Unless Russia is going to Croatia with 1 skater, she's skating next week (unless she is injured). There is nobody to sub her out. She should really try for consistency here and you know Russia would if they could. A lower base value helped Tukt regained consistency and confidence. Then she can add difficulty as she progress. First thing, stop digging herself in a hole in the SP :no:

She's off the list for Croatia. :cry:

Repost from FSU about Sima Season Best:

She's currently 39th on the 2015-16 SB list and unless she gets sent to Jr. Worlds and/or goes to a CS event and has a big turn-around, she's going to be starting from zero if she goes senior next season, as she's unlikely to hang on in the Top 24 WS when 2013-14 drops and 2015-16 gets factored by 70%. There are four Russian Juniors ahead of her from JGP in the SB list, three substantially and one solidly so, and enough senior Russian Ladies for GP spots, with Soskova a likely candidate to move up, Sotnikova likely eligible for two, etc.
 
It doesn't seem to me as a great news. So frequent change of coaches :disapp: I'm affraid for her even more now

Look how she's been doing so far since going back to SPB...how could it possibly be worse? Sure, some of her issues are probably related to puberty, but I had the impression her original coach had taken her as far as she could. Sima isn't changing rinks or moving again, and she will have other skaters to compete with. And I love Rukavitsyn as a coach - it seems his skaters have been improving a lot over the past year or so (the younger ones, at least).
 
Heh, she could've started the season under Rukavitsyn instead of waiting until now :shrug: Anyway I hope she skates better at Ice Challenge.

But why? What is the reason of the change? The low results at JGP Logrono? And if there will be the same results throughout the season? The change of coach again? It isn't a decission of the problem :no: I do want to be mistaken

There was an interview in June (?) that said she hadn't decided on a coach for the season. This article has to be somewhere in this thread. But she made it sound like Pisarenko was just a temporary solution and she was still looking.

No coach is a magician, and it's not realistic to expect her problems to go away overnight. Things might be rough for awhile as she struggles with puberty, but no, I don't believe she will change again any time soon. We know she went back to SPB for family reasons, and it seems she wasn't planning on staying with Pisarenko longterm anyway. I don't see her as someone who hops from coach to coach just on a whim...it's just the circumstances she found herself in.

I agree, at least until we get evidence otherwise. IMO it would have been best if she could have stayed with Etri from a strictly skating standpoint but it is obvious that for personal reasons she felt she had to move back to SPB and so here she is. I also do think puberty is actually a large part of what is going on with her right now- it is obviously not all (at least probably) but I think it is a large part.

I am sad they pulled her from Croatia but will be looking forward to the Ice Challenge.
