I can’t beilieve she’s 18. :eeking:

I’m so glad she had a strong season and seems to have rekindled some of her on ice magic. I hope she can continue to improve and compete. Her sweetness is life!

Happy B-Day !!

This music suits her so well - youth, energy, light - does anyone know the title? It sounds very cafe concert. I hope she will skate something similar next season!

It's the SP she had this season - I think the music is The Waltz Goes On (or something similar) by Anthony Hopkins.


And happy birthday, Sima! May your progress continue into next season, and may you always smile & be happy!

Bummer But living alone in Moscow would be very hard especially for someone so young. I hope Sima enjoys been back in Saint Petersburg and does well with her new coach!

Sorry to hear this. I was hoping that things would work out for her being coached by Plushy. Their relationship/connection was so heart warming at Skate America and she looked much more confident there. Wish her the best.

I knew this some days ago, but that was a secret information. She has an old injury and she was all alone in Moscow.... I like her style, I wish her the best, too

 

[UnNamed]

This is the second time she had to left a good coach/team for whatever reason. She's so unlucky.

Sima will likely represent France next year. Unfortunately I don't have any other information at this time. I spoke with a good friend today who is in the loop.

What a great news! Thus she can compete in the great events! I thought not once the Russian girls have to compete for other countries!

Oh yes!!!!

 

[LRK]

That eases my concern after her coaching switch a little - I'm just so afraid she'll lose heart and quit, and that would be such a shame. I think she has much to give the sport for years to come, and this would ensure us a chance to enjoy her skating in the future.

 

[bluelutz]

I think that there is the rule for that type of occasion.
Skaters have to wait for two skating seasons to switch the countries that they represent if they have already represented one country and try to do that for the other.
However, the federation of the country that they originally represented agree with their release, the penalty can be one season or even less.
As for the Sima's case, I assume she has to wait at least one season, depending on the Russian federation, but this can be the wise idea since so many wonder Russian girls coming to the senior ranks within two years.
For the Olympic Games, she needs the citizenship and the longer waiting period.

 

[geiger]

If this turns out to be true, I will be so happy for Sima! She certainly deserves another chance.

 

[yoloaxel]

Oh wow! Does she have any French relatives or is it just so she can compete? Good for her anyway!

I'm unsure. I have no idea how this came to be.......IF it comes to be....

 

[Princessroja]

Oh no! She was doing so well with Plushy. I'm worried for her, that this will be the end of her career, but I hope not.
