Russian Qualifiers and other important competitions

Wow, cream of the crops including Tsurskaya, Gubanova and Nugumanova all together! This is the Russian ladies' field for the next quad. Of course, the first 3 may become the part of the forces for this quad as well. Wonder if they going to show this (no hopes for the live stream).
 
Wow! I wasn't a fan of hers at first, but her jumps look so easy! JGP will be interesting next year, I can't wait :yay:

Nationals Elder Age - competitions for skaters who are 2 years younger than International Juniors (i.e. for singles who reached 11 but did not reach 17 at 01 Jul 2014).
Program Junior, except Ice Dance, where are 1st Grade and Junior.
From Moscow are qualified 6 girls and 6 boys.
Nationals will be 1-4 Apr 2015, Stary Oskol.
Past seasons medalists of Nationals Elder Age were known skaters - Samarin, Pitkeev, Petrov, Medvedeva, Sotskova, Pogorilaya, Lipnitskaia, Tuktamysheva etc.
 
Generally, despite problems with growth, Polina consults now - the next year on juniors this girl will shine most likely. Also still I would like to note unsuccessful performance of Diana Davis - she wasn't considered as the strongest skater, but also the 23rd place after short program on such tournament is absolutely disaster. It seems to me, it'll better for her to leave mother and to try to train with other coach

We don't know whether the problem is the coaching. Diana Devis has never been a strong skater. She is slowly improving, but she is not going to be junior eligible next season yet anyway. She will be eligible the year after, competing against Gubanova and Nugumanova. But to be fair, she was never on comparable level with them. She may improve though. Unlike Sakhanovich and Medvedeva, we never heard about Proklova until the summer before she became junior eligible.We also never heard about Pogorilaya until she was sent to JGP, and she was sent a year later than she became eligible. She was sent to junior grand prix the same year as Radionova, but she became junior eligible the season before, the same season as Lipnitskaya. She wasn't ready that year, did not have any great results so they didn't send her.
 
Why do skaters like Yushenko and Kayumova compete here? They have already competed in juniors internationally, they also competed at Russian juniors nationals, so why would they need to get into those 'second nationals'? I am sure it is not going to help Yushenko to show the officials that she can't even qualify into them!

Proklova being 12 won Zhuk Memorial and Crystal Skate. Being 10 she was 2nd at Moscow qualifiers to Zhuk Memorial and 5th at Zhuk Memorial.
Pogorilaya being 10 was 2nd at Zhuk Memorial (and before FS she was 1st ahead Radionova who won this competition) and at Crystal Skate too. After that she lost full season because of illness, and her "way to top" after that was less fast than others.

Yes, their way was not "from win to win" as Lipnitskaia or Radionova, but they had success before becoming widely known.

Btw, Medvedeva now is leader of Junior Team (at world level too I believe), but past season she was below Sakhanovich and Sotskova, and maybe Proklova.

Iuschenko was 7th at JrNats, Kaiumova 14th. It is not enough to earn Team Russia spot.
They try to do this at "second nationals".

Well, my point for naming Proklova and Pogorilaya was that Davis still has some time to develop. At least one whole season and a bit and maybe even two seasons because nothing will happen if she starts her junior career a year later after she becomes junior eligible, the same way as Pogorilaya did. Besides, look at Pervushkina - they gave her the chance about 2- 3 seasons after she became junior eligible. They send the skaters when they are ready, but if her development take slightly longer, it shouldn't matter that much, as long as she gets there eventually.

But I think the Federation now know about them, know about their level of skating and their results, and they will send them as long as they din't have anyone better, but they would probably prefer to give a chance someone new. Both Kayumova and Yushenko are skaters who will place approximately 3-7 place at JGP, and while it is not completely bad, it is just not quite good enough. They had two seasons of attempts. Time to get a chance someone new.
