Omg we have the same one but with "she'd be a bicycle" [emoji23]
The 3 A's made it back to Moscow (after 1am!) and were greeted with great fanfare!

Looks like Channel 1 covered their arrival, so hopefully we'll get some video too.

Here's a fan-cam version of the ladies' medal ceremony where you can actually see Aliona telling the other girls to join her on the top step, which I thought was such a sweet moment. :luv17:

Around 3:13 you can see Aliona talking to Sasha and Anna--I think to tell them to come onto the top step during the anthem--and around 4:34 you can see her gesturing for them to come up. :agree:

Where I come from they say:
"If my granny had weels, she'd be a wheelbarrow"
Well.
Since this is a thread about Russians, let me allow myself to say that a similar saying about grandma is popular in Russia. It has the same meaning, but is more ... forthrightly. How:"If grandmother had (....), she'd be a grandfather"

What are you referring too?
Probably a good thing in the long run. Russia is full of talented little girls, and it is good they are not just centered in one club. There was a girl from St.Petersberg (skated to Grease) with sky high power jumps. Today there were at least 12 from other clubs you can tell are loaded with talent, great skating skills and good jumps.

Samodelkina SP: https://youtu.be/MMzCJl2ThgI , she makes it look so easy and probably has the skill under her belt now. 3A - 3T seems like a good combination. Ted will be impressed if she repeats cleanly in Saransk' Cup Final.
This is a competition of the CSKA column, so a little biased in their favour.
But Samodelkina was best. All the better skaters well conditioned and with high skill level. Russia's novices program is in full forwards motion.
Petrosyan got a time penalty?

It's not competition from other schools that made the day bad for Khrustalny,but bad performances from both Akatyeva (almost lost her combo, jumped 2A instead of 3A) and Zhilina (fell on 3Lz in combo).

yes, delayed start.
Petrosyan is such a beautiful skater. Jumps looked solid and strong today as well. Samodelkina nailed the 3A3T,-wow. So many of the girls in the 60-65 range will challenge in the future as well-I thought they were just as strong as the more well known girls.
Alyona Kanysheva is leaving singles for ice dance. She says her injury was too serious for jumps. (Info from her Instagram account.)

She had so much promise
I hope she succeeds in dance.

I was just thinking about how much I missed Kanysheva yesterday! Ugh I really wish we could’ve seen more of her as a singles skater since she was so charismatic and had so much potential. But best of luck to her in ice dance! Her skating skills are definitely beyond good enough for ice dance.

I'm so sad about Kanysheva. She was my favorite of the Russian juniors this season (though we barely got to see her).
What is the nature of the injury that no longer allows her to jump? Her Instagram post says the injury is from November 2018, but how did she learn a 4T and skate at test skates, etc.?
I hope she succeeds in ice dance, though I assume that most ice dancers start at a much younger age. Does she already have a partner?

She can stay under Sambo-70 at the Tchaikovskaya rink, or even at Khrustalniy which also has a dance program IIRC.
Back injury? Blocked (which I believe is cutting the nerves so you feel no pain?) But not healed obviously and unable to withstand the loads of training and competing ultra-si? Or already degenerated and incurable?
Now there are no 2005 born skaters left, so perhaps reinforcement are necessary? Tarakanova accepted back, Sinitsyna, Shulskaya?
Tarakanova has a 'history' ....
Sinitsyna has a 'character' ....
Shulskaya in my eyes would be a good prospect. To me, she seems to have the good artistry, skills and conditioning needed to make it under #TeamTutberidzeForProgress, and most importantly the right mind set, serious, dedicated, eager, intelligent. And still young and pliable enough to be developed.

Didn't Eteri's daughter Diana Davis move to dance at a similar age? She and her partner are quite successful at the junior level.
