They don't seem to have elements?!?

No elements because this is qualification for junior nationals

There were 4 in the younger girls group who had 3-3 combinations with at least neutral GOE this year. Last year there were 3 but one of those was a 3T-3T. Looking at the couple years prior it seems nobody did 3-3 combinations at this age group until last year.

But there were junior cup stages and Daria Sadkova participated finishing 7th and 6th if I remember correctly. Or only top skaters qualify and the rest is decided by local competitions?

Cup stages - for the Cup Final, and afaik (however I am not completely sure) top 3 qualifies for nationals, the rest - by regional qualifications, you are right

Thank you.

Even if this was the only cover version of I Can't Dance I heard it's surely the worst one...

Valeria Khodykina, I wonder if she is a relative to Denis Khodykin.

Actually I believe being properly filmed and with skaters in team dresses Elements could be quite fun.

Except probably StSq part - even at top level steps sometimes looked like skater is tortured by an invisible but powerful force. Although such kind of content will probably also find its viewer.

Kostyleva really is nice to watch, but only stsq2

I don't get that-it is my favorite part of her skating, beautiful flow and edging.

 

[Mawwerg]

Alisa tried 4T but did not succeed.

 

[Mawwerg]

Vazhnova struggled a lot with her Lutzes.

 

[Mawwerg]

4Sq and 4S<+2T< from Gordeeva.

 

[Mawwerg]

Paramonova's jumps look great!

 

[Novalis]

High quality stuff from the last six in jump elements. Nice lutzes, combos

Titova's flip too

 

[brakes]

Titova improved her jumps. Not my cup of coffee artistically, but she's growing to a solid, reliable skater.

The final six enters the ice when the clock is about to hit 11pm local time

Krivonosova's step sequence was lvl 4 on stream but seems like it got downgraded to 3. Shame, would have been the first lvl 4 I've ever seen in this competition.

Was a lot better artistically when she was in Sambo-70 Crystal. Lost her personal style since then, unfortunately. She's solid but the class overall probably isn't amazing if she's the strongest representive of the age group. After a streak like Valieva 06 Akatieva, Samodelkina 07, Zhilina 08 the 09 age group feels closer to 05. 04, 03, 02 etc. obviously all have amazing star skaters.

Watched most of top 10 performances here and the only one who stroke me as an big overall talent was Kostyleva.

The rest of girls have some solitary strong features here and there, but only Kostyleva has it all.

Paramonova and Kulikova are very solid overall 08-skaters. Quietly impressive in Zhilina's shadow. Rubtsova, Shifrina and Titova all very good for their age (09s), but nothing crazy.

This Elements session here didn't create big gaps in the top 6.

Kulikova has sass, nice performer, Paramonova barealy squeaked those jumps, both don't have speed and freedom Kostyleva has.
Girl flies over the ice like a bird.
