S.A. Zhuk Memorial - Russian Novices Nationals (younger age) - 10-14 March 2021, Saransk

Everything about Prineva gives me Trusova vibe The look, body type, insane control (scary axes today...) and rotation speed, stability...even that iconic hairstyle of Sasha! My humble prediction: this girl will get quads in the near future (with proper coaching...

Elena not landing that 3Lutz in the elements has really hurt her had she landed it she would most likely be in the top 3 now.

And Sarimsakova too, so high PCS. I guess the CSKA bonus will be around 2 PCS in this competition for the SP.

It's interesting how in Moscow it wasn't so, I guess CSKA has more influence nationally than regionally.

Oh well, at least they put Sarymsakova’s PCS over Prineva. But there’s no way these two (esp. Prineva) score higher than Krivonosova in PCS, and even Elena.

General thoughts on PCS of top 5

Skating skills: Kostyleva>Krivonosova>Taisya/Sarymsakova>>Prineva

Performance: Krivonosova>>Kostyleva/Sarymsakova>Taisya/Prineva

so, I’d put Kostyleva/Krivonosova>Sarymsakova>Taisya>Prineva

Short Program

Alёna Krivonosova (Moskvich) 62.00
Daria Sarymsakova (CSKA) 61.76
Elena Kostyleva (Sambo-70) 58.97
Alёna Prynёva (CSKA) 58.10

Very good scores for younger group.

Kostyleva lvl 2 step sequence, Krivonosova lvl 4 though.

And I really don't think her skating skills are better than Krivonosova's

Regardless, Krivonosova especially had such engaging choreo and dedicated performing, then Prineva skates with some non-program with zero expression or performing and weak skating skills and scores higher in PCS. How crooked.

You can't beat Krivonosova and Sarymsakova, if they are pointing their guns to judges through their whole perfromances!

For real though - they are so much fun to watch!

This was a recent Moscow local, Krivonosova almost 2 points higher in PCS than Sarimsakova. But now they decide that Sarimsakova was better.

Kostyleva got lvl2 today? I thought she tend to get lvl4...Anyway, I cant’t tell the level from bare eyes, but her edge and flow looks better then Krivonosova, who had two obvious stumble today. Krivonosova definitely has better choreo and expression though, and that helped a lot.

Yeah, it's hard for me to put anyone over her highness Kostyleva, but Krivonosova is really THAT good.
Still, maybe Elena has more innate talent and perspectives - we must remember she's is 1 year younger.

Hey Artur G! Good luck Alexandra!

Hey V/T music!

Krivonosova‘s PCS stood out among her age group a looooog time ago. At least 3 seasons ago, when she was still doing that Kachyusha program. She was 9yo doing 1a/double jumps, which was quite behind in her group, but she‘ll always win somehow with her amazing PCS. Honestly quite shocked that they put her at 3rd here.

 

[Novalis]

Krivonosova, Sarymsakova, Prineva has really become this kind of a non-Eteri trio dominating the 2010's.

Wonder if one or more of them end up at TT.

That's probably why she was not under my radar. She and especially her short hit me like a thunder this season!

I have no idea how the older group could possibly surpass the show we've just witnessed.

Titova and Dvoyeglazova can't touch these girls, I like Sadkova and Kulikova's performance skills, but they are kind of Russian roulette with their jumps. Feel feel to prove me wrong though!

They are not in the same age group though.
Krivonosova 2009-2010
Prineva / Sarymsakova / Taisya 2010-2011
Kostyleva 2011-2012

I think Prineva with her rotation speed could seriously get some quads under Eteri.
Krivonosova better not...I want to see more great programs from her

I get some really cool vibes from that coach, maybe he choreographed SP himself?

Yeah, besides Sadkova, my absolute favourites among this group Melkumova and Dzepka are both not here due to injury (and Vazhnova, though not because of injury but she didn’t qualify...
