There are only three seniors atm.: Medvedeva with broken foot, Tsurskaya with bone disease in her knees and Zagitova who, according to some, is a puberty bomb waiting to explode.
Looks like Buyanova stands a chance. :think:
She was the coach of Sotskova and Tarakanova, but they left her. Of course, they left because according to them the training facilities, ice time etc, aren't good.
A puberty bomb waiting to explode? What do you mean?
She looks like she is during the puberty right now and she dealt pretty well with the height and weight gain.

tars knows, he/she meant that critics are quick to dismiss her because they think she's pre-pubescent

With Radionova, Sotskova, Gubanova and two full-time figure skating ice rinks, Buyanova is still not even close to Eteri and her single rink, judging by results.

She was born and grew up in St Petersburg. The first time she moved to Moscow to work with Eteri she had to leave and go back to St Petersburg after a year because of financial issues.
Since she mentioned everyday problems I think it's possible Sima might have run out of money again, on top of not wanting to live all by herself in Moscow.

WAS is the important word. It doesn’t matter how great one was in the past. It is the present that counts for future assignments.
I don't understand Serafima's choice either. Sounds to me like she wasn't serious about skating. A shame, she looked promising while she was with Plushenko.
Gubanova needed to go the next level, her coach wasn't doing that for her. I hope it works out between her and Buyanova.

She had her issues at the worst time with it being the first event of the season too. Oh Lordy why? Obviously that hurt her and she lost out on her second spot but all the other girls had falls and errors too. Kostornaya took second to Dasha in one event then started cracking off 200 plus performances after that. She probably had the least amount of falls of anyone this season too which is crazy enough in it of itself. She has gone clean in like six straight events or something like that.

I'd have lost my ways, if not periodic psychological haikus from puremagic. The depth behind these is immense. :think:That's me, when I'm trying to think, being drunk:

I just can't believe those tournaments' numbers in "Top prospects" thread. 
Figure skating, one of the most expensive disciplines, is basically a mass sport for girls in Russia.

Can you imagine Sasha at Russian Nationals in December with Alina and Evgenia? Get your popcorn ready!

As I understand it, all of Sima's family is in St Petersburg and she's still young, so I guess she misses them, someone also mentioned an injury.
But I'm super bummed out because I really enjoyed her programs with Plushy and their coach-student interaction was so cute!
Best of luck to Sima in the upcoming season though!
