2021-22 Russian Women's Figure Skating

[sparklestan]

I understand why Sofia Akatieva and Adeliya Petrosian are not on the list as they are obviously not intended to meet Sofia Samodelkina. Each of those three will surely get her own two spots without meeting each other to maximize their chances for the JGPF (and possibly full russian JGPF).

On the other hand, a thing, that is rather confusing for me, is that I do not see Daria Sadkova on the list of subs. That can mean she also gets a chance at least at one event to be without the presence of any skater of the strongest trio, but it can also mean they do not count with her, which would be weird as she's the member of the national team.

Maybe with Daria they figured they would send her alongside Sofia A or Adelia to limit the number of coaches traveling? Hopefully she’ll be at least on the sub list for the events that her training mates will be attending.

That's also possible. First entry together with Sofia or Daria and the second one if she will deliver well.

Never heard any female skater landed a Q-Q combo like 4T-4T. What's the source?

They're off ice and look underrotated but still pretty amazing!

Here's the 3As too.



Edit: the links didn't copy over properly

Actually, the caption says they're 4T-4T but the rotation is so fast I really can't tell...

i mean you can't really do a toe loop correctly off ice without toe axeling it, so technically they're all 3As.

Fair enough 3A-3A is a pretty cool combo anyhow

 

[Arbitrary]

Not Q-Q, rather 3Ax-3Ax sequence.

Zakharova! Yes! I was hoping she would get a spot. She earned that spot with her 4th place at Russian Cup. I can wait to see her compete. I’m hoping she can come in 2nd place. It is going to be super competitive getting a 2nd spot in the Junior Circuit for the Russian girls.

We also know that Eteri's skaters just got their programs. Maybe they planned for later spots for them?

Such is the mismanagement of young skaters more like.

How was Tarakanova mismanaged?

It was off-ice jumping drills, the video was floating around Instagram. I don't remember Frolova ever doing even a single quad on the ice, so somehow I doubt she starts landing a combination quad-quad on ice anytime soon.

How was Tarakanova mismanaged?

Maybe it was just that she was unmanageable? She seemed to be front and center of her own drama and its consequences.

 

[Azikin]

Should be an easy win for Sofia!

Should be but maybe Zakharova added some Ultra C? Could be interesting..

Maybe it was just that she was unmanageable? She seemed to be front and center of her own drama and its consequences.

I don't think it was that exactly, I think she just burned out. From her own words, she wanted to quit, but felt bad because her parents had sunk so much into her skating. The Eteri group was just too intense for her I think.

 

[Minz]

Alright, while no one probably cares, I’ll be away with no internet access for the next 3 and half weeks.

I taught my dad how to use sports.ru so he can write me the news!

Also, if there is any major chaos, controversy or drama, someone please PM me so again, my dad (or someone) can write to me!

Thanks and see you guys soon!

I could not find the source message. Do they say who will sell tickets? Usual suspects are parter.ru and kassir.ru. But I have not found anything about it yet.

I found the source. They say that kassir.ru will sell tickets. There is no information on kassir.ru Well, I will go there on July 26 at 10 a.m. May be it's not a hoax and I manage to buy tickets.

4T from Anastasia Zinina. The video is signed 'On the preparation to test skates', so Nastya will apparently be there.

Nice!

Didn't Anastasia attempt the 4T in competition a few times last season? Were any of her past attempts < or clean? Or were they all falls or downgraded?

And have we seen any other past practice footage of her landing quads?

All the eteri students got their programs? Cool, hope we find out what they are soon.

URed, but good attempt nonetheless.
