2018-19 Russian Ladies' figure skating

[sweetice]

Here are all the skaters that I think have a chance to make their junior debut next season

Good summary :thumbsup:

Right now i think we'll see for sure, on the next JGP season, at least Kanysheva, Sinitsyna, Valieva and Khromykh.

For Usacheva, Frolova, Safonova, Shabotova and Smirnova the test skates, and if Tarakanova and Vasilieva goes up, will be decisive.

To me Tarakanova and Vasilieva both better stay in junior for another season. Tarakanova can lead the team, while Vasilieva can redeem herself and represent Davydov on the competition, waiting for Samodelkina (2020/2021). Right now Smirnova don't seem as ready.

I hardly think Vika needs to any redeeming :con3: She has been quietly proving her strengths this season, and did well at RChYG, RN (second highest TES behind Asya), RJN, RCF bronze medal... lost track there have been so many. Vika seems to suffer"damned with faint praise" a lot.

I have an older, slow phone and I don't own a different camera, so I can only film some short videos, but mostly I wanna focus on seeing it, so I might give you much content, sorry ^_^

I hope the security will let me sit through the practices too! My number one wish is to maybe take a picture with them :luv17:

However, I will bring my laptop too, so I can post how the day went once I'm back in the hotel ^_^

Understand of course. Any news or reminiscences afterwards would always be appreciated.

Hey, I will be going too! It will be my first live competition, so I am very excited. So far only bought cute pandas for the less famous girls, the ones that don't receive tons of plushies. But I am thinking also of a fairy for Anna and a scary monster for Sasha Any ideas are more than welcome...

Good to know there will be plenty of real-life fans there supporting our jubilant juniors. Thinking of last year's rather dismal venue and fairly poor turnout at Sofia when Sasha quadded spectacularly (not to downplay those who did make their way there and offer support).

You're certainly in for a treat.

And like I expected nobody cares about FS at the Universiade when neither Zhenya nor Liza are there RIP. Such a good chance for promotion is missed

But the super juniors are exciting I can agree on that!

I think I lost my interest lately.

I will be in Zagreb though, to support all the skaters.

I meant just about the JGP itself. She was the lower scored russian lady of the past tournament, but right now i think that she can do better than most of the newer eligible, because of how well her performances and results have grow on this season.

Wait. When is the Universiade, and which juniors and seniors ladies are competing? ( I’ve been absent from the forum for a while)

No juniors at the Universiade. Only University students are eligible.

Apparently Stanislava and Maria are competing but I'm not 100% sure as there has been some shuffling around.
