2020-21 Russian Ladies' Figure Skating

[Minz]

I'm aware, it doesn't change that I think its ugly.

Fair enough, just saying, that's what the costume is. It sort of came with the program/artistic vision.

I quite agree, I much prefer the dark blue costume she used when she started skating this program. It just wasn't the same since then. Something like Kolyada's FS costume..

According to Wikipedia, Anastasia Gracheva is now skating for Moldova. Do you know who her coach is and any information about her?

Speaking of costumes, does anybody know why they make Kamila's skirts longer than everyone else's? It's definitely not coincidence, could it have sth do to with her super long legs? Cause I would be showcasing them instead. Or to make her look more floating than she is already? Maybe even extra traditional parents weighing in?

I am sick of it.
Is every skater obliged to wear skirt of the exact same length? What is her parents' traditions have to do with it? It's just one dress of many others. She had and has many dresses with short skirt or no skirt at all, why didn't you ask is it because of her parents traditions?
Diana Davis has the the long skirt of the same length, why don't ask is it because of her parents traditions?

FYI "traditional costume" looks like this -

Diana Davis is an ice dancer, comparing costumes between the 2 disciplines comparing completely different animals, ice dance has no jumping. Its much more common to see ice dancers wearing much longer/fabric heavy outfits

Captain Empress. Has a nice ring to it.

Hope she rules work as iron fist. There is a gold to be won. Haha

Obviously because of her long legs. Looks great IMO, especially from afar.

Looks like that post was removed... wish I would have saved it.

Aha! That explains why she didn't show up at any RC Stages this season. Last time we saw her was at senior Nationals last season.

Does that mean she can compete for Moldova next season or does she need to sit out another year? If not, she will surely qualify for the Olympics.

I just realise how unlucky Nugumanova was this season when Europeans got cancelled. Surely the RusFed would have sent her as she was the 3rd senior at Nationals. She might even have medalled. The only threat I see for a podium place would have been Hendrickx and Safonova (Ryabova, Paganini has not been in form this season).

A high place at Europeans would have given her many WS points and then she would have been solid in terms of GP spots.

Im guessing Shcherbakova will not be doing the quads at WTT just basing on her schedules so far. With the media rounds, traveling and shows I dont think she is getting a consistent extensive training and not after she already struggled with the quads at worlds.

Actually, I don't see why would she jump guads.

She can outscore 3×3A Liza easily when she's clean. Rika could win if she would pull herself together but is she able to do that?

I'm guessing she will at least try to see how it goes before the competition.

The rule is 2 years , did she do any competitions outside of Russia? And to go the Olympics, she would need citizenship from Moldova and win her spot from Nebelhorn.

Knowing Anna, she'll probably try one regardless. She has nothing to lose anyway.

At the World Championships, I read somewhere that Liza said that she wanted Anna and Sasha to feel taken care of because they were traveling alone. Does anyone know the article/interview where she said this?
