Figure Skating in Cyprus

I'll be sure to give a few extra cheers for Polina at the Riga Cup :cheer: :cheer2:
 
btw, the links to the 2015 Cyprus Championships all give a 404 Not found error.

Will the data ever be available again? It is not on wayback or webcite either. :cry:

If not, you could always use links to the 2015 Cyprus championships thread. A lot of the results were copied there.

I am aware of that.

When I was making out the thread last week, any time I went to the CSF website (or the entries/results pages for the 2015 championships), I was getting one of those Website Hacked animations.

So, when they realised, I suppose the CSF decided that the best thing to do would be to take the website down completely.

Hopefully they will put the site back up again, and not leave us without access to the 2015 results pages.

And maybe while they're at it, they could even put the 2014 results pages back up as well! ;) :biggrin:

That would be a good thing. Even if they put it up for a short while :biggrin: we could always archive it immediately...

What I forgot to mention is that, when the site was hacked, I was able to get the results for the past two Cypriot Nationals from Stats On Ice:

2015 Cyprus Championships
2014 Cyprus Championships

Curran Oi has done a great job in putting together all the information in that database. However, at the end of the day he is only human, and the odd mistake has slipped in here and there.

For example, I can't remember who it was, but when researching one of my recent Fan Fests, I came across a competition where there was a significant difference between what Stats On Ice had as one of their segment scores and what it said on the original Entries/Results Page. And I only noticed there was a difference because this score just happened to be a PB.

That is a point. I don't know if any of you have noticed, but I am classifying PB's differently to how Stats On Ice do. They just have ISU and non-ISU. I have ISU, International and National. I just thought this would add an extra level of interest.

But, doing it like this means that I have to work out what the PB scores are myself, by going through the Competitive History table I have made out. Then I check them against the PB's as listed on Stats On Ice and the ISU Bios. And that is how I found the discrepancy above.

The moral of the story is: where possible, use the original Entry/Results Pages.

And that is why it is so annoying when they are taken down. :mad: :bang:

So, I have my fingers crossed that this is only a temporary thing with the CSF website.

(I'm still trying to work out why anybody would want to hack a skating website, though... :confused: )

CaroLiza_fan
 
They hack them in the hopes of downloading malware onto the computers of people checking out the site. GS has to be, and is, very vigilant about this stuff.

And you are right. The original data is the best:love:

:slink: which is why I have been on a tear to get as much of it waybacked as possible this season.
 
The Entries/Results Page is up for the Riga Cup.

Unfortunately, Nikita Vitryanyuk is not in the starting order for the Men's SP. So, it looks like he has withdrawn. :disapp:

HOWEVER, Polina Ustinova will be the final skater in Group 3 of the Ladies SP. She will be the 15th of the 32 skaters to start.

:cheer: ALL THE BEST POLINA!!!! :cheer:

I was just looking through the entries for today's Sarajevo Open, and noticed that Polina Ustinova is competing in Junior Ladies and Daniella Ipsarides is competing in Advanced Novice Ladies.

Entries/ Results Page:
http://www.ksbih.ba/SO2016/index.htm

EDIT: There is a Livestream, but the quality leaves a LOT to be desired:

http://ski.ba/#!/extra-streams/Zetra

Polina will be the second to start the SP in her category, which starts at 12:05 CET (11:05 GMT).

Daniella is the 11th to start the SP in her category, which is actually second in the final group (Group 3). It started at 08:00 CET (07:00 GMT), so is actually over now. :slink:

:cheer: ALL THE BEST GIRLS!!! :cheer:

Just wanted to update you on how Daniella Ipsarides and Polina Ustinova got on in Sarajevo.

Unfortunately, Daniella has been very sick for the past 2 weeks. She has been bedridden with a high fever. So, although she did take part in the Advanced Novice Ladies competition (her first of the season), she was not able to perform to her usual standard.

Daniella finished 12th in each segment, and 12th overall. But, considering how sick she has been, she did VERY well.

2016 Sarajevo Open Advanced Novice Ladies SP: Results; Protocols
2016 Sarajevo Open Advanced Novice Ladies FS: Results; Protocols
2016 Sarajevo Open Advanced Novice Ladies: Overall Results

In the SP, she got a half-point deduction for a fall. Now, this was very unfortunate, as half a point was exactly the distance she was behind Croatian skater Iva GLIGORA at the end of the SP. Iva had a fall in the FS to balance things up on that count.

Daniella was definitely the skater that suffered most by having both segments held on the same day. She was in the final group to skate in the SP, and the first skater to go in the FS. :eek: This would have been tough for somebody who was fully healthy, never mind somebody in Daniella’s position. She did put up a valiant fight, but Iva did enough in the FS to hold onto the position.

On the plus side, Daniella did get to meet Liza:

:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

In Junior Ladies, Polina also had consistent placings. She was 6th in each segment, and 6th overall.

2016 Sarajevo Open Junior Ladies SP: Results; Protocols
2016 Sarajevo Open Junior Ladies FS: Results; Protocols
2016 Sarajevo Open Junior Ladies: Overall Results

For the whole competition, Polina was in a fight with Croatian skater Valentina MIKAC over 6th and 7th positions. After the SP, there was only 1.36 points between them. Polina was unfortunate to be the first to skate in the FS, and she had a fall. But, when Valentina came on, she had a fall too. So, it balanced things up, and Polina finished ahead of her in the FS by 1.12 points.

So, all the best to the girls in their next competition.

Next competition for Daniella Ipsarides was Sofia Trophy in Bulgaria, results here:

http://clubdenkovastaviski.com/SofiaTrophy/SofiaTrophy-2016/NonISU/CAT002EN.HTM

Thank you so much, Liud. :bow: :clap: :points:

I had seen photos of Daniella from the Sofia Trophy, but could not find her in the results. But now I know why - I was looking at the Entries / Results Page for the ISU competition, not realising that there was a separate Entries / Results Page for the younger levels. :palmf:

Curious how she was competing at Basic Novice Level at this competition when she normally competes at Advanced Novice. :scratch2: Must have stricter rules on ages in Bulgaria.

Bearing in mind that this was only a few days after the Sarajevo Open, and so she was still not fully healthy, Daniella finished 7th. BUT, she had no falls and was just 2.5 points behind the girl in 5th.

There were actually lots of girls representing Cyprus that I had never come across before competing in the even younger age levels. Including one girl with a very Irish name! (Must be an ex-pat). So, I will have to keep an eye out for her and the other girls in the future.

All the non-ISU results from the Sofia Trophy can be found here:

http://clubdenkovastaviski.com/SofiaTrophy/SofiaTrophy-2016/NonISU/index.htm

And next competition for Polina Ustinova was Olympic Hopes in Brasov, results here:

https://e6a6d83a214ea77865e67a50ad5...ltNlIzbDNEY1U/OLYMPIC HOPES 2016/CAT012RS.HTM

Mmmm. So Polina U had a fall in each segment. But, she still finished 2nd in the SP and 4th in the FS, which meant she won the silver medal!!! :cheer:

And I just spotted that Giorgia Isabella Secchi was also competing in the Junior competition. She finished 6th in the SP and 7th in the FS, which meant she finished 7th overall. Giorgia had one fall, in the FS.

Also, given that she is half Romanian, I am not surprised to see that Danae Hadjimitsi was also competing in Brasov, in the Advanced Novice competition. She was 2nd in each segment, and so won the silver medal. :cheer: She had 1 point of deductions for falls.

All the results from the Olympic Hopes can be found here:

https://e6a6d83a214ea77865e67a50ad5...PRFltNlIzbDNEY1U/OLYMPIC HOPES 2016/index.htm

:cheer: WELL DONE TO EVERYBODY, AT BOTH EVENTS!!! :cheer:

Thanks for the recent updates, Liud. :bow: :clap: :points:

By the way, Daniela Ipsarides was also competing at the weekend. She was competing as a guest skater in the Greek Championships (for more, see this thread)

Results PDF (in mixture of Latin and Greek characters):
http://www.eox.gr/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/results-2016.pdf

Daniela was not included in the results table because she was a guest skater. But, she did very well in what was her debut competition at Junior level...

SHE WON THE COMPETITION!!! :cheer: :clap: :rock: :party2: :points:

Daniela will again be competing at Junior level at the Cypriot Championships in 2 weekend's time.

I will update the results tables at the start of this thread after Nationals are over.

:cheer: ALL THE BEST EVERYBODY!!! :cheer:

Just to let you know that I have started a competition thread in preparation for this weekend's Cypriot Championships:

Really intrigued to see how the Junior Ladies competition goes, now that Giorgia and Daniela have moved up to join Polina.

I will be away in England for a motorbike race from this afternoon until Monday, so I will say this now:

:cheer: ALL THE BEST EVERYBODY!!! :cheer:

Back from my travels, and one of the first things I did when I put on the computer was to look up the results on the Cypriot Championships.

I have written a summary of what happened in the following post in the event thread:

http://www.goldenskate.com/forum/sh...629-May-2016&p=1441288&viewfull=1#post1441288

But, since I already highlighted that competition in my previous comment, I will add here that the Junior Ladies did go the way I was kinda expecting it to...

Daniella-Vanessa Ipsarides won the Junior Ladies title at her first attempt!!!!!!

Two wins in her first 2 competitions at Junior level! This is looking promising...! ;) :biggrin:

By the way, the Entries / Results Pages for the past four editions of the Cypriot Championships are now back up on the CSF website, and can be accessed from the folowing index page:

Well, maybe we could have some more talk about music videos. ;)

Here is yet another roof ladder pic:

Anna climbing up ladder to Kristina

Shortly after my last post, Kristina and Anna travelled to Verona:

Not sure where this next photo was taken. The photo is tagged as Orenburg, but I don't know if it was taken there, or if it was just where Anna was when she uploaded it.

And this one (from Kristina's vKontakte) was not tagged:

I could link to lots more photos on Kristina's vKontakte. But, enough of the photos. Here is the finished video:

Well, Polina Ustinova's Free Skate did mean she climbed up from her 27th after the Short Programme.

Polina finished 26th out of 28 in the Ladies FS at the Cup Of Mordovia, with a score of 36.90.

This meant that she finished 26th overall, with a total score of 58.31.

Meanwhile, Daniella Vanessa Ipsarides will be making her Junior Grand Prix debut today at the Ljubljana Cup.

Hence my new avatar of her with Liza Tuktamysheva:

Full-sized version

The photo was taken when they both competed in the Sarajevo Open in February 2016.

And, here is some Fan Art that I made to mark the occasion:

https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.ne...=2256c66b5f5825c4f02f6ebe88c01d90&oe=587A2FC7

OK. Time for some skating updates.

It has been a busy start to 2017 for the Cypriot skaters.

(Apologies in advance if I have missed any competitions that have had Cypriot skaters attending. Feel free to correct me!)


EDU Sport Trophy: 04–07 January 2017

At the start of January, Daniella Vanessa Ipsarides finished 8th in Junior Ladies at the EDU Sport Trophy in Romania. She was 6th in the SP and 8th in the FS. Since this was the first International competition at Junior level where she had completed both segments, all her scores were new International PB's.

Also at the EDU Sport Trophy, Laura Farran (who I have now found out does not have an Irish background, as I previously suspected from her name) finished 17th in the single segment Basic Novice A Girls competition.

Sofia Trophy: 08–12 February 2017

Last week, three of the Cypriot skaters were competing at the Sofia Trophy in Bulgaria.

In Junior Ladies, Polina Ustinova finished 31st overall: 29th in the SP and 30]th in the FS.

Eliana Kalogirou finished 34th in both segments, as well as overall.

Meanwhile, Andrea Loizides finished 12th in the single segment Cubs I. Girls (1.7.2006 - 30.6.2007) competition.

European Youth Olympic Festival: 13–15 February 2017

At the start of this week, Daniella became the first skater to represent Cyprus in the European Youth Olympic Festival, held in Turkey. (It's basically a Junior version of Europeans, but held within a multi-sport event). She was 21st in both segments, as well as overall.

I should add - as a lot of people were commenting in the event thread, the ice was terrible. So, between this and the high altitude, all the skaters were struggling. But, Daniella still managed to set new International PB's in all segments. So, fair play to her!

Olympic Hopes: 16–19 February 2017

The Olympic Hopes started yesterday in Romania. And there are a good number of Cypriot skaters entered.

Entries / Results Page

Junior Ladies: Polina Ustinova, Giorgia Isabella Secchi and Danae Hadjimitsi.
Basic Novice A Ladies: Laura Farran
Basic Novice B Ladies: Maria Eleni Loizides
Cubs Girls: Andrea Loizides

Daniella had been intending to compete here but, because she had to stay in Erzurum for the EYOF Closing Ceremony, she has been replaced by Polina.

The Cubs Girls FS was held yesterday (it was a single segment competition), and there is no sign of Andrea in the FS Results or the Protocols. Start Number #8 is missing, so I assume that was her and that she withdrew.

The Basic Novice A Girls FS is on at the moment. It was due to start at 10:00 CET (09:00 GMT), and Laura was the fourth to start. There is no Time Schedule or Live Scoring, so there is no way of knowing how things are going.

The Basic Novice B Girls FS starts at 15:22 CET (14:22 GMT), and Maria Eleni will be the 5th and final skater to start.

The Junior Ladies SP starts at 15:55 CET (14:55 GMT). Danae will be the skater that kicks off the competition. Giorgia will be the 5th skater to start, kicking off the second group, with Polina starting directly after her.

:cheer: ALL THE BEST GIRLS!!! :cheer:
