Akatyeva's programs have her displaying charisma on ice, Valieva while a lovely skater does these ethereal programs and relies heavily on her elegant body movement, she doesn't really emote through her facial expressions, she had like 1 facial expression last season.

Veronika Zhilina: Jesus Christ, there is more music beyond R&J! (Deep Purple: Smoke on the water). Has been a while since Iveth Toth skated something like that (AC/DC back in black /thunderstruck).
Now purists and haters are going to say this music is inappropriate for a 12 years old girl.
Sofiya Akatieva: Was the camera angle or she has grown? She looks like more beauty.
Was her first real competition since March, so she is going to polish details as she goes.
Another Quad girl with cantilever. Who learned it from? She used to train 4T alongside Sasha.

Thanks.
She is superb. The cupboard ain't bear for TT.
Even after a devastating summer wbent TT lost Sasha Veronika and then to the shock of everyone Aliona.I don't know if her performance was on par with Kamilas. It doesn't really matter at this point. Tamela has a chance to make the next Olympic team. Sofia does not return she's too young.

I must say, however, that hers and Zhilina’s cantilevers where quite underwhelming compared to Sasha’s. Can we call her cantilever queen besides quad queen?

Russian speakers can help me out here, but I think that Magomed is a version of Muhammad. Evidently it is a fairly common name in Chechnya? There have been a number of "Sultan Muhammad's" throughout history, but according to Internet sources, this combination "Sultanmagtomed translates intp something like "Mighty warrior for Muhammed" or "Struggling mightily for Muhammed"or something of the sort.
Is this right?

I think definitely NO! I have been studying Russian for many years and I am Slavic (Bulgarian). To me it sounds - Sultan is "sultan", "mago" is probably "magic" or "magician" and then "medova" is probably "honey" (the food) or something related to bears (?), but then it would be "medvedeva" and not just "medova". Once I translated the last part as "bear" but it is actually just "honey".
Now I read on the internet that it is the Russian version of Muhammed... Wow... Translated literally it has different meaning..

And they both used Marin Honda’s version of the song. I guess there wasn’t really enough time to choose more interesting or creative music/choreo.

I am also Slavic and have studied linguistics, including how words change during their evolution. I'm too lazy to look up the etymology of Sultanmagomedova's name now, but your explanation is the one that strikes me as extremely unlikely. I don't know much of South Slavic languages, but it's quite unlikely that a foreign word stem like 'sultan' would be combined with old native words in a single compound. Not to mention I am not buying the 'magic' element; the 'o' alone does not make any sense at all, alternating between 'h' and 'g' is very common among Slavic languages, plus I have yet to see a Slavic name where anything derived from 'magic' is actually used. I definitely think Mathman is right.
Sorry about the off-topic.
I hope the junior test skates go well and safely for all participants.

It is - Muhammad/Mohammad/Muhammed/Mohammed/Mahomed/Mahomet/Magomed/Magomet/Mehmet/Mahmud/etc - are all different transliterations of the same name.
Not only in Chechnya, but all over the Northern Caucasus; one Sultan Mahmud (Magomet) ruled NC in XVI century, won a battle against Russia (but lost a war), and most probably started the ball rolling with people naming their kids in his honour.

Yes, I know. I used literally translation. I admitted that I was wrong in the end.

I think it says that she's learning it and that they'll show it as soon as it's ready.
topic: Due to figure skating I've learnt soooooo much Russian :dance: Nowadays I'm able to read interviews and articles and understand them essentially 100%, with the odd phrase or two being a problem sometimes. It's harder to understand while listening but I still understand a lot. However, this is mainly true for figure skating related things, most of it goes away for other things.

I do not call anybody or anything stupid here. UNLKE YOU! SO RUDE! I admit mistakes when I make one or when my favourite skaters make mistakes. Unlike most of the people here. Why you did not quote the end of my post? Hmmm. I almost immediately saw my mistake and changed my version.- Joined

No. I do not.
But I knew that people here are going to say that. Despite that I did not delete my post. Since I do not care and I can admit mistakes, unlike most people here. In the end of my post I admitted my mistake. Interesting how many foreign languages do you use? Since I use 4. Just asking.
Ah ok I see. I understood that they mentioned her SP from yesterday and assumed they prepared the quad salchow for the FSI think it says that she's learning it and that they'll show it as soon as it's ready.
