami. Luck of the draw, as someone who is also watching the World Cup I can say its really essential.

Guess it would have been fairer if point system was used...

Guess it would have been fairer if point system was used...

Or what they could have done when there was ten of them, each of them jump two times and the top four score getters advance to semi finals with #1 vs. #4 and #2 vs. #3

Nice video with the best moments (and some funny ones as well ) from the team event

 

[Minoru]

Off-topic: Zagitova 's voice has matured. It's less high-pitched.

I don't think Alina's voice is high pitch. Voice itself is not so different from Anya (at least closer than Medvedeva). I like both but I like the way Alina speaks, it's cute! Anya speaks a bit too fast. I want to hear both imitate each other !

I can't believe how incredibly demanding the coaches and organizers of that competition are! None of the novice skaters have that pressure in the United States,it is not required to have a 3axel to compete in the US as a novice nor in any level. Most girls in the senior and junior team don't have quads nor 3axels anyway and many novices are 13 and up. Why do they demand so much from the skaters? They can't compete internationally anyway maybe until many years.

Plushenko names Sofia Titova, Veronika Zhilina, Sofia Muravieva and Nikita Sarnovskiy as participants.

Alena Zhilina will be his next star. She learned a 3axel when she was 8 in 2020!! How old is she now?? She could have more talent and athletic skills than all the girls of his younger group.
