2017-18 State of Russian Ladies skating

[Grin]

Actually, Stanislava did very well in Junior Worlds with 4th place, two clean skates, no falls and good PCS scoring.
Most of the critiques appeared unjustified and unfair. Good job, Stasya! :gclap:

I was expecting you to write this much earlier. It seems something has distracted your attention

Well, now that the crazy historical week is over with some quads landed and records broken, it's a good thing to remember that next week there will be the Russian younger age championships!

Some more or less notable entries include:

Sofia Akatieva
Elizaveta Berestovskaya
Maria Dmitrieva
Anastasia Zinina
Daria Loboda
Sofia Samodelkina

And also hmm the... slightly-older age championships, where some of the entries are:

Alena Kanysheva
Sofia Moroz
Sofia Muravyova
Anfisa Ryabova

It's not even funny how much stronger the younger age category is. Still, quite a bit to watch... The draw's on the 13th and the younger age elements on the 14th.

Good one. I sincerely wish Sasha and other juniors maintaining Stasya's physical shape at 18 years of age.

um, that is not an achievement to have childish figure at age of 18.

And she does not look that juniorish either in her figure. She is well beyond the "arms and leg phase", so maybe she should move on from competing with children.

 

[tars]

um, that is not an achievement to have childish figure at age of 18.

I didn't say she achieved it, nor she has childish figure. Objectively speaking, she is nearly 18yo adult, athletic skater, capable of jumping high and delivering cleanish free skate with seven triples. There aren't many skaters like that in Russia. :thumbsup:

 

[Caustica]

Huh? I don’t get it. So, Stanislava is the first alternate? Who are numbers 2 and 3?

Yes, Stanislava was named as first alternate. Both her and Polina are listed as substitutes. There is no third substitute listed.

Who are the 1 2 and 3? I would think the same 3 as the olympics.

Well she is a junior. And there are like 5 juniors who are able to deliver clean SP and FS with triples, and score higher than her internationally.

I've been saying whole season, Stasya should skate in seniors this year.

Well, thats the funiest thing i saw at Juniors world. I think she will be remembered cause that for sure. Considering she couldnt possibly win, i think thats an achievment

*Fifteen juniors who can skate clean and score higher than her

Okay, so now it's the question.

Will we see Stasya in Milan?

why should we? :sarcasm:

 

[moriel]

why should we? :sarcasm:

If a sub is needed, I hope they send tsurskaya after the JW fail (fail not as in "completely bombed", but fail as in "Panenkova or Tarakanova or Gubanova would have skated better")

 

[kalee]

+1...
Tsurskaya could have a shot at a top 6-7 spot if she has a clean skate that beats or meets her SB this year (210), whereas Stasya will probably max out in the low 190+ range if clean, which probably translates into a best-case scenario of top 8 - top 10.

Any news/rumors abot Gubanova transfer to Buyanova?

 

[atsumiri]

Any news/rumors abot Gubanova transfer to Buyanova?

:shocked::eekn:

 

[Tolstoj]

Any news/rumors abot Gubanova transfer to Buyanova?

Is that really a thing?

I mean for certain aspects that's awesome, finally she would get the scores she always deserved but at the same time why move? She was doing fine with Angelina Turenko, she might lost that consistency at CSKA.

Plus what does that mean for Radionova and Sotskova?

 

[Spirals for Miles]

Gubanova needs her jump technique fixed. If Buyanova can do that, and is willing to, then sure, go to her. But... Radionova's really regressed under her, I think (yes, she had a good performance at CoC, but she had good performances with Goncharenko, too)

I think Gubanova needs Mishin. Teaches good technique, has good reputation, doesn't have many high level ladies right now, and doesn't really want to do the crazy programs, and Gubanova doesn't either, it'd appear
