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

I don't think that Rubtsova's performing has very much to it. But at least she managed to mostly land the jumps. She has been struggling with it a little so that's good.

 

[Shayuki]

Marasanova gets barely any distance in her jumps

Unfortunately, yeah. She needs to do something about them or it'll be tough for them to last.

 

[MaggieLin]

Rubtsova definitely has the potential, just need polish and perhaps, better competition strategy. She has failed her short program 3lz3lo way too many times, causing her going into the free in a disadvantage situation. Should go with 3lz3t.

Hopefully add a 3a next season?

Oh dear Maria, her best showing of the season really came at jr nats.

Im shocked they are insisting on that but it has come long way from the beginning of the season. So maybe next season she can have that combo on lock?

Oh no poor Maria dont cry

 

[Mariiiiskate]

I wonder if they will have Alisa not do her 4T and go clean, she is right now less than 1 point behind Titova, I feel like ditching the quad and potentially going clean could get her 1st place.

 

[Novalis]

Kulikova as steady as ever

Now Alisik!!!

 

[MaggieLin]

Liza K!! Really enjoyed her skating since Ice Age. Her performance is a bit introverted but very powerful. Hope she’s on the podium!

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Oh it was so close this time.

 

[Novalis]

Alisa is being the new Maiia with those quad attempts, now that the original Maiia has moved on.

Otherwise very nice!

 

[Novalis]

Dashenka time. Davai!!!

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Oh no poor girl dont cry Sofia

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Dasha is beutiful skater! Her jump consistency is her only downfall for now she can't seem to go clean. I hope it gets better next season and she gets that 3A

 

[Novalis]

Alisa I guess is the winner

Daria really is quite a talented skater - i believe she is older than some of the ladies here and it really shows in her maturity and confidence. i don’t love either program of hers but i do think she has loads of potential, especially for a 3A. she just needs to get the jumps to be consistent.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Was not expecting Alisa to win this congrats!

Yes, since she’s new to the group, I’m sure Eteri has a way of making her consistent

I think it already started, considering how Dasha's results go relatively constantly up.

Nevertheless, seeing Sofia Titova and Daria Sadkova close to tears breaks my heart

But congrats to Alisa Dvoeglazhova, little surprising winner

Very cute podium
