Dudakov... mmm..nobody knows as usual![]()
father Frost (Ded Moroz) or what?
By the way, what do you think about the new BV for the jumps, if have seen it already? Basically - BV is lowered, but by widening GOE it can do more now (or less of course). So it will more depend on the judges now. Good or bad?

Thank you EdRoz for going further than Google Translate ever could. And, mind you, compared to its Japanese translations, Google is quite good with Russian. But you are better, they should hire you.
I sent a Birthday Card to Alina and Google translated my message. May the force be with me.

Thanks!)) For sure I have on my local PC full set of videos and full metadata of videos. I am uploading only the videos about Alina. Each video first of all is uploading without publishing. So all autostrikes automatically have apllied to the hidden video that allows me to avoid getting autostrike trying to publish the video. So, I plan to be very carefull all the way.) Yes, torrent may be the alternative way.FreeSkater, what a great archive! I suggest you to duplicate it on rutracker before it gets blocked on youtube, which regularly happens to channels like yours.
Alina just posted to her Instagram Stories, did her nails in honor of Masaru (there is an Akita drawing in them).
Edited to add link to the stories: https://www.instagram.com/p/BjIa3M0jIkO (MASARU mani)
Edited to add: she did a small live too https://www.instagram.com/p/BjIaK2DD8UC/
Best manicure ever!
Do we know who threw the pillow at her?
Masaru will go to the ice rink with me, twice a day, so she has four walks already)
next season I need stable jumps and more senior skating.
After training I will be very tired, especially now that we have an offseason
and Masaru will cheer me up ))
Please come soon! I'm waiting for you very much !!!
Kiss :luv17:

Thanks for the info!this is her mom's beauty salon , Leysan post some pictures from there
She does, right? She looks every bit the young lady now. It was nice that she stayed “child like” into her early teens (at 13 she looked really young), childhood is such a short period of time might as well enjoy it to the max.
But I love to see how she grew up and came into her own, she is a young lady now but she kept her sweet spirit and calm demeanor.
Was just checking the new one vs the old one. They lowered the Base Value of all 3s and 4s (except 3F, why???).
Jump BVWas 17-18 /Is now 18-19
3T 4.3 / 4.2
3S 4.4 / 4.3
3Lo 5.1 / 4.9
3F 5.3 / 5.3
3Lz 6.0 / 5.9
3A 8.5 / 8.0
4T 10.3 / 9.5
4S 10.5 / 9.7
4Lo 12.0 / 10.5
4F 12.3 / 11.0
4Lz 13.6 / 11.5
4A 15.0 / 12.5
Edited to add: my posted table looks awful. Anyway, first number is old BV and second number is new BV.
Of the top of my head I'd say they lowered the BV of Alina's signature combo by some 0.2 on the Loop and 0.1 on the Lutz. And she is the only one currently doing it in Senior Ladies.
Why ISU???? WHYYYYYY??? Well, the quad people are even worst out.
With the new range of Grade of Execution -5/+5 I'd say people will be less encouraged to attempt a jump they might bomb on, "I fell/Stepped Out/Wobbled but rotated it" are not going to be worth it.
Edited again to add:
- On GOE (grade of execution) on the current system -3/+3, Alina never got a +3 score on her combo 3ltz+3lo but consistently gets +2 on it, her 3Ltz on its own nearly got into +3 territory (at Olympics FS, was 0.1 shy). On the new system I'm guessing scored will vary (meaning her current awarded scores are not an example to fit her in the new table) if they were, she'd be between a +3 and a +4.
- Her 3F got a +3 grade of execution (at Olympics SP), which now that same number score would be a +4. Well she has a great 3F, guess I'll stop complaining about that flip BV after all.
Yup, US Post put the fear of god in me about what exactly was in that envelope (it looked bulky, had some stickers), they kept talking about customs and this and that, took it over a week to actually leave the US, but once it hit Russia it moved fast....then....it cleared customs fast....got to the post office in Moscow and for some reason was listed as a missed delivery (person not there). Now on my tracking it is marked as sitting in the post office, addressee being notified to pick it up at the post office. Sad to put people through so much trouble, will see if it ever moves as delivered/picked up, if it doesn't will try to send it again but will completely take her name out of the address (maybe this was the reason it wasn't just dropped of, although I sent it to Sambo, did put her name below theirs).
Hey, person from Germany sent that whole statue and it got delivered to the Russian Olympic Committee, I'm going to move to Germany.

And another picture of Alina from Izhevsk

Wonder what her shirt says (someone said it reads "from Izhevsk with love")
