Moscow Novice Championships - Qualification to Russian Novice Nationals (Jan 19-22)

Kolja with his refined ballet moves is really something else.

 

[Novalis]

The top three here kind of reminded me of Ladies Nationals. Different level, each topping each other.

Congratulations to all the lucky six.

Utterly devastated for Nikita S, I feel like I jinxed him Now his season is over.

That's my kind of competition!

See yous later for Younger Boys elements.

There will be a good number of competitions yet where he can medal.

 

[Novalis]

So Kolya is now the Novice King of Moscow!

But we still have to choose the Queen, the Prince and the Princess

He's 9th. That is not enough for novice nationals?

According to @siela on page 1, it's only the first 6.

Lena Radionova just posted Instagram stories clip where she is at Moskvich right now

She says that she is in a competition as a "nastavnik" for the first time. Google translate says "mentor".

Good on her. I always liked her a lot.

Good on her. I always liked her a lot.

Me too
Truly a great figure skating personality.

You have to admit that Aljona Zhilina has great hight to her 3Lz, but she's just very inconsistent at the moment. Didn't do too good here either

I'm just astounded to see so many Itty Bitties doing so many triple jumps. My favorite is the little girl who went right before Aliona-Sofia Smagina. Aliona is going to be great though, nice powerful legs, just not in complete control yet-but most kids in this age group are not, nor would you expect them to be.

So, does anybody know how the qualification works and how many participants will be there? Like 6 from 4 regions or something like that?

 

[Novalis]

Before the last six in jump elements Daria Sarymsakova is in a clear lead. She was perfect with her lutzes.

 

[flanker]

Baziliuk did also well with her Lutzes.

 

[flanker]

So, if I understand and count correctly, after the jumps (and before the second part) the order should be now Sarymsakova 1st, Baziliuk 2nd.

 

[Novalis]

Kostyleva is losing positions here

 

[Imminielle]

I think the score-box isn't working properly as it sums all four jumps. With the boys yesterday, it was only the best solo jump and the best combo that counted. Which would mean Kostyleva would still be up there as she nailed her second lutz and (sort of) her second combo.
