Soooo excited to see the junior nationals next!!!!! Are Frolova and Sinitsina and Tsibinova and Graecheva going to junior nationals? I can’t fathom who’ll be invited to junior worlds.

A very important competition maybe even more so than rusnats for Nugumanova and all of the Anastasias will be the Russian Cup final. One or two of them can really shine there and that can springboard their careers forward. The truth is right now a few of them are stuck in neutral partly because of the insane depth of the Russinas have. It really looks like Liza made a great move going to this new coach because she's been on point all season.

I assume they're all going but I can't remember the line up...
Valieva will obviously be first choice for Junior Worlds.
I think Usacheva has a very good chance of going too
Who knows on the rest...quite a few are capable of earning a spot.

And for anyone who would change Kostornia is a prima donna is just crazy. It's just not fair. Aliona is clearly very personable very outgoing and very comfortable with herself and her career. She smiles and laughs a lot and it's great at what she does so I guess that can be taken the wrong way. Not fair though.

What is Anna Frolova's coaching situation? She was still listed on screen as being coached by #TeamPanova, but actually was seen with Davydov at the boards, in this morning training session there were some shots from the dry hall with Anna stretching and walking away right past Panova with neither giving the other any recognition at all.
TAT mentioned in the 1tv.ru live stream there was a emergency change of teams?
Perhaps even done with the FFKKR presidium right in Krasnoyarsk? And again I got the impression not all is well with Sinitsyna and Panova.
And I do recall certain conversation in the russian language threads over Panova's skaters having diva attitudes as expressed by Kanysheva and Shabotova (in the eyes of those Russians, that are probably better informed than me from the few interactions as seen on stream?)
AFAIK, Snow Leopards rink is in Reutov, outside of Moscow's MKAD ring road. So when you live in Moscow proper and have college there, it might be more convenient to train in a location closer to home, easier to travel to by Metro.
I haven't found any news about this in the flood of news that has become available but am curious as to why and how.

I know, she is so down to earth and humble herself! She's only really starting to even believe in herself too, earlier in the season she was a bag of nerves and self doubt.

Aliona took her SP to a new level. Her 3A has never looked more secure or dazzling in the short. I'd argue that her quick mastery of the jump is something we haven't seen in ladies skating before.
Speaking of axels, Anna's 2A is looking bigger and bigger. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a surprise from her later in the season, but she is more of the type to wait until she is confident on an element before debuting. As always, her SP is sublime but it's getting sharper. Might be Daniil's true masterpiece of the season from my perspective.

If Alena is clean, it will genuinely be difficult to beat her, even for Anna and Sasha. But this is assuming she's perfect, including all level 4s and no underrotations, edge calls or slightly wonky landings. Otherwise, the quadsters can afford one fall.
I'd be interested to see if they'd dock her pcs for not being in time to the music since it seemed to happen at GPF (her pcs boost for clean performances there was quite conservative).

I would hope the Junior World Team is Valieva, Usacheva and Sinitsyna. Sinitsyna is by far the best artistically, and in terms of correct technique she’s probably the best out of all of the top juniors (no matter nationality). Valieva has star quality and the quad and Usacheva has the passion, emotion and the potential to be something amazing.

Her loop combo was the best I've seen it too! Anna is really growing on me more so than she ever has and I was already a fan!

What if... Maiia lands her 4S though? *fingers crossed*

Sititsyna seems to be struggling with consistency at the moment, which is a shame as she is had wonderful skating qualities.
Kromykh could take the spot if she improves her own consistency, especially if she can land the 4S.

Kanysheva being out still breaks my heart.
Yes
She should be right in the mix, and missing so much makes it harder for her on her return to get back in to the fray too.

Varvara Kisel's 3A+3T combination from todays free skate in CSKA "Ded Moroz" cup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLl1pX6tClM, huge and well landed. She crashed on her solo triksel yesterday and today, hence is wearing the padded shorts.
AFAIK, Kisel (2006) is from Krasnodar region in the south and currently training at CSKA.

It's funny how some claim that Aliona is favored by her coaches and federation, and that Anna or Sasha are being pushed aside. I mean, they're all of the same age and come from the same coach, so it would be rational to think that judges just give them scores that they think the girls deserve. And Aliona excels in all parts of skating, the scores given to her are very logical when you compare them to what her teammates got.

She's a powerful young skater! Skates a little slow but she really springs up into those jumps.

I'm pretty sure if Anna were to start to dominate, she would get a backlash aimed at her too. It's pathetic the way something like that happens.

but its definitely funny because it was the opposite just months ago!

Well, Khromykh hasn't shown herself to be very consistent, and wasn't in that latest dance video, which seemed to have the 'ultra-si' class, or it could just be a scheduling coincidence ...
