2017-18 State of Russian Ladies skating

Is there a particular reason why you didn't write out Tarakanova's full last name? Also, it's Panenkova, not Panenko. Anyway, I don't think any half-serious figure skating fan would doubt that Russia isn't going to have an Olympic favourite or at least strong hopeful in four years' time. The question is who it's going to be...!

Umm, because I couldn't remember the rest of her last name maybe? And thank you for correcting my mistake on Panenkova. They are new to my skating vocabulary. Also any half-serious figure skating fan will probably tell you that the next Russian Olympic champion is probably no one we've ever heard of right now and is probably only 11 or 12 at the moment. But you know that don't you?

A thank you for posting this would seem like a nice or decent thing to do.... so in advance, you're welcome. :)

Gosh, that was unnecessarily aggressive. I was just saying that most figure skating fans would agree with your statement (although I toned it down a bit).
 
Synchronized skating is not so popular, but still, Russian ladies even there are on the skies. Just wanted to let you know they won almost every international cup where they have been participating. Seniors, juniors, novices. Amazing!

Here's four photos from recent event of Team Junost.

Sensational mix of beauty and talent!

In the future, I can see synchronized skating with even those skaters, who have good skating skills and can jump triples, not to mention spins. And you may notice, their dresses are not so long as seniors', and they look much better. They should rethink their dress-code for seniors, where their dresses look ugly because of the length.
 
I hear that your girl Alena just laid one down at JR. Worlds.

Jackie Wong says she should have gotten 75.
 
So Konstantinova is the 6th. Will they continue sending her instead of Tarakanova and Gubanova if she ends up in top 10?

And what was that fall after the end? She can land jumps but can't stand on the ice?

Queen's caprice. She just felt like adding some drama to the final pose. :laugh2:
They had good laugh with coaches, when she was leaving the ice. :biggrin:
 
Besides the fact Kostornaia again couldn't reach level four at her stsq, everything were amazing. Trusova's skate at JGPF was better, and she also didn't reach level four, but still good job. Konstantinova - well, nothing new.
 
Both of the Russian girls did amazingly well. That was one of Kostornaia's best performances and her spins just might have been the best they've ever been. And Trusova's jumps probably were the best they've been in a SP, especially that Lutz was insane and made me have some thoughts regarding her quad Lutz potential...
